Another sketch done today.
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!!!
New Painting-"Black Rose"
Saturday, January 22, 2011
I fell in love with my own painting. Is that legal? jk. I don't know why but I absolutely love it. It's not the best painting I've done in terms of technicality but I love all of its imperfections...

Taking a small blogging break
Wednesday, January 12, 2011
Allo my friends! I know long time no hear. Lo siento *tears*. I've been swamped. I got a new job so trying to settle in, and I still don't have a new computer. That's really the reason why I can't blog. I don't have a computer and it's really frustrating trying to blog through my phone thus I've decided to take a small blogging break until I can't get everything all together. In the meantime here's a link to a beautiful fashion blog that I found for you lovely fashionistas. Enjoy will be back soon!!!
I would so wear this...Holy divine

New Art Happy New Year
Happy New Year! I accomplished a lot during 2010 and for 2011 I'm keeping my resolution simple. To have more fun. I'll be keeping this post short because I'm using my sister's laptop (still saving for a new one) but I wanted to share with y'all my last piece for 2010. I literally finished this one in 5 hours on Dec 31st, 2010. Like I said, keeping this post short so please bless me with your comments and thoughts.
