Since choosing to focus on exhibiting primarily through social media I have exhibited in major galleries such as Pallant House Gallery, been shortlisted for art prizes including the New Light Art Award, Saatchi Showdown Drawing Prize, The Celeste Art Prize and the Outside In National Art Prize, as well as had a painting unveiled in The House of Commons. Now owners of my art included 2 golden globe winners, Cultural Attachés, a gold medal Olympian, Sir Ian Mckellen, the author and actor Stephen Fry and the billionaire fashion designer Giorgio Armani. My portrait of Tom Daley (2014) went viral and for a brief period was the most talked about image on the internet. It featured in TIME.com, The Independent, BuzzFeed, and even caught the attention of Ellen DeGeneres whose article on it was shared over 100,000 times within 2 days of being posted. More recently my portrait of Caitlyn Jenner (2015) made news both nationally and internationally. In the first 24 hours alone it was seen by over 1,000,000 people and appeared in Cosmopolitan, The Hollywood Reporter and MTV. In one week it was seen by more people than visit the MOMA in 3 years. My portrait of Donald Trump (2016) became one of the most viral images of the American Election featuring on the front cover of Newspapers both in the US and across Europe. Without a single gallery exhibiting them these 3 images combined have been seen by tens of millions of people. I have used my platform to protest injustices in gender, sexuality, race as well as multiple other socio-political issues. My art has granted me the oppertunity to speak before MPs, Law Makers as well as the TIMEs 100, in order to change minds and help make our world a better place.

My wife and I became foster parents in the Fall of 2015. We adopted a four-year-old African American girl in June of 2017. Since that time, I have made it my lives work to educate people about the foster care system in Texas. There is an ongoing need for foster parents who are able to care for children of all ages. As the parent of an adoptee, I have learned how adverse childhood experiences impact neurological development. These changes can cause maladaptive behaviors that make parenting a challenge at times. It is critical for all parents and teachers who interact with children living with trauma to understand their condition so they can respond with compassion.

Augustus V. (1992-Current) was born in Watts, California, to Los Angeles native parents, in the midst of the "92" Watts Riots, was sent to live with his uncle in Rome, Italy by the age of 4 for a better environment, and returned to America in 2003. For seven years he taught poetry and spirituality to fellow students and students of neighboring schools in the Los Angeles area. Months before his 18th birthday, he moved to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to attend a Bible School in hopes of becoming a minister to excel his work, but "someone" had different plans for him. Instead of starting a ministry behind the pulpit, Augustus would visit people in need of assistance and did what he could to help (mostly advice) As time went by, Augustus started to notice the results people gained, so this inspired Augustus to write once more. Augustus featured at every "open mic" poetry venue he could find until the state of Oklahoma was no longer a task to the young poet. So he was once more, drawn back to the sunny State of California where he would do charity work and discover what issues needed close attention in his area. Eventually, he realized that these issues were not just in his area, but nationwide, so decided to write his first book, "The Bad Boy". Now, He runs an organization based on dealing with common issues through literature, features on well-renowned book sites like Barnes & Noble's, Amazon, Audible, iTunes, etc. and has given full access to a free library on his own site, that he claims will soon be in the thousands. One may not be superstitious, but considering that Augustus was born on the same day that Caesar Augustus died (August 19) this might be the continuation of a great Empire.

Life is rough. But that’s kind of the point. Think of your favorite book or film. What do they all have in common? Struggle. In fact, conflict is one of the core tenets of writing. Without it, there simply is no story. My name is Theodore “Thor” Uram, and boy have I got a story for you…
