In 2019, when personal family problems arose and left his family on the verge of homelessness, Sims continued to pursue his art, earning himself a spot in Steve Kaufman's American Pop Art Collective by the end of the year.From there, he went on to produce cover art for NugLife, Issa Gold, and Yung Simmie, and he had shows in Austin and Memphis.
