Make Art. Die HAPPY.

My life right now sounds like an album collaboration between Kid Cudi, Grouper, Cocteau Twins, Beach House, and Tame Impala and I'm okay with that. ------- #art #artist #blackart #growth #reflection #selfexpression #colors #fun #progressnotperfection #digital #digitalart #supportblackart #dopeart #supportyafriends #mentalhealth #photoshop #gradient #celshade #cycles #dopeartwork

It's funny that the last time I posted was a week ago, though it feels like a month. I took the time to just be and exist and remove the pressure of needing to be productive all the time. I've also recently started understanding manifesting things and people into my life. I took L's so many times this summer(and even these past few days) that I almost feel numb to failure in a way.I've also been removing expectations from life and from people an now nothing really disappoints me,but merely exists as an obstacle to overcome or a catalyst to embrace. Recently I've been feeling like the worlds gonna end and whether that's true or not my motto has always been make art and die happy which I've learned are both difficult things to do....when consumed w/fear and overthinking.Classes start today and I want to mark today as the day I began to change and pursue all the shit I've been afraid to do in my life. I don't know the outcome of pursuing these things, but in sure I have a lot less weight on my shoulders and a deeper belief and understanding of myself. So by next year, on this day, I'm holding myself accountable and manifesting into my life: - A gallery show/ solo show -Opportunities beyond my grasp and friends much more talented and passionate than I am - 2-5 songs produced and written by myself - A goddamn car - My online store to be up and running - The courage to travel somewhere by myself - The confidence to fall into uncomfortability and be my truest self regardless of who is watching. These are all ideas and concepts that have given me so much fear and anxiety and at this point I'd rather die trying than die in fear. If you want to or you're willing, comment what you want manifested in your life below and take some steps to make it a reality. This might be the only time you can speak it into existence and I'll jump down anyone's throat if they try and invalidate or diminish your dreams and goals. I'm talented as fuck and it takes some time to believe that, but so are you. You are amazing ESPECIALLY on your worst days because you find meaning or you exist long enough to get through them. I hope all that you manifest come into fruition.

The Sinner( Colored). I couldn't settle on a color scheme for a jacket so I just made two. I'll probably change the color depending on the clothes and where the shadow is being casted.Enjoy! --------///////---------- #art #artist #original #kanye #theoldkanye #videogame #blackart #conceptart #blackartists #dopeartwork #colors #artistofcolor #suda51 #viewtiful #artistoninstagram

The Sinner. Another character concept for the not-yet-made-probably-not-gonna-be-released game:The Old Kanye. I love traditional work 10x more than my digital I just find it hard to transfer my work and color it. Gonna invest in a scanner and might take up Copic markers to handle the hassle.Enjoy! #art #artist #traditional #tok #kanye #viewtifuljoe #videogame #suda51 #blackart #blackart #conceptart #traditional #sketch #theoldkanye #ink #gameconcept #wip

Since it's the 10th anniversary of the Graduation Album, I guess now is a good a time as any to show one of the concepts I'd been thinking about/working on. It started from a conversation w/ some friends but the gist of it would basically be what would happen if the "Old Kanye" met the "New " Kanye. Aesthetically the game would be like if Viewtiful Joe met Afro Samurai, though the plot would probably be more similar to Dead Leaves(the movie) or Samurai Jack. It'd probably be produced by Suda51 .When I have the time I wanna etch out the art style and characters I have in mind but work and an unexpected flu has come over me at the time.Hope you enjoy! #Kanye #kanyetothe #art #artist #artistoninstagram #blackart #conceptart #blackartist #videogames #dopeart #dopeartwork #colors #music #kanyewest #pastelle

Attack On Tyler. • I'm gonna finish up the rest of this series using the paper cut-out style prolly next week. I'm really trying to push my art and creativity so I gotta go back and work on some new ways to tackle character designs. Imma still keep this one in my pocket just in case but I get bored doing the same thing for too long( Issa creative habit). Tag any pages or ppl who might like any of my art . Appreciate it & Enjoy! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #art #artist #aot #attackontitan #colors #flowerboy #tylerthecreator #golflefleur #blackart #blackartist #digital #digitalart #fun #selfexpression #fanart #fusion #dopeart #dopeartwork

My daily inspiration as of late is Goddard from Jimmy Neutron because he self-destructed but still found a way to put him back together. ----------------- Also these anxiety headaches are draining me, I need some new friends and new opportunities and new air and a new will to live lol. #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #color #selfexpression #healing #anxiety #progressnotperfection #blackart #blackartist #dopeart #supportblackart

Trying to get outta dis mental limbo, I'll be back on my grind soon. ---------------------------- #art #selfportrait #artist #blackart #color #selfexpression #blackartist #dopeart #dopeartwork #supportblackart #artistsoninstagram #healing #progress #progressnotperfection

L.U.V(Lil•Uzi•Vash) IS RAGE 2. -------------/////------------ I didn't even make the album connection when I first came up w/ the concept so shoutout to past me and maybe future me for trusting each other. Tried a simpler palette w/ some heavier shadows to make it look dynamic and used a perspective reference to enhance it. (I also gave him an Uzi because I wanted to and it'll probably be the only time it fits.)
