  i’ve got nothing personal against Chris Brown. i used to enjoy his music when i was 14-15. i have a problem with men who beat women, make crappy music,  and the people who turn a blind eye to all of that.

  i drew this piece in response to the ridiculous amount of support that this guy has, particularly from the female teen demographic, despite having shown the most violent, demeaning, and downright disgusting behavior towards a woman. i drew this as a reminder to those who may have forgotten, and as a satire of how simply we forgive/forget. 

  it was also inspired by this article, which does a great job of citing the negative message all this sends:

  the first episode of “Adventure Time” that i ever watched was one entitled “It Came From The Nightosphere” starring Finn, Marceline, and her evil father. i thought it was hilarious, and it instantly turned me into a fan. since then, i’ve drawn little Adventure Time doodles, but none that were really much different from the original designs. today, while scrolling through Tumblr, i saw a neat picture of Marceline, and decided to try her out. it’s all pen/pencil, finished with digital colors.

  i wanted to take an ordinary photograph- in this case, the ubiquitous cell-phone self-shot, and incorporate fantasy elements into it, in order to transform it into something more surreal.
  thought it’s a failure in the likeness department, it was based on a photo of the lovely, talented, and inspiring Charmaine Olivia. whose artwork influenced the theme of this sketch.

   last night’s sketch, with some morning color practice.

  i thought about adding some cheesy caption like ”i love a man with brains,” but refrained.

  it wasn’t ‘til i was done that i realized they looked like She-Hulk and the Red Skull. despite the Marvel Zombies resemblance, i was inspired by classic horror on Netflix.

  pencil and digital.

  Ever since elementary school i knew he was gonna be an amazing artist. His talent exceeded my expectations.

  when i was learning to draw realistic faces, i used magazines for portrait practice. soon after, i turned to the internet for reference, this included the endless amount of self-photography of MySpace.
  my old friend Leszly photographed very well, and her bold features made her an ideal face to practice with, so she became one of the first people i ever dre successfully enough so that the drawing resembled the photo. although looking back, it wasn’t that great.

  posted these along Normandie yesterday. 
  
  the one to the right already had a 100.3 sticker on it, so the “POWER 105.9 : where hip hop died” fit right in.

  i had some free time and felt like drawing another nymph.

  even though it took under two hours to complete, i was more careful with this piece than i was with the last. in the other, i just let the pen roam, here, i drew each line individually, so that everything helped compose the final piece.  i also made it a point to draw the roots in curves as opposed to angles, like the branches. they’re also thicker, appearing healthier.

   i don’t know if i meant anything by that.
