Josephine

Been meaning to draw Josephine Baker for a while, ever since I saw her make an appearance in the begging of "Triplettes of Belleville ". I had had an image of her dancing in mind but when I Googled her I found a much more playful pose of her winking and shootin' smthn'. So here it is I'll for sure be drawing her more. Critiques are welcome. Enjoy.

MONSTER

I had a long day chillin' with my bro...I had a headache...Was right about to fall asleep when he calls me to tell me that Kanye, Jay-z,Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj were on a track , granted I had my reservations about Nicki's verse but the fact that I got out of bed , and did this shows u how HYPE i was lol. "Pink wig, Thick ass give em' whip lash!" lol Nicki Minaj is hot .Enjoy the song http://www.rap-up.com/2010/08/27/new-music-kanye-west-f-jay-z-rick-ross-nicki-minaj-bon-iver-monster/.

Earth

There need to be more dreadlocks in Avatar...watching the episodes with Jet and I'm diggin' his crew
Gonna finish uploading the rest of the Avatar fan art from my Jam for my nigga Kat .I'm gonna do em in order of the title sequence so, next will be "Fire" .
The girl on the bottom(with the bottom) in my mind, has the spunk and bending capacity of Toph, Sensuality of Katara but none of the whining and the sarcastic tone of Mai...I'm such a nerd for this show.Critiques are welcomed.Enjoy .
