    No Church in the Wild

    This was a really dope project for me and for the first time in a long time i'm pretty proud of myself. I knew what I wanted to do, had the image in my head and with enough inspriation from the ablum and the particular song, was able to translate it straight onto canvas.

    I appreciate everyones support throughout the process and who watched the video.

    "First off, it's art, interpret it however you wish.

    Jay and Yeezy are two of my favorite artists and there is a lot of symbolism in these pieces obviously and I really wanted to represent the album in a lot of ways with hard work, symbolism and overall cleanliness. I was immediately drawn to "No Church in the Wild" because of the beat, lyrics and how versatile and open the song was for interpretation.

    Worked on these for a little over a month. I do have a center peiece with the chorus started but it's still being worked on. I definitely wanted to take this piece in a different direction than my other videos without losing focus on what the subject was.

    I took footage from:
    - JayZ and Kanye performance at SXSW 2011
    - Yeezy's "Diamonds are Forever" 
    - Yeezy's "Runaway" full length film"
