The return of Erykah Badu

its been like 4 yrs or so since ive really put together a piece of erykah badu
(you can find that piece here) ive done a few sketches here and there but
not any fully fleshed out pieces until this once right here

ive sat with the piece for about 7-8 months tinkering with it
tweaking it here and there. i had to let it go, i had to or i wouldve went crazy
artists are truly their own worst enemies lol

limited edition canvas prints will be available

stay tuned

Latest

quite a summer, im glad fall is approaching to mellow me out
heres my most recent commission  17x22

there's just something about green, it goes well with every skin tone..EVERY skin tone.
it just adds a certain vibrancy to the piece. Its my favorite color, i don't want to over use it though lol

Later.
