Interview with Art Zine

Hey there, hru? Hope all is well!

Let’s jump right into it.

So tell me about your art. How/when did u get started? 

Chelly- I have been doing art ever since I was a kid. My mother was very supportive and nurturing toward my creative side. I would say that art took a more dominant roll in my life around 8th grade, that's when I began building a portfolio in hopes of being accepted to a magnet arts school. I ended up being accepted to Dillard school of the performing arts, where I developed my style and skill. Unfortunately due to an often turbulent home life and my mother's failing health, I was forced to give up my scholastic opportunities. However I have never stopped creating work and fortunately it has led to many new and lucrative projects.

What medium do you like to use?

Chelly- I love acrylics, sharpie markers and spray paint, as well as multi media. Sometimes I'll include glitter or collage elements. Recently I have been experimenting with incorporating heavy textures and three dimensional objects into my pieces.

What inspires your art?

Chelly- I draw a lot of inspiration from my dreams, personal experiences, nature, Esoteric symbolism and fantasy landscapes. I put a lot of my personal life in my pieces, however I also have my pop side which is more inspired by cultural trends, fashion, film and urban themes. I often find myself somewhat between the two sides.

Is there a message that you hope to convey to your audience?

Chelly- My intention is to convey emotions and experiences in an engaging way. I really want people to be emersed in my pieces the way someone might get into a film or piece of music. Ultimately I strive towards connectedness. I believe people have more in common than they might realize and that the sense of separation is merely an illusion. We all have something to share.

Are you currently on exhibit anywhere? 

Chelly- Not currently, no. I do have some pretty big and exciting projects lined up later this month. I will be painting the Good Intentions Kitchen food truck, which I am very excited about. I'm currently in the planning stages for a project at Virginia Key Outdoor Center ( VKOC). I do however show my work privately, by appointment at my studio located in Little Haiti.

Where do u see your art in 5 years?

Chelly- I'd like to see myself on the road, traveling with my art and making music as well. Hopefully collaborating with my favorite artists and musicians.

Are there any other art forms that you have experimented with?

Chelly- I've dabbled in film, photography, jewelry making and sculpture. I would like to get into installation art.

What’s your biggest memory as an artist?

Chelly- The most impactful memory I have as an artist has to do with the final performance of my former band Prostitots. We played a very intimate set and had an amazing audience. At the end of our set a man came to meet us and he told us that he was in Miami because he had lost his home and family in an earthquake in Haiti, he explained that he had fallen into a deep depression. He had come to out just to have a drink, but ended up watching our set. He told us he hadn't felt joy since the earthquake and that dancing to our songs made him feel happy. He smiled and gave us all hugs and thanked us for making him feel something good. It was the most impactful moment, better than any compliment I have ever received.

Now if the people want to see more of your work, where can they go? Social media, website, etc?

Chelly- I post most of my work on Instagram

Baker Actions

Spent a long time being

A ride or die

Until I realized that

It was only I

Who was doing all the dying

Catching feelings, why?

Halfway reciprocation

Keep me satisfied

And all the other drama

I would just play blind

Extend a friendly hand

And suck it up with a smile

Unconditional love

I'm placing nothing above

I won't regurgitate emotions

For fear of

separation

Anxiety builds

My self-esteem

Would get killed

Thinking that

I'm the one that's damaged

Cause you out here seeking

Cheap thrills

I couldn't numb it with pills

I couldn't chase it with Coke

There wasn't any kind of substance

That would help me to cope

Seems like a good time to croak

In the bathtub I soaked

I think I'll open up a vein or two

we'll see who's a joke

Time passes

Flashes fast

before my aching eyes

Took too much effort

To think back on

Some better times

I'd rather end it now

then endore any other kind

of discomfort

by the aid of Your hand no more

I found the door

And with my fist

I will pound on it

Til bloody and bruised

Please help

Get me fucking

Out of this

A pretty pink knife

Is that how we ending this?

Until Interrupted

by a firm grasp

Clasped around my wrist

.

Shiiit

You ain't gonna

Stop me now

Open my eyes

take a look around

I think I found

a resolution

This here

Bottle of Clorox

my solution

Bottoms up

Oh fuck!

This ain't working fast enough

Bash my skull

In Hopes it will end it all

Leek out the contents of my brain

And paint the fucking walls

I crave it

Please work this time

I Pull back,

bash and

Repeat until I'm blind

But I didn't die

I wonder why

Staring at the spots

in my eyesight

Suicide watch

Because I

needed to be supervised

Stripped down naked

In a Velcro suit

single cell

Division

Cause we can't trust you

Not to be stupid

With utensils

Or even with your

Toilet paper too

Got a tiny little window

Where the light peaks through

Just another little feature

Meant to torture you

And you ain't getting out

Until you give some proof

Of mental stabilization

The doctor's here for you

Well well well

Audience what do you say?

