"The fusion of a vintage Playboy magazine and a pile of ground weed on my coffee table, this artwork originated from a late-night creative session.

While working on visuals for one of Playboy's final print issues, which included an article titled 'In Drugs We Trust,' I came across an old sunglasses ad featuring Renauld White. This encounter led to an experimental fusion of marijuana and glue, culminating in one of my all time personal favorite artworks.


Over the years, this concept underwent significant evolution. I presented Playboy with a proposal to reimagine 'Weedman' on a larger scale, increasing its size fivefold and setting it in transparent resin.


Although initially celebrating marijuana's widespread legalization and recreational use, our collaboration evolved into a deeper narrative. The artwork emerged as a statement on the disproportionate impact of historical drug laws on Black communities. As a commitment to social justice, Playboy and I donated $10,000 to the Last Prisoner Project, symbolizing our dedication to addressing the injustices caused by previous cannabis convictions."
