He began writing graffiti in 1992 and later earned a painting degree from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2004.

His studio practice fuses the energy of street art with the precision of traditional sign painting resulting in vivid layered canvases that echo Pop art comic books and urban signage.
Working with crisp illustration collage and bold color he slices and reassembles fragments of consumer culture skate graphics and advertising into portraits of the human condition. Pose explores themes of pain triumph joy fear love and loss inviting viewers to piece together meaning from the puzzle like surfaces. In 2013 he collaborated with fellow MSK artist Revok on the legendary Houston Bowery wall in New York and he has since painted large scale murals across Detroit Dubai and beyond. CNN named him one to watch in 2014 and his work continues to command attention for its technical mastery emotional immediacy and playful yet raw commentary on contemporary life.
