"Whenever I see a blank wall...I see an opportunity to communicate."
JT's work weaves together various elements, such as characters and phrases, into streamlined designs that represent the heartbeat of the urban community. Overlapping faces and figures within the illustrations are visual representations of people that he's interacted with. These conversations and interactions then become the compositions that signify the always transforming and growing human experience.
In his work, he takes the opportunity to add in phrases or words that have personal meanings, where one of his favorites is 'SUP', which stands for "Surviving Under Pressure." While creating public art and spending time in various locations, JT became aware of the fact that when individuals say "what's up" to each other, that this act basically becomes a narrative of what has ultimately helped us to survive. The idea of 'SUP' then begins to encompass the idea of what is to be human and how we survive that. He wants to take that embodiment of what "Surviving Under Pressure" means to people and give it life through art.
