His subjects are primarily portraits of famous musicians, poets, revolutionaries, and characters that have inspired him, and nowadays most of his painting is done live on stage with musical performers. He exclusively uses all recycled material for his canvases, utilizing found pieces of plywood, Masonite, old doors, etc. He sticks to common water-based house (as opposed to traditional oil-based) paints and inexpensive synthetic brushes instead of ones made using real animal hair. He also creates stencil designs and spray paints them on temporary walls, old palettes, poster boards, sidewalks, etc, which are removable.
