The Future Has More Funk: ComplexCon 2026

October 3–4, I brought Modern Funk to the Los Angeles Convention Center for ComplexCon’s 10-year anniversary. The weekend brought together streetwear, sneakers, music, art, and the people shaping what comes next.

I wanted to bring my world into that room.

Hip-hop, fashion, graffiti, and Black culture have been part of my work from the beginning. Those influences show up in the colors I choose, how I stack forms, and the attitude of the pieces. ComplexCon gave me a chance to put that work in front of people who connect with those references, even if they’ve never thought about collecting glass or sculptural furniture.

Across the back wall, we put it plainly: THE FUTURE HAS MORE FUNK.

Inside the booth were glass sculptures, chairs, a side table, a full-length mirror, and Modern Funk jackets. I wanted people to see how the ideas move between materials. A form that starts in glass can become a patch on a jacket. The same color combinations can carry through a chair or a mirror. That’s what I’m interested in developing further.

And people got comfortable. They sat in the chairs, took photos, checked out the jackets, and spent time with the work. I love seeing that. You spend so much time making something in the studio, then someone sits down and brings a whole different energy to it.

The jackets were another way to bring people into Modern Funk. Sculptural forms became wearable details, with FUNK IS FORM across the back. I want to keep creating different ways for people to connect with what I make, whether that’s a jacket, an everyday object, or a piece of furniture.

Getting everything there was a lot. Painting pedestals, packing glass, moving furniture, setting up, breaking down. The handmade hustle includes all of it. These photos show what we were able to bring together.

Much love to everyone who stopped by, supported, or took a minute to talk. Shout out to Mad Keys and Daru Jones for picking up jackets.

I’ve been pushing further into furniture and lighting, and I want to keep giving myself room to explore. This booth was a look at that bigger vision: more color, more freedom, and more ways to bring Modern Funk into your life.
