I’m so honored to be featured in @whitehotmagazine today with a beautifully written piece by the very eloquent @vittoriabenzine! Vittoria and I FaceTimed for an hour and talked about my life, career and art. This article reveals a lot about me and my past and it was honor to share it with such a wonderful listener and writer. Here’s a quote from the article- the rest is on the link in bio! • “The more that I've learned who I am, the more that I’ve found myself, the more it shows in my work and the more people like my work,” he continued. Now that he’s embraced his inner brightness, Naylor is harnessing that wattage to create upward spirals of dazzling alacrity. “Positivity is a result of optimism combined with hard work and gratitude,” he stated. Naylor’s work is pretty, but this doesn’t preclude him from grit or the same principles underpinning radical archetypes. If punk rock is truly the practice of everything anti-establishment, then fostering optimism in a culture of cynics is revolutionary. “I grew up in a place and a family and a culture that says wearing black is what bad people do, getting tattoos is what bad people do,” Naylor told me. “I have this fantasy of exemplifying happiness with this rock and roll attitude.” • Thank you Vittoria for this! I appreciate you! Thanks @whitehotmagazine! And thanks @girlseesart 🙌💞
