Thoughts to the family of long time friend and collaborator Noah Davis on his passing this weekend.

We were lucky to know Noah for the past many years and to witness his amazing rise and success. His exhibition ‘Imitation of Wealth‘  is currently on display at MOCA.

Pictured at the HVW8 Gallery in Los Angeles during his 2010 exhibition ‘Look Mom, No Talent‘ with Ulysses Pizarro and Darnell Prince. The trio were collectively known as the Inner City Avant-Garde.

Noah was an amazing artist and soul. He will be dearly missed.
