This was the first painting I created that led to the brand direction that Next Wave took for years to come. I sent the photo of my painting to my friend and long time visual collaborator, Quentin Deronizer who slightly edited the photo to bring out some darker undertones.

We later on used this artwork to create a flyer for our first underground party at our Melrose HQ in los Angeles.

So many memories are tied to this image so it felt really right to have this be our debut NFT.
