Just over a week to go until the show! Stay tuned for more news!

"Evitan"

This past weekend at Harlem Stage, we were fortunate enough to see a couple of shows paying tribute to the legacy of rap group, A Tribe Called Quest. A 4-part series, it showcased Tribe's music and artists influenced by them. 

Included was a special set by "Evitan" ("Native" spelled backwards)  which consists of Dres of Black Sheep, Jarobi of A Tribe Called Quest and DJ Strike. Luckily, there was enough light where I could sketch their performance.

Afterwards, I introduced myself to Jarobi in the lobby, showed him my work, and then he introduced me to the rest of the group.

It was a surreal experience, as I told Dres: "My brother wouldn't believe it because he used to breakdance in the living room to your guys' tapes back in the day!"

Next stop: Merry Christmas!

Wishing you all safe and happy holidays and best wishes in the New Year!

We all have one...

That one relative that you were/are scared of...

The Little Red Hen

This illustration is based on the children's story, "The Little Red Hen." In it, the hen does all the work around the house while the other two are lazy and just sit around. I thought it'd be fun to put them in the fashion and settings of 1920's.

The Emperor's New Year...

New year, new changes--nothing out of this world or super drastic, just chipping away and aiming at progress...

This was inspired by the work of J.C. Leyendecker, Daniel Adel, and Peter de Seve.

Cheers!

Mo' March Birthdays


More of the folks, for their birthdays. Happy cake day. Indulge. Be young, have fun.

Stayin classy...



Tine's Christmas Gift: The cast of Anchorman (Ron Burgundy, Champ Kind, Brian Fantana, Brick Tamland and Lamp) painted on Nesting Dolls. Lots of fun to do...

LAC: Deadpool


Just a quick, fun project for LAC. This time around, it was to portray Deadpool. Respect to Mr. Norman Rockwell.

Europe, stop n' go.




Stop n sketch that is...

Blackstar

I've always wanted to create a San Francisco Fillmore-style poster for what I imagined would be the fictional reunion of Blackstar (Mos Def and Talib Kweli). Lucky enough, they really returned and we got a chance to see them. A few days before the concert, I got re-inspired to make this...

Hope you like it...

Rocky the Rhino

EDIT: Updated with ideation sketches











Toy project: design a plush. The inspiration for Rocky was my uncle who, when we were growing up, never really bought us toys in the "toy-ish" sense but got us useful things like backpacks and travel/exploration equipment--so more "Discovery Channel" than "Cartoon Network."

"Sofa 50/50"
