I was drawn to the idea KAWS had back in the 90s. His start in graffiti had turned heads for his unorthodox approach, his process was to take ads from bus stops and paint eccentric ghosts and figures. I love that idea so much I wanted to try it myself. I started with looking through my family album and began to digitize them and adding my own creations such as Nopalito and such. I often thought about how my life, and the lives of my siblings and cousins were just starting out in these photos. It had me wondering what my parents, aunts and uncles would think of us now that we’re all grown up.
