talk is cheap

TALK IS CHEAP is loud, raw, and always watching. It stares through you with that unhinged grin—part cartoon, part confession booth—blasting a neon warning straight from the void.

This original CLAW piece fuses graffiti edge with outsider art energy. A warped face stretches across a reclaimed cabinet door—a surface that had so many lives, opened and closed for a singular purpose. Now repurposed as a vessel for truth, it beams busted wisdom: “TALK IS CHEAP.” The colors scream while the cracks whisper. Every dent, scratch, and hole is left visible—this surface lived a life before the art even touched it.

From the layered Posca explosions to the embedded textures of time, this one’s got soul. A nasty 😷 “CLAW” tag pops in the lower right like a branding iron. And then there’s the floating blue “J” in the dark—ghost or clue, you decide.

This is a piece that hears your thoughts before you speak them. It’s funny. It’s unsettling. It’s unapologetic.
