Cost of Life is 20" x 28" mixed media painting on canvas by DB KA$H!
KA$H has spent the past two years manifesting what he loves + desires in life on canvas. Since becoming a father in 2021, those wants and manifestations have deepened. Layering materials such as spray paint, acrylic paint, sharpie, pastels, and prints, DB KA$H’s work comes to life in a vibrant and modern form.
“This is my way of manifesting. Rappers and poets, they say things with words of what they want in life. I’m not a very verbal person, I’m a private person. I don’t express myself through social media, words, or rapping. I manifest and express myself on canvas in this collection - it is a peek into my head & the manifestations of my mind.” - DB KA$H
