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."
