this is wildwood state park in waiting reverse new york. this is a really important place to me. this is actually where a lot of my art was inspired from. i came here with my friend, tristan, and there used to be actually a tree right in front of me that we realized and put one of his funerary cards on. and it just so happened to have fallen down a lot in this place has been rooted. i think that coming back here now and seeing that the trees are gone really as to the summer ality of the art that i made. and like so many things that are no longer here, i can make them live on through my artistic vision. the this is a tattoo that i designed with my tattoo artist in 2015 after my friend trust and passed away. and i drew up this cicada inspired dagger knife because he really reminded me of a cicada. and every time i looked down on my arm, i can know that i shouldn't give up. and i got to dance the dance just like the cicadas do. i think that's a reminder to everyone, metlife is sure. and we should enjoy it as much as we can while we can, because we're kind of like cicadas to life rea

then i there's a place on long island, it's called wildwood state park. and that's where me and my friends used to go all the time. like growing up in high school and i found a budget cicadas there once, and there was this tree that i found and someone must put a saw in the tree. and it was just stuck like me and my friend trust and we're trying to pull it out. we couldn't pull it out. and unfortunately he passed away a few months later. and i remember i went back to the tree and there was a cicada on the saw. and that's what i base one of my paintings on. i honestly felt like it was him coming to visit me. i really feel like it's all symbolic with each other because so many things and are just so a femoral and they pass you by like the cicadas are and they live underground for lake 13 to 18 years and they come up just for 3 weeks and they buzz around and they thing their songs and they dance and dance and then they kind of die. they can make you sad for me when i think about my friend. it just makes really happy because he had a really good life even tho
