“My first introduction to Mr. Haywood’s art was in his classroom—a museum of culture, political commentary, and his artistic evolution over the years. During our time working together, I have seen Mr. Haywood work tirelessly to perfect his craft, experimenting with new techniques he gained from the countless hours before and after school spent participating in his master’s classes, watching and taking notes from YouTube videos, and implementing the advice of his mentors. I firmly believe he is primed and ready for the next level.
Mr. Haywood is uniquely gifted with creative vision and precision. At events where he is commissioned for live paintings, he is able to preserve moments in time at unimaginable speeds while including details that would go overlooked to the ordinary eye. Mr. Haywood immortalizes the culture of his hometown with an authenticity and reverence that I believe is missing from many of his contemporaries.”

“Haze is not only a gifted artist. He is a great teacher, and through my many years of working with him in various art fields, styles, and mediums, I have learned to be a better artist. With his background in art and teaching, naturally, he has a knack for helping simplify the concept of art into a feasible task, especially when it feels smothering. Haze not only makes art. You can feel it in all that he creates.”
-Oxygen Jones, Piercer/Artist
Haze is a very talented, dedicated & hard working artist whose paintings represent the culture and society in New Orleans which extend beyond, especially in his works focused on prominent musicians. His work teaching kids about art is amazing as well."
