Some people would consider important work to be that piece that makes that one defining statement. The crowd goes wild, you end up with a loft apartment in some city with a too high cost of living. All of those things would be great but...

"A wise woman wishes to be no one's enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone's victim." - Maya Angelou This is one of the first pieces I began for my most recent show "Wait, Let me Delineate". 23x23 on panel ...
This piece started out as a quick project to do for a live painting session I did at Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment. It evolved into a much bigger undertaking and the challenge has been fun. I started out with a photoshoot with a friend...
Pharoahe Monch is one of my favorite artists and this album just adds to my admiration and appreciation for what he brings to the universe. This album is very personal, the production is great and of course it's Pharoahe so the lyricism is amazing as...
When I'm not painting, which is 80% of the time, I try to find time to do some photography. I actually was doing photography before I started taking painting seriously. Photography has helped me with the color choice and compositions I create when painting. Anywho, here...
Sometimes as an artist you see someone and you know you have to paint them. That’s what happened here, she’s beautiful and I’ve been wanting to paint someone with darker skin for awhile now...
"Ray gun" art print of an original painting from my show entitled "Wait Let Me Delineate" 12x16. I wanted to combine the elegance of an old pirate gun with the awesomeness that is a ray gun. I had fun doing this piece, figuring out how...
Alright so I've been thinking way to hard about what I should call my show (March 7th), so after harassing a few choice friends about it I decided instead of trying to be all mystical and deep and clever I'd just call it something else...
Parenting is all about the long game. It’s important to teach kids about the negative and positive things in this world. Balance in all things. I truly fear for my son more than I’d like to admit. It’s more important than ever to give your...
Ok so Ab-soul is the most recent additions to my list of favorite rappers. He's 1/4 of Black Hippy (Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul) and an artist on the label TDE (Top Dawg Entertainment) based in California. In his music he strays far from the...
ATLien I've been drawing inspiration and knowledge from this man for years and years. He was one of the first people that came to mind when I was planning this series. Andre 3000 was probably one of the first people that stood out to me that went against the...
The Dread Pirate Robert of Rap I have known of Jean Grae for a couple of years and I've always admired and respected her talents. It wasn't until in 2012, however, when I came across an interview with her and I was instantly intrigued not just by her...
I usually try to finish a painting over a 3 week period. I realized I need deadlines or else I'll either slack off or I'll over analyze a piece and never complete it. I randomly came across the model I used for this piece on...
I hate to do it but I need to make some room so I added a bunch of work to the shop at great prices. Everything from polar bears, sharks, fish to tribal scifi radiant looking things lol. Check it out // ...
If you ever felt like sleeping in, like you couldn't achieve something, like it was too much effort to get out of bed and go to the bathroom . . . . ok well maybe not so much the last one . . . ....
I painted this almost 2 years ago. I have this thing about not liking my work after I've had it for awhile and the urge to paint over things becomes very strong. I have painted over many many old pieces that I disliked for different...
This painting was inspired by the joy you feel that someone was there in a hard time in your life, forgiveness of people you love and redemption for mistakes made (Mary Magdalene). Purchase prints...
I've had this subject on my mind for the past couple of weeks. There are so many things in life and chances I don't take out of fear. I've given it too much power, it exists too keep you alive but you shouldn't use it as...
Well hello there, So I decided instead of waiting for the next opportunity to do a show I’d create my own. I missed the challenge to meet a deadline and having a set goal. If you checked out my last show online you’ll notice I included lyrics from musical artists that...
