New Work

2011-10-30T18:58:00.005-04:00

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....

2011-08-21T23:01:00.003-04:00

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

2011-08-14T18:52:00.006-04:00

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

2011-08-07T17:31:00.002-04:00

Bentley

2011-04-21T15:56:00.003-04:00

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

2011-02-15T19:11:00.002-05:00

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

2011-02-15T17:26:00.002-05:00

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...

2011-02-03T17:54:00.003-05:00

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

January has been on my most creative months EVER

Progress

We drop bombs

2010-10-26T11:21:00.004-04:00

Been busy doing commisioned artwork for a few people

i may post some of it, this was a piece i actually conceptualized and

started back in July, i got sidetracked and did alot of outside work

before finally getting back to it, its 22 x 28 inches, i thought he'd be

an interesting person to draw with all the tats and everything

i'll probably go back and do some things to it, before i really decide its done

2010-09-08T21:15:00.001-04:00

Never forget the people that supported you from day one...

Work....

2010-08-24T06:15:00.003-04:00

A good friend from High School asked me "Kyle, why haven't you drawn a picture of me?"
I didnt really have an answer lol alot of people ask me for portraits but i move on my own clock
i figured id get started on it and its turning into my favorite piece, i guess drawing people you're actually connected with comes out better because theres a personal connection with the piece, did a mixtape cover for DJ 31 Degreez i didnt really feel like posting it lol maybe tomorrow, I need to get back to the art, i do my best work from 12pm-7am lol back to work...

Persistence II

2010-07-26T18:50:00.003-04:00

Something done recently, Kobe didn't become a great basketball player sitting around and

complaining, he practiced and was persistent.

I heard a line in a rap song that inspired me throughout the creation of this piece

"Take the First step that was Dr Kings advice/

going no days of im'a practice EVERY NIGHT.."

[Dom Kennedy "Locals Only]

I believe in myself so i wont stop

check Dom Kennedy's music out too he's pretty dope btw

Persistence

2010-06-08T17:53:00.002-04:00

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not, nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not, unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not, the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

- Calvin Coolidge

think about it....

I'm Beaming

2010-05-04T00:12:00.002-04:00

They said my future was dark,

You see me now

just look around

IM BEAMING.... (c) Lupe Fiasco "Im beaming"

so on saturday i became alumni of the

Prestigious Florida A&M University

its been a long time coming, i've had alot of setbacks over the

years but i finally made it. I think about the people who came

in with me that didnt make it and i'm truly blessed

Its not over though, its just beginning

because i know i can light up the world i've just got to

find the plug stay tuned.....

something new

2010-01-25T17:12:00.004-05:00

its been a loong time but i feel like im trying to improve with each picture i do, there are so many talented people out there that inspire me...

here's another portrait i just completed of my
secret crush (lol) Chrisette Michelle, one thing i've always thought that
she had very vivid, and youthful eyes and i'm a sucker for bright eyes

one thing that i've noticed about drawing and painting is that its the subtle
things that really make a picture stand out i've been working on my
fine details i hope you can really see the difference in my work....

Chris Breezy

2009-10-06T16:30:00.002-04:00

Honestly i dont know how i feel about the fiasco that transpired between him and her...we werent there so we dont really know what transpired. We all have made mistakes, its sad that we as people are so unforgiving, i wish both of them the best in their careers, they're both so talented.

Anyways i've been awol for a good reason, i wasnt feeling any of my pics after my Rihanna one, i've been drawing but the finished product wasnt to my liking. So i took some time off (actually i lost my wacom pen lol) and just studied alot of other ppls art work and looked at the detail they went into im trying to get more technical so to speak with my work. Hope yall enjoy

2009-05-18T01:47:00.002-04:00

Wow, 2009 has been a tough year for both Rihanna and Chris Breezy, I wish them both the best of luck because this is a trying time for both of them. People have to remember that they are regular people who just happen to be stars, so this constant scrutiny has to probably be overwheming...But anywho, rihanna has had so many looks over these few years that i had to choose an image that i felt best captured her.

Im not sure if i REALLY captured her like i wanted to, im still unsatisfied with this one i may need to go back in and redefine her eyes...

Kanyeezy

2009-05-15T12:49:00.001-04:00

This is a lil pic i did of Mr West, its been a looooong time since i've done anything was pretty burnt out from school and work and life in general but here you go....

In My Mind

2009-03-10T21:43:00.002-04:00

lately i've been jumping from one project to the next maybe i have severe ADD...i dunno but here's what i've been working on lately

Universal Mind Control

2009-03-08T15:32:00.002-04:00

This was done a while ago for my packaging design class. We had to create an Album Cover along with a booklet for any album of our choice...i chose Common's Universal Mind Control Album. I love how Red, Black, and Grey go together they kinda give off a "cyborg" color feel and since this album had more of an electronic feel to it i decided to go with those colors...i may redo it green and black...who knows?

Work in Progress

2009-02-27T19:30:00.001-05:00
