Graphite on Wood
I’m getting back to wood… with such a canvas, I never feel done. My parents are fans of this. Always supportive, I think it lies within the underlying message, the subject matter. I have come to the realization that all the artist I look up to, I admire, I consider peers, they all do wondrous portraits and these illustrious illustrations of… white women. Yes they vary in size, style, and lore, but a lot of them are the same. Though beautiful, it’s hard to find ethnicity in the lot. Sad thing is it is up to the ethnics to make art with diversity and it should be a task of us all. I am taking that into consideration and doing art I like as opposed to what sells. these black faces have been everything to me and for me growing up. Not the faces on the piece in particular, but being black I have been surrounded by faces like these all my life. My art should reflect that and in this epiphany, I have realized that it will. Applying the old adage, do what you love, love what you do. Love you all man… really. Thank you and check it out.
Wow… look what I found.
Super old illustration I did. I have to say I was like 16… , about 6 years ago maybe. I was mad at a racist named I was called by a passer by in a Uhaul truck. I really couldn’t do much given the fact that they had wheels and I was walking home from school. Man was I pissed… but embarrassed and really didn’t say anything to anyone. The I told my dad and he lost it… This piece stems from that.
It’s call “The Black Disrespect”
I was perusing through some old stuff and saw this .psd file. So I though why not drop it on the old tumblr since I haven’t post anything art related in awhile. Goes to show you that emotion is one hell of a motivator.
I don’t like this piece… but wanted to show my friends before I scrapped it #art #personal #friends #girl #smile #digital #paint #photoshop #ethnic #dislike #wip #blend #model #girl #defcise #eh #whatever (Taken with Instagram)
I have a magazine coming soon, follow the tumblr.
I’m super excited about it to. While in school I created a magazine highlighting the talent my school had to offer in all the creative fields it offered. Well suffice it to say alot of people liked it, but one person loved it. With the ambitious frame of mind fueling our every move we’re now looking to make it a nationally offered magazine showcasing the talents of up and coming creatives all over.
The focus is to be a platform for new talent to get there work out to the masses. I wholeheartedly support this movement because I, myself am an up and comer and design is my life. If I could create the career of any of my peers, i have accomplished more than I ever set out to. So please support what is being done here because i would hate for you to miss out.

The beginning and the end of last night…
It was well if I do say so meself. I mean, we had a time t Vapianos and the is always ace. I had my usual Jack and coke and she donned a glass of orange lemonade. But she gambled on the idea of asking me to purchase her this alcoholic looking beverage if we ever ventured within those walls again… she won that bet. The walk after was even better, hard to be studdly stud when, for some unprecedented reason, there were cute kids EVERYWHERE! I gushed a little, this one little girl was well cute.
After I walked her home I found myself back on the computer as if it all were standard affair. She looked fit I just looked… But it was a good night.
I think i’m going to post more life photos…
otherwise I have this camera for no reason.

A practice session gone too far…
Progress…
With homework, finishing this will be slow moving. But I will finish mad soon!
Damn near 3am and this is what I am doing…
I have to be awake in two hours to take my mom to the metro… I figure i’ll just stay awake and work. Why not, right?
Took a detour from my last picture to go in on this one. It’s a zombie influenced piece o commemorate the return of my favorite show “The Walking Dead”
A little lost on colors though.
