Defend The Queen

🖤 Painted this tonight.
“The sun’s gone, but I’ve got a light.” ✨

Felt like leaning full-tilt into the grit, the nostalgia, and the rawness that made this era hit so hard. Grunge wasn’t clean, and neither is stencil work — that’s why it fits.

Tagging the legends & the spirit of the era:

Felt good to get the cans back in my hands again 🎨💨
Nothing like putting paint to canvas and watching it come to life — a little Queen City energy, a lotta layers, and plenty of teal.

Big inspiration came from seeing the ’s skateboard art display featuring and their ‘Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing’ theme. Charlotte’s creative scene keeps pushing boundaries and inspiring new work — this one’s my take on that legacy.

Maybe one day it finds its way onto a deck. 🐺🐑

There’s nowhere like Charlotte. 💜💙🖤
A city crowned in pride, united by our teams, and fueled by our passion — from the gridiron to the pitch, the ice to the hardwood, the track to the field.
This piece is a tribute to the 704 — to the roar of the 🐆 , the sting of the 🐝 , the fire of ⚽ , the grit of 🏒 , the battle of , the independence ⚔️ , the of lacrosse, the anthem of rugby , and the thunder of 🏎️ NASCAR nation.

This is Queen City sports — loud, loyal, legendary. 👑

This one was a beast. By far the most complicated stencil and spray paint piece I’ve ever tackled — and I almost talked myself out of finishing it. But this building… this place… deserved the effort.

The Neighborhood Theatre in NoDa isn’t just a venue — it’s part of Charlotte’s creative heartbeat. I used to live right around the corner, catching shows here and soaking up the energy that makes this neighborhood what it is. NoDa has always been the arts district, and this marquee is one of its most iconic symbols.

Maybe that’s why this piece means so much to me. It’s layered with memories, music, and the creative pulse of this city.

✨ Had to paint this for my daughter — she’s obsessed with Benson Boone. So I surprised her with this canvas for her room. 🎨🎸

Hey — hope you don’t mind a little fan art in the wild. 🙏
