Go See EXODUS...

This was a piece I had recently put together in order to promote the upcoming play EXODUS. Which is part of the The New York International Fringe Festival . I was approached by the writer and given a synopsis of the production. From there I was off to the races.

I was able to put together a few work-ups that I felt best gave you the feel of the play, but did not totally give it away. Upon review... the second work up was chosen but they mentioned the colors were too harsh, and asked If I could tone them down.

Taking note of what was said, I moved onto the final.

If you are interested tickets and more information can be found are HERE.

Fun with office supplies, and brand new Illustrations...

Here is an image I had put together one day at my former place of employment. On one of my breaks I had started doodling with a BIC pen. Then came the highlighters and white out. This was really a lot of fun, and I really liked the outcome. And as you can see I had Transformers on the brain that day...



Also head on over to The COUP MAGAZINE, where three new illustrations of mine can be found. One was the Cover image for the magazine...as you can see above.

The Storyteller...

This time around I was inspired by the compiled works of the Hip Hop artist Lupe Fiasco. I remember when I was first introduced to his music my friend said “you have to listen to this guy... Each of his songs tells a story...They all have a beginning, middle, and end.” I eventually copped his first album Food and Liquor and instantly became a fan. Ever since, all of his albums (Mix tapes as well) have been on a regular rotation on my iPod. With this piece I tried to take elements from his music and try to create an interesting composition out of them. Hope you like.

Tipping the Issue...

I was recently comissioned by The Coup Magazine to do a lead in image for thier latest issue.

I was able to play with dimensions of the piece, hence the reason you see little variation between this sketch and the next.


Even though the Art editor liked this particular composition, she ultimately wanted something a little more simple but had a greater impact.


This is the work up of the final piece minus the font.


This is the final. Here your can see the entire idea realized. This was the first time I went the route of using font as part of my finished illustration. By introducing the font I was able to give the phrase "The Justice Issue" a double meaning.

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…
