"Jus' a lil dude with a head full o' hair"





^To the right is THE ONLY barbershop I could find in Oakville that would cut my hair :D Shoutout to Urban Brbershop-I thought it was relevant considering the post

Working on a short film with some extremely talented people. Gonna be posting updates every now and then this is some of the stuff I've done to get a sense of the color scheme and the characters. I've been listening to "just a lil' dude" by Q-Tip :). As you could probably tell the story is about a little kid with a big afro -This is gonna be fun. Stay tuned.

Stay on your toes...









Couple of nights ago, I was with those Sketchy dudes I mentioned a while back : Freddy,Adam, Ollie & Michele -at Adam and Michele's shiny new apartment. And the night inevitably turned into what was probably the best art-jam session I've been a part of.These are the 20 minute drawings that came of it ;From the top : B-ball turtle, Mutated kids from the future, Steampunk dog pilot, Post apocalyptic Viking woman(I basically drew a dude with boobs ha!) ,Crazy Tentacle bitch, Samurai Fish-man & Biker croc. Fun times - It's always good to have people who keep you sharp and are willing to do stuff like this .
More of these soon, Enjoy!

The Joy

I love Curtis Mayfield's voice!Makes me wanna slow dance...I loosely based the couple on my parents . Last song off of the album ...Bonus Track #16 :') appropriately named "the Joy". I must say I had a lot of fun doing this one and for the colors I wanted I referenced my favourite music video "Got Til it's gone" by none other than Janet Jackson and Q-Tip...next I'm gonna put all the Watch The Throne art into a big post, so stay tuned and chill out to this:

Shoutout to my new cousin Harris, who was born this morning -I love you!Enjoy.

HEROES




Some process stuff. I never put up work in progress stuff but I figured I'd share some of it. Some Super hero drawings based on life drawings I did during the week didn't have a scanner so I decided I'd take pictures instead .
PS: the second dude is "the Black Star" Ghana's very own super hero ;D .Enjoy.
