I Used to be King
I Used to Be King is a 16”x20” painting made with spraypaint, acrylic, texturizing paste, and powdered paint pigments. Symbolic of the futile struggle against the unstoppable march of time, this was an attempt to encapsulate some of the existential fear that manifests itself most often as an aimless rage.

Meet the Artist
Cincinnati, United StatesI am a spraypaint artist in Cincinnati, and have been making and selling original spray paint art since 2021. I first started with spraypaint in 2002 when I was only 12, and while I’ve had some formal art education, my spraypaint knowledge and abilities come from studying others and developing my own processes. I hand-cut every stencil I make, and have been working in larger and larger scales, to go from canvases to walls, fences, and buildings. I enjoy working on both small and large scales, most of my work thus far has been on canvas, but I have loved each mural I’ve had the chance to paint!
