Ever since I could remember, I have always wanted to do a contemporary version of the Last Supper with myself and closest friends. I mean, I’ve been thinking of doing this since elementary/middle school. Might still do it one day. I have a good amount of friends to fill the table lol. I’ve wondered also as to why I’m so fixated on painting/drawing this image. Is it because I have some sort of Messiah complex maybe? Lol I mean my nickname is Black Jesus lol (that’s such an oxymoron).
A commission piece I did for a friend. Done in Illustrator.

Here’s a photo of me and a piece of mine that was selected for the 16th Annual CityWide Exhibition. Real proud of this because it’s technically my first show (hopefully it won’t be the last).
Happy 45th birthday to one of our favorite heroes, Phil LaMarr, who has played many of our favorite heroes, like Static, John Stewart, Steel, Black Vulcan, Black Panther, Colossus, Aquaman, Gambit, and the samurai the locals called “Jack.”
He voiced way too many of my childhood heroes. He’s like a male Cree Summer!

Confessions of a Designer - Quotes from the world of design (by Anneke Short )
All of these.
Might I add two of my personal faves?
“What. Pay you for a simple illustration? Can’t you do that, like, in between your other drawings?”
- Fuck you?
“I have a friend who has a friend who knows someone who would do this for free, you know?”
- Then let that person do it for you because I definitely won’t.
SO TRUE! I gonna go cry now…
But I may disagree with you guys, I do sit around & draw all day heh, somehow every designer, visual artists, and people in art colleges get really offended at the question “AH, SO, YOU DRAW RIGHT!?”. I can’t get offended! That’s exactly what I do and like to do.
YET, it’s not the only thing I’m capable, as we all know and feel :P~ …. But I don’t get offended lol *simple minded*”Shit people say to artists.”

1941 Newsreel. Surrealist artist Salvador Dali designs and hosts a party held in the Bali Room of the Hotel Del Monte, Monterey, California. The event was titled Night in a Surrealist Forest and it was a fund raiser to help European artists displaced by the war.
I would have liked to have attended this dinner party. I like how Bob Hope is like the only one dressed “normal” in this.
Bill Withers - “Ain’t No Sunshine”
That drummer a little too happy. I think I know where she gone.
