Each of the artist’s creations is printed as a series of 8, every piece is signed and incorporates W4’s treasured concert tickets, backstage passes, hidden hippos, various symbols and a trail of Hindu writing. “I like the Hindi calligraphy, it means ‘World of Lyrics’.”




The artist has works on exhibit in Miami's Wynwood Arts District and West Palm Beach's Cultural Corridor.
