I wanted to bring some attention to my boys that have helped me make my work be so much better and to show some of the work they do on their own.

First off is my good homie Miguel Perez aka BOUNCE - DOA. He reps Trust your Struggle crew and originally from the Bay, Berkeley to be exact. He’s been a part of many of my projects from painting in the CHAINS documentary, LATV Rebrand, and Latino FIlm Festival pieces to doing design for the Artsy video and most recently the Paris music video. Miguel is one of the illest cats I know with spray paint, marker, pen, and mouse.

 
He is a nomadic brother that splits his time between Bay, NY, LA, and touring all over doing ridiculous murals for the people and communities that he visits.

Next up is my boy Ratha Nou representing his design company Stablished Creative. Ratha is an all around B-Boy who can dance, write, and design his ass off. Ra comes from San Jose and the Bay Area and reminds me of me when I was his age. If I was more funded right now Ratha would be in LA with me working on all my projects with me and prepping him to be the next hottest DIrector. Ra’s helped me to collaborate on commercials for Bronx based Graffiti and Tattoo empire TuffCityStyles and the Paris video. Ra can kill it in AE and C4D and keeps getting more and more ill each month.

Last but not least is my good friend in LA, Stephen Schuster. Stephen is living a parallel life to me, whereas he is making the transition from amazing Designer, Animator, and Creative Director to being a fulltime Director. We both still dabble in the freelance world of design and animation but push each other to achieve the dream of Directing. Stephen also got married around the same time as me, so we try to train together so our wives don’t think we’re fat and falling off. Stephen has helped me with the Paris video and we both do top secret projects together for agencies to make extra money. We share a love of fine Cinematography, stop motion, and fine art. Stephen was one of the big guns at Kyle Coopers company Prologue for a few years before going solo.
