UncuttArt is more than an artist — he is a living movement. For nearly a decade, his work has appeared everywhere and nowhere all at once, whispered about in cities across the world. From the streets of New York to the walls of Miami, Los Angeles, D.C., Vegas, Philly, and Atlanta, Uncutt’s public art has spoken to millions — often without anyone knowing the name behind the message.

That message? Protect Yo Heart.

Born from a verse in Proverbs 4:23, Protect Yo Heart began as three words painted quietly on sidewalks, walls, and hidden corners of the city. But like all timeless art, it spread — igniting a worldwide movement of healing, mindfulness, and empowerment. Celebrities like Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Miranda Lambert, and Jamie Foxx joined the chorus, but at its core, the movement has always belonged to the people.

LOVE MORE THAN EVER

is a small guerrilla street art movement that is attempting to shift the paradigm from Hate/Bigotry to Love/Acceptance. Love is the single strongest force in the universe. It transcends time, space, and matter. And it will save this world. There is no room for hate. Only love. Let's stand up, together, against the hate that is happening every day in America. Against what becomes a little more normal and a little less shocking. Protest peacefully but loudly, as our constitutional rights allow us to do so. You are legitimate and your voices matter. We started our movement to remind you to be proud that you have more love to give than most people could comprehend and to be thankful for the love you receive. We must spread love and kindness, we must protect and speak out and fight against every discriminatory act committed... all in the name of LOVE.
