I chose the name DeBoy creation because it describes my journey. I started out hustling selling drugs as a kid to survive back in Flint Michigan.... A DeBoy. When I say kid... I mean kid and when in say to survive I really mean just to have something to eat. Now! I use what I've been through and seen in between as inspiration and manifest it into a creation. Mainly I use what's in my mind and heart... but every now and then I use what's on my sleeves. I've talked to some of the team members of Advocate of Timeless Money and we share similar goals. I want to get my work out there and inspire the Youth. Show them that there are other ways to get paid and explore and utilize talents we may not even known we had until you end up with a life sentence like me. I have well over two hundred pieces and I can also DeBoy create upon request. With my style I can turn you thoughts into a masterpiece that will open minds. I want to use some of the proceeds from my artwork to help buy material for the young and inspiring artist who just may not have it in their budget and fund contest to get their minds going and show people it doesn't matter what age you are, or where you are, or even where you come from that if you put the work in things will eventually shake. Just never give up. This is me this is what I'm hope I can do for the remainder for the time I'm on earth.
