Broadway is My Calling!

Not as a ACTOR OR DANCER, but as illustrator. I'm just testing the waters for the best in my career. I just did a poster concept for Savion Glover's Classic : Bring In 'Da NOISE, Bring In 'Da FUNK. Tap in the scene.

NYC.. The City Were Things Happen.

So, I've been out of LA for a full week to go out of my way with business and pleasure with the city that I was born in, New York, NY. Haven't been there in 4 years, so this was very exciting for me. I was ready to experience my city once again on my own as a true city GUY. Visited parts of artistic motives such as Brooklyn, SoHo, and yes even, Times Square. Also came to the reality of what if, this was my new venture of my career. I had a meeting with a very respected Art Agency, Lindgrensmith Rep. Had a very great meeting with the reps. They gave me very vital information on what to do next to get big job in the vast city. But, truly, I'm humbled and thankful for this trip, made me clarify alot for me as an establish artist. Professions can change quick. Well, I took some pictures of my stay out there. Also, thanks to some friends helping along the way. Loved the Street ART that was all around the city, especially on the roofs of the apartment. #GraffitiLife

Happy New Years everyone.. Been on vacation trying to relax and get my mind on other things for the new year.. I'm excited for the outcome that I'm reaching to thus far. BIG things are about to happen for me and I can't wait. But for the mean time I've been sketching and been inspired by a person. Got me motivated to sketch out more ideas for other paintings. Here's a mock up of one of my paintings to come. Simple Photoshop work before processing it onto wood with Acrylic. ENJOY this year.. I know I will.

Here's more sketches for the Tattoo series..

New Series in the works..

this is a continuous process of my series called Calm and Cool: the collection on Women and Tattoos.

Tattoos and Girls!

I've been out of the blogging scene for the moment. I've just got a job at Warner Bros working on a collaboration deal with the Consumer Products Department. I'm licensed to do most of the Looney Tunes and Tom N' Jerry art for all consumer good. I'm excited and blessed on this blessing. Before I got the job, I was working on a series of paintings of women on wood panel with Acrylics. I'm almost done with this first paint that I've been working on and off for the past couple of months.

I just did another single cover, YES! YES! It's was for a great friend of mine from Miami, Marcel Ledoux. He's a great vocalist and is making a come up in the music game. I was glad and humbled to work on this and others that are coming soon. His single is "Memories" and I think all of us that have been in a heavy, loving relationship in the past can relate to this song.

Sketches from my T.A. job.. workshop day.

Tattoos, Tattoos!!

So I had a the honor to design some of my art onto my boy, Omarion.. It was fun getting an idea for all of these. I did 3 designs, one that's Tribal/Military, second that's is a gun and third and final piece is a Rolex. He only got two of the designs for right now. Check it out.

The Awakening Artwork

Im excited to be able to work on such a project like this one. The mixtape, The Awakening by Omarion came about when I get a call to work on unique project such as this. The concept was to bring in a new sound of music for the R&B world.. Omarion want to revive the genre to a new level. So by willing to do so on his part he wanted me to go about on pushing my views on the subject. He showed me some of the sculptures of the Awakening in wish is the piece of Zeus coming out of the ground. I put in a my take of it and twisted it to a modern situation. He's on a major street in LA coming out of a building.

The cover was a collaboration with a photographer and I worked with the fonts and background. It has sort of a "Thiller" theme to it. The tracklist piece was done with Gouache and Photoshop. The cover was done with ink, pencil, and Photoshop as well. This was a great experience for me as well as for Omarion and the rest of the Starworld Family.

Ruby Sparks

Just love helping out up incoming talent in the scene. Here's my friend and DJ in the making Ruby Sparks. Great skills on the ones and twos.
