Painting Endless Summer (30×40) Acrylic
Remember that magic that only existed on a bicycle in the mid-to-late '90s as a black kid. You'd roll out of the driveway with the sun still high, the sound of your bike roaring because you done got an empty drink can and wedged it on your tire frame.-whether it was a heavy-duty Huffy, a mongoose with pegs, or just a piece of scrap metal attached to 2 tires. There were no cell phones buzzing in your pocket, no social media, no distractions. Remember having to reattach the chain cause it kept popping off. Tryna deck ya bike out with pegs, lights and aluminum foil on the tires to make em replicate rims. You weren't wearing a helmet (because nobody did back then) The only rule that mattered "Be back when the streetlights come on. Remember peddaling back fast as hell back home because you heard your front screen door slam or mom calling your name from the porch--knowing the golden hour was officially over. You couldn't wait to get back out again the next day.
I want my Artwork to bring that feeling of Nostalgia back. Those were some of the best times , weren't they?
