Transcript
Around this time ten years ago, my life changed forever. I got out of a rehab, and I moved into a halfway house. Shortly after that, one of my roommates brought home a tie dye kit, and I immediately became obsessed with it. For the first time in my life, I had something that my brain could focus on that wasn't substances. So in honor of that ten year anniversary, I wanted to make a design that kinda reflected that experience. Another cool layer behind this design is I used all of the techniques that made up the first design that I ever felt was unique to me, the classic combo of spine which is made up of a mandala, Kenny style background and a honeycomb spine. And here's what that last step looks like all dyed up. Altogether, this took me twenty six hours of painting, tying and dyeing and here it is. I'm calling this piece Freedom. This was also my third attempt at painting with thick and dye. Really proud of this one. Let me know what you think.
