Henry David Thoreau once said, “The world is but a canvas to your imagination”. 2:12, a Houston-based artist takes this concept to its literal end.

Wielding an X-acto knife, spray paint, wheat paste, and other assorted tools, 2:12 transforms mundane, trivial landscapes around us into art. Where a nondescript wall existed, now becomes a gateway to his imagination, a glimpse into his artistic expression.

Much of his inspiration comes through traveling, which has opened his eyes to the beauty and diversity of other cultures. His hope is to break up the monotony of everyday life for those that come across his paintings and to inspire others with his art just as the world has inspired him.
