Bey’s Cowboy Carter era felt refreshing, unexpected, and instantly iconic. Taking something rugged, Western, country, and classically Americana and translating that energy onto a pair of sturdy denim jeans felt like the most natural segue. Hand-painted, bold, and built to be worn—the denim became the canvas.

Inspired by Miss Tina Knowles’ memoir, Matriarch. Hearing her tell her own story, share her wisdom, and reflect on the life she’s built completely riveted and uplifted me. Naturally, I had to put it into paint.

Created for my friend Joshuah, this large-scale piece is an explosion of his nostalgia: favorite characters, pop-culture moments and memories that helped define his childhood. We put our heads together and turned the things he loves into one bold, deeply personal piece of art to christen his new home.

I took a vintage black leather biker jacket and gave it a full Painkiller Cam upgrade—hand-painted from top to bottom in electric hot pink leather paint, then covered it in Bad Bunny-inspired artwork, references, color, and details.

The result: a completely one-of-one, functional, wearable piece of art—part leather jacket, part painting, and 100% Bad Bunny energy.
