Virginia State Exhibition!

My roomate (Stanley Rayfield) and I along with fellow artists Danny Robbins, and Neal Iwan have a show coming up at Virginia State University in Petersburg, Virginia. Opening night is October, 17 beginning at 7:00 p.m. If your anywhere in the area come by and check it out!

80's Baby!

So, the first piece was about the 80's and certain trends and fashions making a comeback still working with this technique. The other two are quick sketches, practicing inking. Comments, criticism, everything is welcome. Thanks for checking in out..That's all for now!

Some progress

A quick post of a portrait of my lovely mother, gotta couple more things to do to it, the final will be posted soon, and a few sketches. That's it for now!..

Fallen Soldiers & few sketches

Ahh, so this past weekend both Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes passed away.  So I figured I'd do a little something to commemorate them both.  I did a sketch of Bernie Mac and a quick painting of Isaac Hayes...two great men, R.I.P.  I need to get a better picture of the Isaac Hayes piece.  I've also been working on some bigger paintings, so more to come soon.  That's it for now!

Academy Assignment & Sketches

Ahhhh, back from the Academy, what a journey!  Words can't describe the experience.  I will post everything done from the Academy once I find a large enough scanner, but in the mean time I've posted our Rolling Stone assignment from visiting artists/instructors Robin Eley and Scott Anderson.  The letter I drew was "F", so I chose to do the group the Fugees.  I've included all the process work: thumbnails, sketches, and final drawing.  I enjoyed this assignment tremendously.  Finally, in celebration of the new Batman movie I posted a quick sketch from the sketchbook of my favorite childhood hero and television show growing up.  Yes, the POW! Batman.  Can't beat that, haha.  Well that's all for now!

Academy Figures

Here are some of the figure drawings we've been doing at the academy.  This technique all the instructors have showed us is pretty dope.  All of these range from 5-20 min. and the last one was done with my right hand.  I think I'm starting to grasp the idea of how these pastels work and I'm definitely having a blast here.
