Ludacris X Andy Warhol

I made this using a digital drawing of rapper Ludacris that I have been working on for a few days. I originally did it in black and white, so I decided to arrange it in a colorful style similar to the famous Andy Warhol paintings.

Another Character of Me

I've been having fun doing this lately, so I decided to go ahead and post another version of a character I did of myself. I would also like to state, that when I do these, I do them at a fairly fast pace. Not because I'm in a rush, just because I feel things flow out more naturally if you just go with your instincts and draw/paint things with speed. Not to discredit any artist who takes their time and pays very close attention to detail (which I do when doing work for clients).

Haitian Organization for the Development of Haiti

Here are some t-shirt designs I did for a customer out in New York. They will be used to be printed on t-shirts and sold to raise money to construct a cement wall to help contain the overflow of water that runs through a town in Haiti that he grew up in.

Also, here are some sampled I had done for him early into the project just to show him a few different affects that were possible.

Character of ME

An image I did last night messing around with with the pen tool. I think it came out pretty nice, even though I made myself look kind of old, haha.

No...You're Not Having Deja Vu

Yes this IS another Jessica Alba image AND another "rainbow" type effect. What can I say? When I get bored at work, this is what ends up happening. I'm just trying to master this type of effect. Nothing wrong with that right? I just know girls will like this kind of stuff, and it's my way of sayin "hey, i can do stuff for you all too" lol

.....and no, I'm not infatuated with Jessica Alba. She just seems to have alot of good quality pictures floating around the internet.

Messing Around With Some Text Effects

With these images below I was just testing out a "glass" and "bead" effect. Both made from scratch. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! As always, click the images to enlarge them.
