Originally from Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, located southwest of London, the Toronto-based artist began his artistic journey in tattooing and body piercing. His transition to painting, illustration, and political engagement coincided with the rise of Idle No More in 2012, an Indigenous-led grassroots movement against federal government policies diminishing the environmental rights and authority of Indigenous communities. His imagery appears on murals, billboards, posters, and even his own clothing lines.Jay S
