Raise It Up!!! (Flyer Illustration and Design)
“Raise It Up” is one of my newest clients that are based here in Atlanta, GA. Good, good peoples. Straight up. Since i meet them, they have been a constant support and what they started is Community Crowdfunding. Just to get you familiar think… Kickstarter and Indiegogo. They are a national company that has built a base here in Atlanta. Great stuff too.
What they asked me to do was combine all the aspects of community crowdfunding into one image based on the concept of plant growing. To be successful you need ideas, passion, people, tools and nurturing (maybe more, HAAA!). So, I came up with this illustration and they loved it. Made a few corrections as you can see in the sketch process but not much. Can you say SCORE? FOOOSHHH!

Celebrating Juneteenth and Poor People’s Day 2012!!
For “Poor People’s Day this year, I was asked to join in and do some art work with the children of the community on June 16th, 2012. They brought the supplies and I brought some imagination. HAAAA! Check the info! FANGGG!!
Every year, Project South remembers and celebrates Juneteenth as a major membership gathering.

IXCHEL (Painting for Funklordz Anniversary)!
This was a painting I submitted to my brotha Zulu Quic for “The Funklordz Anniversary”. The Art show was curated by Dan The Man, an artist that is known for grandwonderful art as well as his infamous “Mano-A-Maon” Art shows. The theme was Mayan culture based and I chose to base mine on Ixchel. She is the Mayan Goddess of fertility as well as more. Peep this info from www.holisticnp.com:
Ixchel is the ancient Maya goddess of fertility & healing. Ix means goddess of the feminine. Chel means rainbow or light. In other words, she is the: Lady of the Rainbow, Goddess of the Rainbow and Lady of Sacred Light. She is always associated with bodies of water, lakes, streams, rivers and creeks. Anywhere you would be likely to see a rainbow.

As you can see, I dealt with the connections and misunderstandings between men and women. It has the baby confused. What we do affects more than we tend to know. Can’t be too selfish.
Love Taps (Mynes) – By Jerome Dickens & JoVonna Rodriguez!!
Another year and another cover. This is another book cover design for my peoples JoVonna Rodriguez. This time it is for a Collaborative effort from her and her other half, Jerome Dickens. Both are extremely grand talented writers and this book is Bangin’! Off top! I know a lot of you lovers out here will in fact love it. It’s a journey of their relationship and how it developed from an online meet to a living love over the course of a year +. It includes emails, letters, texts… you name it. Reminds me of those honest and innocent loves a lot of people forgot to have. I wanted to play off of that feeling. The design was inspired by the new direction the “Lyric Jones” project took me. This is the result. be on the look out for the book because it drops Valentines day. FOOSHHHHH!

Lyric Jones – Jones St.!!!
This is the latest Cd Cover Illustration, Design and Art Direction I have completed. The first this year actually. I spent countless hours on this joint because I was doing something different than all my other covers. Wanted to take it up a notch. You may say that it looks like all my other work but it isn’t. I tried a couple of new techniques that I wasn’t use to using in Illustrator as well as challenged myself drawing wise. I’m proud of the result. What do y’all think? FISKKKKKKOOO!

Senor Kaos – The Kaos Effect!!!
Round 3!!! Another Cd Cover illustration and Design I created for my young braddah Senor Kaos. This was in the works for a while and an unfortunate situation with my hardrive made it even longer. Yet and still it made it into existence. Some of my close associates argue that the first one I created was better but this final one here satisfied the client. A lot of time and effort goes into my work. It shows! FOOSHHHHHH!