[horlipion]

Trap

I came across a picture

I was wearing a smile

It was stretching ear to ear,

you coulda seen it for miles

I was clutching on a bottle

With a spring in my step

A Rose colored approach

My optimism was lit

But was it really the case

This cheesey grin on my face

Was I just hedging my bets?

Just kind of playing it safe?

Busy convincing myself

This is my happiest place.

Without a care in the world

at least none I would face

Expecting nothing would change

Nothing disrupting the pace

Pulled the rug from beneath

And I found me a trap

It's just a trap

It's all a trap man it's just a trap

I'm a trap and she a trap we all a trap

We fucking trapped

[horlipion]

Got to get

Get one on one

Til it's eye to eye we see

I'm a part of it

Like it's a part you

And you're a part of me

I not live for marriage

No push baby carriage

I live to be free

But sadness consumes me

Because I'm on this plain

In Metaphysical chains and

Woke up in the God seat

In my brain it's not complete

I don't mean defeat

It's illusion eye trickery

Not a subject for bickering

Light candles flickering

Shine as bright as

the observer can perceive

Distance not measuring

Because time folds

So behold the endless

Soup of chaos and probability

The ether

No true good

and no true evil

That's yin and yang

Dialate your pupils

[horlipion]

[horlipion]

Dick Pic in my DM

I woke this morning

to a dick pick in my dm

I guess I can't get mad

when I see him

With his little engine that couldn't

hold a conversation if he tried,

I should just testify

Your testees aren't the best things

that I could catch an eyefull of in the am

it's just awful like blue waffle

and I'd rather save that scare,

with your nasty unkempt pubic hair

Shitstreeked and wholey underwear

More like I wonder where you

would even consider that as presentable,

that's hairable excuse me I meant terrible,

so bad it's fucking up my vowel sounds,

it's turning in my bowels like sour fucking milk,

nigga you need some fucking help,

Id give you no stars if you were some fucking Yelp

but I guess that's why out here trying slide

In my dms behind a screen you hide

Talking though but let's see you whip it on me in these streets, oh nigga best believe I'll chopping meat. You can call me the butcher of 62nd St.

Come on and try me.

[horlipion]

Patient

Been living like a shadow

Trying to grab a dream like smoke

And when it slips between my fingers

I lose a little more hope

But that's the problem

I'm learning how to cope

laugh at this life

And all it's fucked up jokes

Like the one that's standing in the mirror

It could not be much clearer

I recognize the face but not the soul

Eyes full of fear

Cause I was blinded

Sometimes the light

at the end of the tunnel

Turns out to be a train

you didn't expect it

wrecks you

and leaves you

with a broken

Twisted mess.

But before you seek to end it

realize it's for the best.

It's like a test,

you could call it a pop quiz

Cause life will lay in on ya

When you least expect it

[horlipion]

Step Beyond

It's so very boring

All this his and her history

Got me thinking about ignoring

All these messages that pour in

It's not my life

it's just highlights

Of all this great frustration

No Status updates

I hesitate

No sms

It's just some mess

A constant drama that unfolds

my nerves on test

To put plainly...

That's shits below my station

My goal is to

levitate

Got to elevate

to take hold of my week

That noise is just

a dis trac tion

from the higher

Free quency

I seek

To Leave jaws

dropped in disbelief

Inspire others

to want to reach

Those spaces

all else fear go

Recognize your strengths

Ex pand

on what you know

Come now

Get up on your feet

And let's

Take a step beyond

(Chorus)

Don't dull your focus

It's Smoke and mirrors

hocus pocus

Truth is

Folks like us be

royalty

But lost due

to the lack

of memory

Our ansestry

Is chemistry

The Galaxy

Gave out the dust

That makes us up

And someday will repeat

Because life's a circle

A cosmic tan dem

Star Bicycle

Sojourning

Through an ex panding

Celestial sea

Can't wait to see

What our energy

Will take the form of next

Don't get upset

All we have is

time to Perfect

So reflect

And project

Your will

and go make it so

You'll never get there

Til you try

So come on let's

take a step beyond

[horlipion]

Always

I wanna be a pure soul

sometimes for me it's hard though

I wanna act right

But then I just get solo

Ignoring all

Outside calls

Because I can't

handle other's energy

No Not my enemies

I bet they thinking

What kind of friend is she?

No call and no show

Absent from everything

Couldn't make it to your wedding

And forgot our anniversary

Birthdays and holidays

They don't really

mean that much to me

That's plain honesty

I appreciate the sentiment

But the concept

is a foreign one to me

I was raised without a family

Except for the ones thats chosen

See They mean everything to me

They coming few and far between

No more than a handful

But that's a good sign

Don't you think?

They say that one is loneliness number...

Does that include

the company of my reflection

That's introspection

I would rather be alone

But damn, I still crave your attention...

(Dialing and a faint hello)

Are you awake?

I know it's late

But I just had to say I love you

And I couldn't let it wait

Because I appreciate you

So thank you for being yourself
