Got bored at work and decided to do a piece using the markers I had lying around my desk. This was done with marker with no pencil layout like I would normally do. Quick little test, haven’t used markers in some time. This took me about 30 mins or so. Closer to 40 to be safe. Hope you enjoy.

So yea I’ve been MIA. Been dealing with server issues and domain transfers. Working on the Table of Truth Podcast, finishing up my kid’s book, mapping out my plan for next year and the steps I need to accomplish them. I’ve been a bit overwhelmed. I’ve been neglecting this blog for quite some time. I can’t even say that will change anytime soon. Posts will continue to be sporadic. Do understand this when I come back full time it will be with a more defining style than i’ve been posting up.
This year has been mostly about experimentation and understanding my place as an artist. Grasping and taking hold of what I want to bring to the world through my art. I’m almost there. Almost. Thank you to everyone who’s come to this site and supported me when I was posting daily and when I was posting irregularly. Especially the few people, Jiggs wassup, that constantly stayed on me to post new work.
True transformation comes with trial and error, success and failure. The biggest thing I’ve learned about myself this year was I’m capable of many things, most importantly is discipline. I haven’t mastered it yet but at least now I have it. To some extent.
Above is a graphic I did for work. If the fashion gods have any mercy, it’ll be the last Affliction style tee I’ll ever have to design. But more than likely it will not, lol. I’ll post something else next week just keep an eye out for it.
I’m out and thanks for all the fish.

I’m currently working on a subway series of illustrations that show you a the world of commuting to work using Metropolitan Transit Authority system every morning. There is such a wide variety of people, cultures and freaks of nature that pop up in the early morning commute. Here are some clips of the sketches I’ve done for these pieces. This is not the entire series as there are more that I haven’t scanned yet. Keep a look out for more glimpses of this project in the near future.
I have this poem I wrote about waiting for my next girl friend to arrive into my life. Which is done and complete but the visual wasn’t and still isn’t. At the same time, I’ve come to grips with the fact that I’m lazy and have been really neglectful of my work, readers and fans. Here’s a little taste of what’s to come. I’m posting again later today with a list of the upcoming projects I’m working on so look out for that around 4pm today.

Somehow this turned out to be Kanye West Week with all these Kanyeezy posts going up and coming soon. This guy is possibly the only true personality we have in Hip-Hop who has some artistic credibility. I know that is a bit statement to make but beyond him I PERSONALLY feel most people who make music today isn’t to be great or exceptional at their craft but to get a buck out the end. So yes, I can say that Kanye seems to be a rare artist in Hip-hop.
Through his determination to be the best he takes risks and chances with his music and audience by doing what he thinks is best not what the latest trend is. He is loved and hated for this and this is why his music inspires me. He asks for forgiveness and not permission. Its a lesson myself and my fellow artist need to learn. I’m getting the lesson. More work to come.
