DOES

Born on a Sunday. This little magical human being. Adventurous but focused. Funny and caring. Akosua is her name. Back in the nineties she and I would sneak out to do an illegal piece. It got her arrested, this badass girl. Later we would sneak out for months and travel the world from the outback of Australia to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. She assisted me with a mural on great heights in Italy and set up my solo show in Chicago. She is the girl I had a crush on long before she noticed me. She is definitely the kind of woman you conquer the world with, the type of woman you marry. In her I chose the mother of my sons. Nowadays she is the driving force behind team DOES. It’s her who encourages me when I hesitate and who kicks my ass when need be. I can count on her critical notes when a piece is below level. Straightforward as she is, she forces me to stay sharp, to keep pushing my limits and develop myself as a person and as an artist. But most of all, she is there for me. Always. Not visible to you, but
