The Root of All Evil

*Early stage of a practice Digital Illustration representing the root of all evil (That Green paper everyone wants) 

We use something that's necessary for us to live [Trees] to make money that we spend on things we "think" we need to live.  Money truly is the root..be it evil or necessary.  I say to hell with money, save the trees. Money is fleeting as are most of the things we use it on.  What about the trees? Anyone?

Series "Dirty Rice"

Guess whose back! Just to let everyone know what's been going as far as my absence from the site.   Recently I've finally moved up to San Francisco to attend the Academy of Art University and I'm loving the school and city so far.  Luckily I was fortunate enough to have some great instructors from the start.  Between preparing for my move up here, and actually getting settled here, it's been damn near impossible to find any time to just get back to my place of continuous artwork and practice.  However, now that I've been here for a little bit I'm able to put over 100% focus on what it is I love.  I'll be posting pics and videos live from some my adventures in the big city soon so stay posted.  Here's a current piece I'm working on to start off a personal series titled "Dirty Rice" which will depict my interpretations of the way African Americans have had to continue in the struggle for equality, but more-so the way many African Americans have had to brush negativity and racism.  Often times the racism (similar to today) was very subtle but nonetheless very present and destructive.  As Blacks we've come a very long way but there is a past that our future youth will be ignorant of.  Taught, yes. But not by mouth of everyone.  Hope you enjoy it as it comes.
