Transcript

Year ago, I went on a ten day trip to the Himalayas. It involved riding horses up to the border of Tibet. I had never ridden a horse before, and on the first day, we got caught in a crazy storm, and it's freezing. I good altitude sickness, and the worst part about that was nine days to go. But somewhere in these ten days, and I can't really tell you at exactly what point, I ran out of distractions. When you're up in the mountains, it's just you and your thoughts. You start to think about your life quite a lot. And I thought to myself, if I ever make it out of here, I'm gonna go back back and do something I actually really love no matter how ridiculous. And for me, that was arts. So I came bad, and the first collection I painted was actually my Nepal collection, these three pieces. And to mark this one year anniversary since this trip, I'm gonna be releasing some limited edition silk screen prints. They'll be out on June 30.
