Still Karma Tho

I titled this blog, "still Karma tho," because yes, the painting is titled 'F.K.A. Karma' but I am still Karma though. What does that mean? I came up with the name FKA Karma when I was a teenager. I had just found out who FKA Twigs was and fucked with her music. I quickly put the 'FKA' in front of my name and thought it was the dopest thing.

After looking it up, I realized that FKA stands for 'formerly known as.' Formerly, meaning used to be. I just laughed at myself like, "but damn, wait, I'm still Karma though." Regardless, I ran with it. I don't know if FKA Twigs is still called Twigs too or if she's called something else now or what. It definitely confused and interested me but even after finding out all of that I still just loved how F.K.A Karma sounded and wanted to keep paying ode to FKA Twigs, so that's why it still sits before us today.

As far as the actual imagery in the painting, that's a whole other story. To keep it short, I was taking photos of myself and loved how one of them came out. I decided to paint that photo and add some more 'me' to the piece by painting F.K.A. Karma on the shorts along with my colors, grey and pink, and some things that convey my personality like aliens and lightning. The clouds did originally look natural in the photo but I wanted to add some extra color; you could say it was my first semi-attempt at painting clouds.

This was one of my first pieces. It reminds of a completely different time. Back when I was painting in bed, staying at a motel. A very low point in my life but the beginning, nonetheless.
