What Going On?

What's going on folks?! Right now I am busy with school, writing papers, doing projects, studying, and much more. I'm working on the blog trying to make it look presentable, I have also been working on a banner for the blog. The banner will be something simple I have already sketched it out now I have to put it in the computer fix it up and it should be up by next week. Lastly I am trying to make it to The High Museum of Art sometime next week because the famous street artist KAWS will be in town. I have to attend this event and will take pictures to show you guys. So stay tuned for more. 

AFRO

This was a quick painting that I did a while ago back before I started this blog. The painting does not have a true meaning but it represents natural beauty. Most of the paintings I do have realistic people in them in their natural setting. This is just practice that kept me busy and kept my hands moving in order for me to advance my skills. I call this painting Afro and their are will be more to come so stay tuned for more.

Women In Art

My history professor showed us this at the beginning of class and sad this is the evolution of women that have been painted over the years. The video is called Women In Art, it showcases 500 different pieces of artwork with women in them. Watching this I was amazed at how the masters of the art did these pieces from skin tones all the way to the complex backgrounds. In this video you will see plenty of different style artworks from the Renaissance Age to the more Pop Art that we see common in our culture. I also have to commend the editor who pieced all these wonderful pieces of artwork together. You can tell this took time and effort because of how the changes flow together smoothly. I was deeply impressed and inspired after watching this from beginning to end as a true artist you will be amazed at what they did in those times. I'm not going to talk much more about I want you guys to check it out for yourself.

Little Black Book

This is something that every artist has or should have some call it a sketch book others their studies but I call it my little black book. Whatever you call it is a place where your imagination and your creativity runs free. In this blog I am going to draw something everyday to show you guys my progression and to further my skills as an artist.

My first drawing in my black book a teddy bear drug lord.

Yes I know these are some bad pictures but hey it is all I got for now so stay tune for more.

Whitney Houston R.I.P.


Wow we have lost someone special and her name is Whitney Houston. She had such a beautiful voice, she was multi talented, and her music was true art in its own right. Most people remember her as the drug addict but I will always remember my mom playing her music in the car on the way to school. Listening to her voice as it commanded attention and me as a young boy I just loved the catchy hook. Now listening to her music in present day it has a lot of meaning to it. I can relate to her music more now than when I was younger. Her songs were so up lifting, encouraging, and inspiring to all generations. So before you talk down on her ask yourself, am I perfect? If the answer is no then you shouldn't judge another person dead or alive. It is always sad to her people talk about how great they were when they are not around anymore but her music will live on forever. At the bottom of the post is one of my favorite songs from her titled ''How Will I Know" check it out for yourself. If I could talk to her now I would tell her THANK YOU. Thank you for all the music she has blessed us with and also thank God for letting us hear her voice. Rest in Peace Whitney Houston.

The gist of what's going on

Giving you guys the low down on what's to come and what is going on. At the moment I am designing the blog I am going to keep it simple so that means the background won't be complex I am trying to keep you guys attention on the artwork. Speaking of art there are going to be many forms of art such as graffiti, traditional, landscapes, and also written. I am trying to expand peoples vision or mind set of what true art is and it is all around us. Also I am going to showcase some of the music and movies that influence my artwork but this blog is not only going to be all about me. This blog will showcase some established art and also up and coming artist or some people that love art. I don't know where this blog is gonna go but for now it is all about fun and art. So to sum this all up it is about art, music, movies, and life the things I enjoy.

UNDER GOING CONSTRUCTION!!!
