Kanye West

My girlfriend told me she wanted me to do more commercial artists. Kayne, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, etc. So I decided to do a Kanye piece. I think Kanye is a great artist. Love his instrumentals, and he has become a just as good as a producer as he his a rapper. I liked the way this turned out. I plan on breaking the "only paint underground rappers" mold. One painting at a time. lol. This was also featured in "You Know My Steez 2" Art Show

Kirk Smith X Sean Henry Photography/Sketches

My friend Kirk is a great photographer, and I asked if I could take some of his images and draw them in my way. He agreed, and I came up with these quick sketches. I think i'm going to paint them soon. I dig em. To see more of Kirks work, check out his blog here http://lostinthebadlands.tumblr.com/ Hes definitely a DOPE photographer

Yo! Buggin' Out!

I recently did a picture of the character "Buggin Out" from the Spike Lee movie, "Do The Right Thing" He was one of those characters in the movie that stood out. I thought it would be fun to draw and paint him. Alot of people seen it at "You Know My Steez" last week and liked it alot. Here is the clip that made me wanna do it, and here is the process I did in painting it.

Thanks you guys.

Born To Use Mics

I was Boarders last night, and they are closing down all across the country. I decided to stop in and see what they had left, the one near me shuts down in 5 days. I lucked up and found this book by Michael Eric Dyson, and its all about Nas's "ILLMATIC" CD. It was only $4.89 so I figured I mind as well go for it. So far its pretty good. I'm really interested how hes going to break down each track, and try and find a deeper meaning for all the songs.

Art Loop 9.9.11

After work my girlfriend and I decided to go downtown and check out the local art loop and support my friend Herman Vanderbrandt art show. He is a GREAT photographer. Its cool to finally see his work hung up in frames. After we left there, I met Tiera Brown, she is a painter and she does Excellent work as well. It was good night out on the town. Its good to see others work, def inspired me to paint.

Blogger app

I'm testing this new blogger app for the iPhone on my iPad 2. Just testing it out. So far it seems pretty good to blog on the go. Now they just need to create the iPad HD version. The image attached is a flyer I made for my friend Dre

Common - Ghetto Dreams feat. Nas (Official Video)

Common and Nas on the same track. ILL

Raekwon feat. Nas - Rich And Black (Official Music Video)

One of my favorite songs from Raekwon's "Shoalin Vs Wu-Tang" Album. Good to see him and Nas spitting bars back and forth. Kinda old video too, though I still think its dope.
