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

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!
