Lyrical Assault...

This particular piece was inspired by the song 75_Bars off the new album by the Legendary Roots Crew. Entitled "Rising Down" the album dropped today. Even though I am huge fan of them, I must admit I had not found out about Leonard "Hub" Hubbard stepping down as their lead bassist until AFTER I finished this piece…Shame on me.

I recommend picking this album up because the Roots never disappoint. Hell I called in late to work today just so I could go pick it early. Shhhhh….that’s our little secret.

Two-fer Special...

It has been a little while since my last post. I have been quite busy. Fear not though, because I have two posts condensed into one.

One thing that’s kept me busy is the piece I posted above. The story behind this is that I was given the opportunity to create an image for the cover of the upcoming album by The Blackhorse Project; headed by Mikeloliver and lead vocalist Miss Brooks. They specialize in authentic NYC Deep House Music. On Molaman Records, the Album is due to drop with cover image and all at the end of May so make sure you listen out.



Next order of fun is Chop Shop Shapes... This particular blog (that I contribute too on a regualr basis) is headed by Aaron Brewer of Brewtoons.com. The concept of this site is relatively simple idea, but oh so wonderful all at the same time. Each week or so Mr. Brewer posts a new shape and from there all who wish to contribute have to create an image (or more) involving that shape. My contribution for this week for this week is posted above. If you want to see the shape it is based on you best head on over. I promise it will be worth your time

The Results are In...

Recently I had submitted a piece for consideration for Beasts! Book 2, but unfortunately my piece was not chosen. But on the brighter side of things one of my old studio mates from school did so… Congrats Jen!! (Jennifer Tong).

The Second order of business is that my Prints page is finally up. There, you will be able to purchase quality reproductions of some of my work. I recommend checking back periodically because I will be adding new ones from time to time. So spread the word…

What Lies Beneath...

This piece came together as a result of a recent sit down I was able to have with an Art Director for a well known magazine. I would not go as far as mentioning that person's name but, I would like to thank that person for taking the time out to sit down and talk to me and give me some much needed feedback.

As you can see this particular piece is a response to the recent story revolving around Angelina Jolie and her non-revealing gown.

Pond Water...

My Illustration entitled "Pond Water" was recently published in the winter 2007 edition of CMYK magazine.If you come across a copy don't hesitate to pick it up.

Maracas Bay.

This piece was inspired by a recent trip to my native land of Trinidad and Tobago. One of the days down there we had taken a trip to one of its most popular beaches, Maracas Bay. The beach was almost empty that day and so relaxing. I wanted to convey that same feeling in the Illustration.

I just wanted to share this new image as well as letting you all know that prints of my work are available upon request. Soon I will have a section of my website up where you can purchase prints online. Prints will be individually signed and numbered. More information will be available soon, so keep checking back.

Mc Secret??

This new piece is a reaction to a recent article I had read concerning a well known Tex-Mex establishment. This particular restaurant is a place I used to frequent once a week until I read the news. I felt like a lover scorned, and I had a whole rant and rave prepared for any reader that happened to come across this blog. But...I managed to calm myself down. Instead, I will just provide these links which serve as better sources of information... enjoy
