A life­time ago, I spent the bet­ter part of a decade work­ing for a bank in a cul­tur­al­ly Slav­ic neigh­bor­hood in Sacramento.

To call it a bank is generous.

It was a beige win­dow­less cell in a chain gro­cery store we all shared.

We laughed off these crest­fall­en days like sol­diers … pass­ing cups of Keurig Cof­fee like cigarettes.

Many long bor­ing Sun­days gave way to long dis­cus­sions about life.

I re­mem­ber hear­ing dif­fi­cult, but round­ed and real un­der­stand­ings of life un­der the USSR.

I also came to see how of­ten the Ukrain­ian and Russ­ian peo­ple com­fort­ably co­ex­ist­ed (but not al­ways), and how many times to me, the two cul­tures felt interchangeable.

I was the fish out of water.

We had dif­fer­ences, some were so po­lar­ized, it may have even been un­com­fort­able to be friends out­side of a work environment.

But it was the thread of ne­ces­si­ty that kept us to­geth­er, and our shared ex­pe­ri­ence that cre­at­ed mu­tu­al re­spect and fondness.

I’m hon­ored to place the mem­o­ry of my friends and these lessons of co­ex­is­tence in the per­ma­nent canon of my art.
 

I’ve cre­at­ed a mixed me­dia print for FUCK WAR WORLD­WIDE, an art show­case cu­rat­ed by jm knud­sen.

Yari­lo is my prayer for the peo­ple di­rect­ly af­fect­ed by this war.

That we can all once again live, dream and grow – care­free, un­der the light of the sun.
 

FUCK WAR is up for around the next month at The Trade Cof­fee & Cowork­ing on K in Sacra­men­to.

100% of all art in the show goes to­ward hu­man­i­tar­i­an aid for Ukraine.


 

Fol­low­ing the show, i will be sell­ing every­thing re­lat­ed to this piece (The NFT orig­i­nal, A/P, full screen­print run, and T‑Shirts) half off for the re­main­der of the con­flict, with the hope that you will do­nate the dif­fer­ence to a cause in this con­flict that you feel called to.

I will also be print­ing Yari­lo as a shirt sole­ly in yel­low for now.
 

If you are in­ter­est­ed in Yari­lo, con­tact jm knud­sen (above).

And please sup­port FUCK WAR.
