"Joy 2 The World" :is an acrylic painting completed on canvas (8*8). It is inspired by the mirages of daydreams that Griot was experiencing during this period of time. He was becoming more well-versed in musicology and audio engineering/production. Wavelengths were becoming more lucid and he was inspired to create this androgynous character that symbolizes the power of music and joy. The characters eyes have comic-style like beas shooting towards the heavens. It plays on the idea that most of Mr. X's curations come from a divine calling which transcends the physical realm; However, it also explains how the physical realm can be manipulated by our spirits if we just manifest. There is a ghost like figure that is created by the gap tooth in the figure's mouth which symbolizes the idea that our speech is a product of our spirit and often times our emotions are a mere periphery of the true depths of one's spirit. Ironically, our emotions consolidate a "personality" that can further classify a human into a certain archetype, usually pegged by that person's celestial sign or Zodiac.
