We had the good fortune of connecting with Ty Hawthorne and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ty, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
Being around the people I care about and love makes me happy. There are lots of great things about this life but that’s the “it” factor for me.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
It’s was extremely difficult to get to the point where I am today. A massive amount of practice, trial and error, failure, and most importantly re attempting. Do not give up under any circumstances. Yeah, even if there’s five dollars in your pocket; where there is a will there is a way. Most of the time, if you have an idea, be prepared for people who lack vision to project their limitations on you. It is detrimental to ignore it for real. I’m excited to collaborate with other creatives in the area as well as vend at various events around the Atlanta area. What sets me apart from others is my style. I love to use lots of color, depict pop icons and music legends, and create conversation pieces. Sine of Times ™️ Art aims to continue to raise frequencies and provide “feel good” art and music.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Beetle Cat provides a cool relaxed vibe with optional outdoor seating. The drinks were great and the oysters were super fresh!

San Pancho in Alpharetta has tasty tacos and a whole host of other Mexican dishes. The horchata is never too sweet. They also have a bar of hot and flavorful topping including salsas and pickled onions.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d have to shout out my whole city, Philly, PA. That’s where my roots are. The number of people, organizations, etc who have had an impact on my life is tremendous. That’s why this one goes out to the city. My family/friends, teachers, instructors, mentors, and everyday folk make the whole thing worth living.
