This shirt was a Collab with my good friend Ryan Smallman.
The idea for this artwork came after encountering a handful of people that asked me “are you really the artist?” when they met me for a job.
I’m a woman, I look much younger than I am, I'm Latina, and because of this I always felt like I had to prove myself twice when entering a new meeting or a new job.
I decided to turn this feeling into art, and give an answer to everyone that ever doubted me:
YES, I AM THE ARTIST
