I don't know how many times I've said this already, but Kanye has really inspired me.

Consenting Adults



When I was a kid, I was a big fan of comic books. I’ve always wanted to make my very own. I never actually succeeded in making that comic book. Not to mention that I gave up drawing and comic books, once I discovered underage parties and alcohol (that’s a whole other story). Anyway fast forward to present day, and I’ve finally made a life long dream come through…well partially anyway, since it’s not a comic book per se.

This flyer is a replica of an actual Romance comic book from the 50’s. I wanted to express Consenting Adults in a new way. Something that has never been done before in the Caribbean community. I mean what’s funnier than white characters taken from a previous time and place, having them speak a dialect, spoken by black people from a Caribbean country, merging the two together to create something completely new and fresh.

The ultimate goal with something like this, is to raise the bar for design / creativity in the Caribbean Community. Hopefully people will enjoy the flyer, and if it peeks their curiosity to actually come out to the event, then I’ve reached my goal. Hey…maybe they even keep the flyer as a souvenir.

The wording for the flyer was inspired  by a youtube video, of some puppets from Trinidad.

The flyer has been getting alot of love on facebook, nice.

Wayne and Nicki in Benzi World

I've been working on this image for two months, just tweeking it here and there, trying to get the lighting right. The idea is since Wayne and Nicki are like abstract artist in terms of content and appearance, I wanted to place them against a surreal abstract world, where the skies are green and the land mass is colorful blocks, with quirky little animals that populate it.

This is also part of a new hip hop series of images I'm putting together. Sometime next year I want to have a gallery show to display some of my work all centered around the hip hop culture, with prominent artist placed in surreal settings. Since I don't have access to shoot these celebrities myself, the final result and the timing of the show will be mainly based on the assumption that I will find enough interesting images to create enough pieces to fill a room. The other logistics will obviously have an affect...venue, time, cost etc. but I will remain hopeful...that I can make this project happen.

We Three Kings

Two out of the three pics that were used to create this flyer, came from pics taken with a crappy ass camera. If they all were highquality pics, it would have really added to the overall quality of the flyer. I really need to get my digital camera...fast.
