I mean, talk about a blast from the past - Ian and I used to tear it up in Soho back in '17 (YOU REMEMBER THE FAITH CONNEXION DAYS!)
Walking into that exhibit, the vibes were all love, baby. The place was buzzing with creativity and inspiration, just like the good ol' days. And let me tell you about Eshama, that wild and magnetic photographer with his quirky aura - always the been a beacon of light to me! Prolly one of the FEW people to really SEE me, feel me?
Major shouts to Tyler Jordan and the Art Department for putting this shindig together. And let's not forget Scrapyard NYC and Mezcal for keeping the drinks flowing and the good times rolling. It was a night to remember, back in the mix with the art fam, celebrating Ian's talent and soaking in the electric energy of NYC. Can't wait to see what the future holds for US ALL!
