PROJECTS & PAINTINGS
My Timeless Masterpieces
Experience The Culture
As time progresses, my work grows and evolves into something bigger, more intriguing, and better. As an artist, there is no greater pleasure for me than finding genuine growth and improvement in my projects. I never went to Art school, so teaching myself new techniques and gaining new knowledge has been breathtaking for me. I am delighted to share all of my recent pieces with my critics, spectators, & collectors as they get to see firsthand my intrinsic details that are unique in this modernized art world. As I have grown and matured, so has my art. All of my artwork glows in the dark under UV fluorescent blacklight. Below are some of the pieces I recently created in my studio, Im sure you will enjoy viewing them as much as I loved creating them.

Custom Nike AF-1

Spray Paint on Sneakers
Custom Air Force 1s done by Rico. These were done with fluorescent UV spray paint. The sneaker culture has been so unfair & hyped up that Rico wanted to take it back to true sneaker-head days. Back when people bought a fresh pair of sneakers because they wanted to wear them, not buy & resell for quick money. So these pairs of sneakers pay homage to the true OGs. Who will buy a beautiful sneaker as such, like the customs Rico made & wear them. The more the collector wears them, the more scuffed, beat, & vintage they look, bringing out that true grit of being a sneaker head of wearing your heat in the street. That’s the true piece of Art.

The infamous Raekwon The Chef from hip-hop super group Wu-Tang Clan commissioned Rico for a custom 1of1 painting. The rapper wanted to highlight the essence of DJ, being a MC, & Graffiti which is pretty much the trifecta of Hip Hop.
