So here is the first thing I did out of art school. My buddy Cam Floyd left some nice 7 x 4 foot stretcher bars in the house, so I wrapped some pieces of Rives BFK around em and made this painting. The man and woman are meant to be male and female Flamenco dancers. The Flamenco dance is a style of music and dance associated with Spain although it is actually only native to the Andalusian gitanos (gypsies). But anyway the ladies always wear these big fancy dresses and someone is usually singin real loud and tearin it up on the guitar. All acrylic with charcoal drawing underneath.

This is another portrait I did for close friends of my family. Below is the full painting, and a picture of the woman whose portrait I did.

Senior Thesis

Nicki Minage

Snoop Dogg

Rihanna

Jamie Foxx

Lil Wayne

T Pain

Kanye

So this is my full senior thesis, hopefully someone out there likes this stuff. They are in the order that I did them, Kanye first Nicki last. For anyone who doesn't know Nicki Minage she is new and she is hot hot fire. At some point I'm def gunna paint Gucci Mane, and i think i'll paint Drake as well. So college is done, and now it's time to get REAL. Many thanks to everyone that has ever looked at my art.

So here is my snoop piece, second to last in my thesis series, once I'm done with Gucci Mane I'm gunna repost them all as a nice big chunk of hip-hop illustration. School is coming to a close, and I think it is about time. I decided to go with the Chinese dragon imagery mainly because I wanted to combine snoop with some sort of deity, particularly an ancient and mythical deity (and one that breathes smoke). The dogs are Chinese fighting dogs a.k.a Chow Chows and the symbol on snoop's forehead says "dog" in Chinese. Acrylic on paper.

This is actually how our country was founded. The British didn't stand a damn chance. Fantasy art assignment, super fun, acrylic, lemme know.

Here we go, I had to have a strong women in my series, and who is harder than Rihanna. It's up for debate, but she is all over the radio these days and I guess thats what matters to me. Acrylic, lil photoshop. Snoop is next, soon I'm dun through.
