Atlanta-based artist Dubelyoo has been applying his visual talents in wide variety of media - from illustration work for magazines like Complex and XXL to design work ranging from newspapers to corporate clients to running the Arts Beats + Lyrics festival at venues all across the country. Oh, and he happens make some time for painting, too. This weekend, his latest solo exhibition, a continuation of his Convert the Wack series, comes to a venue in Atlantic station. We caught up with him to find out a little more about the show.

What’s the inspiration behind the “Convert the Wack” series?

This show has a variety of inspirations. It is comprised of pieces that are urban themed mixed with some classical drawings and some more newer social commentary paintings. I started putting everything together for this show early this year.
