Visual Illusion

I had to post this picture, because even I was stunned when I did this. I took this picture today actually, and its part of my Visual Form & Content project. The concept of the project is to take a picture of one object, in different location and tell a story. Well, my story for this picture is, "Money is an Illusion."

Cartoon Mania: Anadia Robs The Jewelry Store

This project was done last semester. It took me two weeks to make. The concept about this was to make a cartoon version of yourself, from a recent of yourself. Then you had to design custom background. I chose to do a jewelry store robbery scene. The background was actually easier than doing the cartoon me, because I had to match different colors to match my skin color. Overall it came out GREAT! Hard work tedious work, pays off!

The Ending

A Blast To the Past: Jessica Rabbit

This drawing was done a few years back, when they brought back out "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" for its 25th Anniversary. My mom had bought me the DVD and inside were pictures of the characters. So I was like hey, I can draw that too, so I did. This was the on of the outcomes. I even tried to sign her name but my cursive isn't so good lol. Kind of off balance but its still good.

A Blast To the Past: Friends Forever

This is one of my drawings from March 2007. I based this drawing on me and my best friend Matthew. This drawing is something like a video game of us. I was inspired by the character Sora from the video game Kingdom Hearts. You can see some of similarities in my drawing. The body scales are a little bit off, but I think I did pretty good drawing this for a beginner.

My Drawing "Gods For Life"

Okapi: Zebra or Giraffe?

This was my final project for my 2D Design class. For this project, we had to create a unified design composition based on a central theme of any living thing. In the this project, we had to include everything we learned from the beginning of the term. The project had to be in black and white, with a accent color. The theme I chose was Okapi, which is animal that lives in Africa rain forests. Most people mistaken Okapi for a Zebra because of their stripped legs, but actually, Okapi is a relative of the Giraffe. In my project I including icons, and symbols from the African tribes to make the project more relevant.

My Project

My Award

Because of my "Nina Simone Project" being entered in the school competition, I was juried in the "Nina Simone Competition." I was given an award for being accepted into the art competition and my work is going to be displayed in the school show gallery between March 2, 2010 to April 3, 2010. So if you're in the Atlanta Area, go check out my work at the Art Institute of Atlanta. GOD IS GOOD!

Instructions on: How To

This project was given to me a few weeks ago, and I finally finished it today. The project was to make a simple "How To" poster using less words as possible. The idea of the project was to make sure the pictures you make are clear enough to understand so that you wont use a lot of words. I chose to do "how to make lemonade iced tea" because thats my favorite drink. I had to draw sketches to show how I wanted to create, and it came out pretty good. The hardest part about this was trying to see how man steps did it actually take to make it, but overall process, it wasn't so bad.

Cartoon Mania: Mike B

This picture right here was actually done for fun for Mike B. We were talking and he was like he had this great idea for a cartoon image. He described what he want so I just sketch it out and took it to the computer and came up with this.

Drawing Kicks

This was one of my projects in my art class. You had to draw your favorite pair of shoes. So I decided to draw my favorite Converses. My teacher didn't want us to go really into extra tedious details, so he said make the sneaker nice but keep it simple.

These are my sneakers.


This is my drawing of them.

As the saying goes, "Art Imitates Life."
And as Alberto Lora says, "but good art creates life within itself :)"

Art Imitates Life

This one project was done last year at the end of November, beginning December. One of my best projects from this class. The project was based on shading (shadows and highlights). I don't really like to shade and I was always scared to but this class pushed that out of me. In this picture is my sidekick, usb, Chinese wallet, my chain from mt jeans, and my house keys. I put my foot in this project to show even though I was scared, I humbled up and let art take me with it.

Mother & Son

This is one of my latest project done. It's a two part project; first part done in graphite pencil, and the second part is done in ink. This picture was inspired by my mom and my little brother.

This one is made with graphite pencils.


This is made with ink. (Different patterns and textures were used to define the shadows)


A close up on the son's leg to show one of my textures which are numbers. (thanks to my mom and Ciara for calling out the numbers for it)

AUDIO MAJORS: A Family Begins

January 2010: Audio Majors was born. It was founded by Mike B who's a music producer and is one of my good friends from school. Along with him, his friend Melo who is also a music producer as well is the co-founded. As a production group, they needed an image to be known, and me being a graphic designer, I made them their Audio Majors Logo. Automatically I was added on to the team as their personal graphic designer. Last but not least, D.T. was added on board who's another friend of mines from school, which made Audio Majors complete!

"Its already been written n the history book. No way we can fail when we have support to fall on. Im being pushed by a lot of people so im driven no turning back ever." - Mike B







Us working.

Nina Simone: Art Competition

This project was based upon a singer named Nina Simone. My project had to be inspired by her lyrics in her song "Feeling Good". In the song, she sung about fish, birds, water, trees; nature basically. I've done mines on a fish, and I let the lyrics and the words flow with me for inspiration. Additional song inspiration came from a John Legend song that Mike B referenced me to. The funny thing about this project is that the time I made this, I was really mad and just put all my angry into this project. I never thought it would make it to the competition, but it did!

Allow me to reintroduce myself...
