I can't go with the flow anymore. Being on other people's time, not speaking my mind, playing it safe, doing the "right" thing has left me unfulfilled,broke, with a weakened Will and most of all mentally frustrated with myself. I'm  an Alchemist for fucks sake. I'm not might to be fearful, complacent and angry with myself. 

My Nature is to be in charge, in or taking control of a situation, directing my energy, making quick decisions and creating my desires. Now, I know this because Ive been this before and the most destructive act i did was letting myself believe that someone else knew what was best for me and I should listen. Simply put I stopped being aggressive. 

 I wake at times just like now and have this fire in my stomach, my mind focused, and my will completely in control with my full spirit holding the wheel. And knowing I've programmed my mind along with the help of our society to try and surpass the energy….. i re-fucking-fuse to allow myself to get stagnant again! Its a dark place.

I'm a 27 year old, Black Man that is literally Great at EVERYTHING  I choose to do and will no long let any of my fears and ego based doubts hold me down. Just like when I'm on my bike throwing myself in a new for the first time. I remove all fear and worry from my being and get tunnel vision. Completely focused on my objective. And in this life my objective, is to reconnecting as many souls to this Earth as possible though whatever means necessary.

Time is an illusion, may you take control and grow alongside me. 

why art?

"I think a lot, I often find myself simply observing virtually everything around

me, especially when there are people around. I actually enjoy socializing with

people but what's gained from observing is a deeper understanding for the world

around me. Laws of nature, people’s behavioral patterns, the presence of God,

these things and more I've come to realize, observe and understand. Inevitably I

ask myself the same question, how do these observations relate to

Takarais Reshad Billups?

My life is a continuous experience. I see what comes in and what I called fourth

and create as endless opportunities to decade who I am and who I want to grow

into. Often what I experience affects my emotions, this is where my art comes in.

I would consider myself an eclectic artist; attaching to one style or medium isn’t

appealing to me. The purpose of my work is to express my perspective and to the

viewer get to simply THINK.

Thinking is creative; it opens doors in the mind allowing new information to

meet old information.

This is important to me because I sometimes use my emotions and what I think

about them when creating.

My art is meant to spread love, peace, awareness, and creativity also to state the

change I want to see in the world. The goal is to provide the viewer a change to

broaden their perspective by thinking about what they’re looking at and their

personal relation to it. Honestly I decided to save the World, I want to help

people grow to be the true them. My first and deepest emotion is always Love.

Realizing the Earth’s problems is bigger than me I sort out to do the next best

thing. Express my love for the world and for personal growth to the world in

hopes for a positive change.

Creating I use pens, pencils, paints, paper, and clay, mental, canvas anything I

INSPIRE TO GROW

with.

I consider every life that views and buys my artwork as a blessing and an

expansion of my Love.”
