this painting was done in the spirit of one of the coolest guys i know named matt. he was one of the most committed, honorable, witty and realest men i've known. he hired me to work for him in 1999 and although i was not in any shape to take it on, i quit my job and worked a solid year for him. One of my most difficult years, however such an incredible experience. he is what i base my minimalist and redacted lifestyle on. i know he was able to muster such great things because of his sacrificing surface level pleasure. while we were hitting up the club and having fun he was plotting his ascent with trusted confidants. in spiritual terms, i was poised to inherit his kingdom but he ended up taking mine. but the truly great ones leave behind them nothing but learning experiences. i get a lot of my honor and ability to let go from working with him. we used to go to vegas or get in bar fights. he gave me his job as a bouncer at a club called sacrifice- coincidence- i think not. He knows when to reap and when to sow.
