20° to -20°

First couple pages of my sketchbook ...

Some sketches of people from i-D magazine that kept me entertained during the flight back...
Some J-Cole and a self-caricature to ease myself back into things...
Familiar sights from home :)...








Airport peeps...
My buddy Ben...
And Abe...

Beaches ...
Beauties and Booties...

Happy New Year first of all! First post of 2011. Sorry for not posting more often...Sorry for not keeping in touch with people from back home as much as I said I would, but it's taking my body and brain forever to ease back into things I got way too relaxed for my own good :)...ANYWAY, I'm going to force myself to upload at least once or twice a week to shake off the rust -Bear with me . Thanks again to anyone who passes to check this stuff out I'll be more on top of things I promise! More Ghana inspired art soon.Critiques are always welcome.Enjoy

The game has changed...


Felt bad about not posting in forever(having too much fun to draw right now :D)-This is my unfinished entry for the "Marvel Tron" competition held by satellite soda. You were supposed to draw a marvel character in the TRON universe, I picked Jubilee from the X-men-Watched the movie today(sick soundtrack by Daft Punk) and thought it'd be an appropriate post.Critiques are always welcome.Enjoy

Home For the Holidays


Sooo, if you haven't noticed the last few posts I've been ravin' about going back home to Ghana for the Christmas break I assure you this is the last you'll hear of it lol. Recently got an e-mail from my mum who reminded me of the time I was running after her in an over sized t-shirt (after she told me not to) and fell of my face scraping the skin off of my nose...While it scabbed over my nickname became "Rudolf" . I was probably between the ages of 9 and 10 - I used a picture of our living room back home.I thought it would be appropriate for the season :). I should really be working instead of just randomly drawing haha .Oh! and everyone should listen to J.Cole's "Friday Night Lights" it's dope! Anyway, Happy Holidays. Critiques are welcome .Enjoy

Nightmare before Christmas







Went to see Tim Burton Yesterday -He's a lot less quirky than I thought, it was cool. Here are a couple of sketches I did of him while he was answering questions ( i dunno why he came out so chubby haha didn't notice till later) oh, and a sketch of my buddy Freddy who was there too (http://www.freddycarrasco.com/) dope artist. The title of the post is more relevant to how I feel than the fact that it's a bunch of Tim Burton drawings lol .Enjoy
