From the vault...

This is the VERY FIRST Illustrator Portrait I've EVER made...
I remember it being an assignment for a class teaching me the tools of Adobe illustrator. I'm so glad to have gone cuz I was close to switching classes just so I can be in the same class with Danny LMAO. But I didn't. I stood with it and it totally paid off now 5 years later.


This was a mini assignment... I can't remember for who or what but this ended up being a wallpaper and background layer for Halloween of 2006 LOL.


The very multi-talented individual, Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria.
Met him twice for the last 2 yrs of New York Comic Con, LOL.


My last piece I ever presented for the Antagonist Art Movement back in 2007.
I called this one: Paris "Maneater" Hilton, nuff said!


Here's the first piece I've presented for Antagonist Art Movement back in February of 2007.
"Madonna: Plastic and Heels".
I took inspiration from her S&M video "HUMAN NATURE"

My "JAY" friends and buddies...

About 3yrs ago, I had designed a layout for my myspace profile using dedications to those whom I loved. By doing so, I illustrated portraits of my bestfriends (The "JAY" Friends) ::insider::, along with other close friends.
Check it out...

The pieces that started it all...

In May 2006 I had my very first official art show with my fellow illustration Graduates. Out of 7, 5 of them were selected to be part of the show...
So now, I present to you... my first set of art works!!!


MADONNA: Queen of Reinvention



ANDRE 3000



CELIA CRUZ



GWEN STEFANI: Artificial Sweetner



COLIN FARRELL

I'M BAAAAAAACK!!!!

So yes, it's been about... 5 months since my last entry! I hope this doesn't happen too frequently, LOL. A lot has been going on in the world lately. Some good, some not so good. But definitely one of the major highlights this year was Barack Obama becoming the first African American President! Other highlights... ECONOMY IS REALLY BAD!!!
So it's time we hit the streets of 42nd and 8th and sell yourself for a few hours or more LOL. Of course I was only kidding, however I do feel we gotta do what we can to earn extra money and survive this mess.
ANYWHO... ART... Yeah, I apologize for not uploading my pieces yet, but I plan to very soon... like sometime today or tomorrow. I got an art show coming up, so I gotta get this shit rollin' if I wanna get anywhere.

I gotta head to work now so, I'll be right back, I PROMISE!
