Why I Still Make Playful Art During Heavy Times (Madlib, Graffiti & Christmas) 🖼️🖌️🎄🎨

Описание: During the holidays, everything speeds up — sales, opinions, noise.

I wanted to slow things down and share why I still make playful art, even when times feel heavy.

This video isn’t about promotion or rankings.

It’s about balance — creating warmth, humor, and softness while staying connected to what’s happening around us.

This season, I’ve been working on holiday pieces, vending at Artlands, and also creating artwork for a Madlib benefit show supporting relief efforts for the Eaton fires.
Holding both joy and responsibility in the work felt important to me.

All of the music you hear in this video are instrumental beats made by me — small snippets from an upcoming mixtape titled Me, Myself & Art.

Some art sells quickly.
Some art stays personal.
Both matter.

If you’re creating right now — or resting — both count.

Thanks for spending a little quiet time with me.
