20 months locs
Sunday, March 20, 2011
I celebrated my 20 month locs-versary yesterday. Time flies. I believe in my last locs posting I said I started using Dr Bonner's Castille soap. Well my friends I had to put it down in a heartbeat. It's no bueno for my scalp. Too harsh. I only shower with it. Now I'm using EO Rosemary and Mint products. So far so very nice and lovely. I really like it. I encourage everyone who's into organic products to check out EO brand. No complaints. I'm also using Infusium 23 leave in conditioner. Excellent excellent excellente. Infusium 23 has become my new best friend. It keeps my hair moist and soft. I love it.
don't mind my foolishness...
my studio. thought I'd add that in somwhere...
Well hope this inspires people to go on with their locs journey. Peace and Blessings!

"Someone Like You"-Adele
Monday, March 7, 2011
This song is so beautiful it makes me cry...
Adele is overall incredible. Not enough words to describe her talent...
I heard that you're settled down,
That you found a girl and you're married now,
I heard that your dreams came true,
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you,
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light,
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,
Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah,
You know how the time flies,
Only yesterday was the time of our lives,
We were born and raised in a summer haze,
Bound by the surprise of our glory days,
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,
Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Nothing compares,
No worries or cares,
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made,
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,

artwork in progress
So I decided to go back to using oil pastel. Here's a project that I'm working on inspired by Nicki Minaj. I'm not sure what to do with the background yet... Any thoughts or suggestions?
Throwback
Tuesday, February 22, 2011
I looked at other artists for inspiration and developed my own style, in my late teens early 20s. I fell madly in love with the arts of Frank Morrison, Maurice Evans, Tamara Natalie Madden, Larry Poncho Brown, Justin Bua, and Laurie Cooper. These artists really changed my life.
Here's a rendition that I did back in 2006 ("Air" by Maurice Evans) that I would like to share on my blog. It's one of my art pieces that I'm severely attached to...
I came a long way...
Art is...
"Art is the suitcase of history, carrying the essentials. Art is the life buoy of history. Art is seed, art is memory, art is vaccine."
— Yann Martel
19 months locs
I know I just posted my 18months but I'm currently on my 19th months locs monthiversary. I recently started washing my hair with Castille soap and wow! Believe the hype people because that soap is amazing. My scalps never felt so healthy and clean before. It's a beautiful thang. I still twist my hair with Honey and flaxseed and I've definitely recognized a lot of growth.
I can do a ponytail now
I have bangs too.
Well folks that's it for my 19 months locs...I can't believe it's going to be 2 years soon
*swoons*

Life of a temporarily-out-of-cash artist
Anyway!
Hello my dear friends hope all is well. Will start updating my blog more often again. I'm keeping this post short though because I've been very very sick lately and just took something for my sinus so it will be kicking in shortly.
So just wanted to show signe de vivre and I will be back with the latest.
Have a goodnight!!!
