The Story
My name is Ray Boykins — also known as Raycasso. I’m a visual artist, designer, and creative entrepreneur based in Los Angeles. I run a brand called Pure Thought Production, where I merge art, fashion, and community — everything from custom streetwear and murals to school collaborations and public art projects. My creative journey started with painting and designing clothes out of my garage. Over time, that passion grew into something bigger — creating murals for schools, telling stories that reflect culture, positivity, and purpose. What inspires me most is seeing how art connects people. Whether it’s a student walking by a mural I painted, or someone putting on a Pure Thought hoodie — I want my work to remind people to ‘Be You, Not Them.’ Every piece I create comes from a place of truth, reflection, and resilience — representing real experiences, real growth, and pure thought.”
