Cream is a title for the majority of my artwork. Its a body of brightly-colored work that focuses on memories and desires. It is a concept of  liveliness that is mainly inspired by adolescent and childhood playfulness.
 
When I was a senior in high school, I went to The Oxbow School in Napa, California. I had a roommate who was from San Fancisco and was into grafitti. He introduced me to the artform and a lot of grafitti artists. I was never too good at that sort of stuff so I wanted to learn about it. I racked my mind for weeks thinking of a word or name that would be original and somewhat meaningful to practice with. I decided to draw a bunch of letters and pick out the ones I liked most. Then I took that pool of letters and made words out of them. I thought CREAM would work. I wrote CM as an abreviation. It didn’t mean anything to me at all! I figured that if it didnt work well or created something better I could always change it and draw something else.
 
After a couple weeks of trying to go out at two or three in the morning to paint on walls and dumpsters, I realized it wasn’t my thing. I stuck to drawing CM on paper. Then I began to notice that all my work related to CREAM was about flashiness and additude. I drew and painted a lot of jewelery and cars with huge rims. I sketched and painted animated, dynamic splashes and curves. Bright colors filled my sketchbook. I continued to produce the same style of work without intending to, but then I began to consciously group the work together as one body or a large series. CREAM had evolved into a window with a clear view into my ego. It seems to represent a state of mind where I feel I am the better than every one else. I come to an understanding with myself that only my opinion matters. I created a place ruled by my ego where nobody compares to me. Where the only voices worthy of being heard are the ones in my head.
 
The word doesn’t really mean anything. Most of the reason I still use it is out of habit. But it continues to run through my head and until it stops, I’ll probably keep covering my sketchbook pages with it.
