From the ashes...

So I'm 20 minutes through the " Runaway" video and I can't even sit still . I ran to school and scanned in this drawing I did of Selita Ebanks as the "Pheonix" that I drew when I saw the first trailer ...If you haven't seen it. Watch it. Kanye's acting isn't my favourite part but the music and colours are mind BLASTING! lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7W0DMAx8FY&feature=player_embedded Enjoy. Critiques welcome.

Red.


Been a busy couple of weeks sorry for the lack of posts . Anyway , finished these today in between classes -An idea my little sister was talking to me about after seeing Rony Hotins posts (check the sidebar for his amazing art). I named the girl Colette cuz I daydreamed it being French and dark. Basically as the story goes on and she kills more and more people her hood/poncho gets stained with blood and she becomes known as "Red".Wolf is loosely based on my buddy Andre check out his stuff too!Critiques always welcome.Enjoy.

Line-ups, Caesars and fades

Been trying to grow a decent high-top for a bit- it's taking way longer than I thought but it's all good. i respect Barbers so much I've tried to line-up and shave my own head...Let's just say I rocked the bald look for a minute lol-The environment is dope too if you and ur barber are cool. Done tonight from a sketch I'd done earlier in the evening.To my Barbers at "Lloyd's" and my barber Earnest from Ghana. Critiques are welcome.Enjoy.

Hey Mama


Drawing I did of my mum(Neo Lerato Gariba) and I. She keeps guilting me about never finishing any paintings for her lol I always end up hating them half-way through! Anyway this is inspired by old pictures of her and I .Tried to make it look like a dream. I'm slowly trying to get used to using photoshop mostly using pictures along with drawings(the fabrics used on the dress and the blanket are SouthAfrican and Ghanaian :D) .Hopefully I'll start drawing more layouts and actually painting in photoshop. Hope u like it ma! Enjoy.Critiques welcome.
