THE DRAWING BOARD

My latest work, beginning a new meditative project that is not just going to be good for the creative soul, but for the psyche as well.  Lots of line work, and time consumption, but very relaxing.  Working on 3 of 30! 

Side eyeing the state of our country like....

I did a major clean of my art materials recently.  When you have three art bins filled with things, it can be very difficult to organize and see what you have available to you.  Found this very old set of watercolor pencils that was gifted to me when I was in high school! I’ve barely touched them in the past, but I reacquainted myself with them recently.

I realize it’s been quite some time since I’ve posted new work, and I have quite a few new ones to share! This one I did of Solange very shortly after her SNL performance at the end of 2016.  “A Seat at the Table” is such a brilliant and stunning album.  She looked just as stunning with her amazing natural hair crown, created by the very talented Shani Crowe! 

Make sure to download the app and purchase "Tales of the Underworld" before the event so you can read along and explore the art for yourself. I hope to see you there! 💛

Thank you so much for your message! I hope I’m not responding super late, as for some reason my inbox did not give me a notification.  But your kind words mean so much, THANK YOU for all your support, it means everything to me.  

She’s done! And for once I actually used a background.  

Almost done with this piece! I’m pretty excited with how it’s turning out.  Now if only I could think of a good background for her....

Challenging myself to work bigger, so I began a drawing on 19.5x20.5″ brown paper.  I subconsciously chose the most complicated hairstyle for such a big space, but it started off better than I expected.  

Day 2 with this lady.  I hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day weekend! Mine has been spent creating and barely leaving my house, just how I like it.  

When a quick morning sketch becomes a full on obsession.  I guess I’m not going to be done with her as quickly as I thought! 

August was such a hectic month for me.  I’ve been busy looking for a new job and I also traveled to NYC for my second Afropunk.  I came back to LA feeling ready to throw myself back into my art, fully inspired. My project list is only getting longer and I cannot wait to get started! 

I didnt have much time to draw these past two weeks, preparing for the art show.  Finally was able to spend some much needed quality time with my sketchbook today!

I’ve never spoken to people about my work before, because I have always been insecure about it in the past.  This year has been an amazing, and challenging growing experience for me.  I have grown so much artistically, creatively, and spiritually.  This is only the beginning for even better experiences and more challenges! But I will achieve everything I set my mind to, it is all tangible.  

Thank you, and I hope to see some of you there <3
