Killah t-shirt design

Ghost is using my design on t-shirts to promote his charity, "Making Diabetes Ghost". I'm sure this will do wonders for my budding rap career!

Art Party!

Here are a few pictures from my first show at Eye Candy on Thurs. I must say, for my first show I was part of it, it couldn't have gone better. Surrounded by very talented artists, friends and family I felt truly lucky that night. With free beer from Stone Brewery and snacks donated by my mom, it didn't matter if you didn't care for the art work on the walls, because you were probably drunk by the end of the night. Thank you all who came out for support and a special thanks to anyone who bought a piece from me too. Can't wait to do it again.

It is my party, and I will cry if I want to.

Good news followers! I have a show this Thursday April 28th at Eye Candy Gallery in Dayton. Come and hob knob with the many famous people that are sure to attend. Bands, Beers, Babes and art will all be in one place. If you need more than that, then you're greedy. So put on your best hipster costume and come be pretentious. I promise it will be at least an ok time.

But I abstract!

It totally sucks to take pictures of paintings, especially abstract work. Everything ends up looking like an uninspired mess, when in fact, it's more of a beautiful mess...in real life. Out of the blue, my recent work has taken on heavy abstract tones and I'm rolling with it. Here is an older one that I still enjoy looking at, so it must not be that bad. Give me time 10 followers to figure out how to make them look nice, cuz I got a lot to share!

Oldies I thought I'd share.

Here are a couple pieces I've had on reserved for years now... WOW, time flies with no regard for my budding art career. I'm just now a starving artist, so time, slow down please so I can make on Interview magazine just once before I die.

Subroc

I did a portrait of one of my favorite hip hop producers. DJ Subroc, from the group KMD. He is a criminally underrated and unjustly forgotten beat miner. Died at 21 by getting hit by a car, it makes me sad to think of the all the music that was left in his soul. Check the link below to hear one ill song, KMD-Sweet Premium Wine.

Side note: I'm still trying to figure out the best way to photograph my large scale painting without them looking like blobs of nothing (they are close to that, I know, I know). I got a whole bunch of goodies to share, if I can just make em look ight.

redoing my portfolio is FUN!

Here are a few pics from when I redid my portfolio last week. It only took me 2o odd hours, but it was totally worth it. Now I don't have to be embarrassed whenever I need to show it. Go me! It's a hard sell though, running graphic design, fashion and fine arts all into one portable unit to show. Everything looks sweet cuz my folio is a double mounted beast.

kind face

never met him. Just drew him. I bet he'd have a story to tell though

post it note doodles (sorry work)

Just some little sketches I do to pass the time...Not sure if they are worth showing, so YOU BE THE JUDGE!

I don't usually do portraits, especially of people I view as personal heroes, but I really like the way this experiment turned out. This is a reinterpretion of a famous photo of the artist Jean Michel Basquiat. I think he would approve and I hope if he was still alive he'd feel I captured a little bit of his vibe.
