New Work

Been gone for a minute, life has a way of overwhelming us at times

and takes us away from our passions.

I dont want that to happen to me though,

but slowly i feel like im being pulled in different

directions. But i still going to carve out time for my art

theres something therapeutic about painting and drawing

its like visual music...its hard to explain

i painted this Nicky Minaj a while ago

im going to go back and refine this portrait though

theres so much more i can do with this piece, i know it.

And this portrait i drew for my homie

i like drawing regular people, people i know

well i like drawing in general though

but more is on the way....

Week Four Erykah Badu

Mama's Gun....

*Inspired By "Green Eyes"

Week Three Rick Ross

I had alot of fun with this one

thought it would be pretty interesting

to add the champagne to the pic. week four is on the way...

Week Two- Amber Rose

Last week finished Amy Winehouse, thes week, Amber Rose.

i've trying my hand at secondary light a little bit

Im trying to create harmony between vibrant skin tones and backgrounds,

i dont really want the backgrounds to overpower the subject.

Color harmony can be crazy sometimes.

Anyways, week three portrait is on the way, the sketch is done!

Amy

I started this last Saturday.

RIP

From now on i will do a portrait a week

time to go hard or go home.

Lets go...

Week 1 Amy

Carmelo

This is a pic i did of Carmelo Anthony...glad homie is back home

im a nets fan but get those knicks back in good shape homie! lol

Hands down this is my favorite pic i love the detail of it....wait till you see my next few portraits...its time to R.I.P. the competition!!!

Bentley

Lately my art has been doing everything i want it to do. I just seems like its flowing the way it should, less errors more success. A Bentley that i was commissioned to do. I never really took the time to draw a vehicle, the fine detail was so time consuming but im glad i have it under my belt ive been stepping out of my confront zone with my art lately. I wouldnt mind having one of those bad boys though...in due time i suppose lol

Up

A recent piece

...

Out here on a mission and im all alone

far from where im going and im far from home

somehow i know im moving in the right direction

my mama always told i was gon' be special : )

the marathon continues...

melo....

figured id go back and work on that carmelo sketch

im trying to block my colors in better

after studying a few artists (Mike Thompson, Jason Seiler)

i have a looooong way to go

Oldie but goodie

Mixtape Cover i created over the summer for a client, It was done in about three days, considering that i work 2 jobs it came out ok. I definitely tip my hat to mixtape cover artists

its definitely not as easy as it looks, more on the way

but think about this....we only have 24 hrs in a day

subtract 8 for sleep

subtract 8 for work

subract 2-4 hours for whatever bs life throws at you

(car breaking down, cousins recital, etc, etc)

how many hours does that leave for us to follow our dreams?

yeah 24 hours is not enough

Juicy...

We're more detail oriented these days, theres alot of art being created

the creativity is at an all time high....

more to come

an early one

just getting started....

Sanaa

January has been on my most creative months EVER

Ive just been inspired, not by any particular person

but by myself, usually the winter months slow down my creativity

but the sketches ive been doing over the last few day have been

pretty good, the future is looking bright....
