About me:
I draw and design visuals for music labels, design logos, lettering, tagline copy, tooled improvised watercolors, shuffle ASCII ooperloopers, fold and glue "super origamic" characters, low grade site specific sculptures, licking beaters, build and play found instruments, improv video feeding, curating art + music, channeling in English and Japanese, teaching typography, finding rare OOP soundtracks, collecting fortune cookie messages. (if you got any crazy ones send a small jpeg file or just the text to fortunes@kiogriffith.com). thanks!

I'm currently working on a series of screen prints.

Kaha [the raven ]

The raven sat on top a pole.
Over looking standers, and scattered dancer.
Passing by with random chatter.
They think may be your looks don’t really matter.
I stand there glance from my stance.
I know he knows, that I know he knows.
His eyes look froze like a soulless soul.
On Princess Ann I stand.
Waiting for the bus to pass my way.
He looks and calls out Kahoo kaha
As he lift one wing and dance on the beam.
I do two steps like come tess me.
Now we both stand there eye to eye.
As I wait by the appointed spot.
The breeze is out and summers gone .
Why do you wait, jus fly along.
The leaves are falling.
To bare naked trees. No fly on food or bumble bee.
Just jet black birds with razor beaks that call" kaha" in Norfolk streets

" the phantom of the beat"


Wish On You
The day is new and the stars are bright, tho you cant see them cause itz not night.
I look day dream and wish on you. During none peak hours , hope i get through.
When the rest thinks your gone, I know itz not true. You forever shine . Forever new.

In the magicalities of a could,

Between the  probabilities of a would,

Beyond the trivialities of a should,

In these ungraspable  mysticalities

There lies a secret a passage…

To this extraordinary wood.

 

But for you, it unfolds easily and true

And the only thing you have to do

Is press play, and you’ll have a view.

Let us present a little comment,
That in this very particular moment,
Presents happiness for lack of rejection
That turned into invisible connection
Of ThiSpace and ThaTime friends
One so sturdy, that it never ends,
And a little video it sends...

Hello Kio,
Nice to meet you and thanks for accepting my request.
Your musical taste is very cool, but there are so many names I didn't know.
Cool, man.
And your abstract art is interesting, i felt something Japanese favor in them.

Best regards,
