Musical kick!

I watched Aida last night at my friend's son's high school and it was great! Definitely inspired.
Speaking of musicals, "Chicago" is coming to Baltimore. Anyone want to go see it with me?
With that I'm going to post a drawing I did inspired by the sexy cigarette smoking ladies with raspy voices.

Snow day!

Hurrah! It's snow day!!! And guess what? I have ANOTHER snow day tomorrow!
With that said, so many sketches are being done and I will be completing a tattoo design for my friend S soon. Stay tuned. <3 p="">

Happy Snow Day y'all!

Audrey Hepburn from Funny Face

Michael's is having a contest!!! They're taking you to Paris if you win! The theme is "Springtime in Paris," and you can bake, draw, do floral arrangements, blah blah blah. Check out paris.michaels.com.

Anywho, I did an illustration of Audrey Hepburn from the movie "Funny Face." It's only appropriate to draw a character so in love with Paris for this submission. What do you think?

Website update!

Hello all!

Since last post, I have been directing a musical with the music teacher, painting and drawing more, and overall enjoying my life.
To show case that check out my updated website:

Happy November!

Hello.
Every entry is "whoa it's been a while" entry, so I'm just going to cut to the chase.

I'm officially moved in to a new apartment and I'm all on my own! It's beautiful and wonderful. My house is all decorated with Halloween decoration. I have everything, except for things to sit on. Including chairs and couches and cushions. But on the flip side, my housewarming party became a cocktail party where people had to keep standing, so it was great!

Happy Fall everyone. Stay warm!

"Laraba" gouache and pen.

Piece for Blooms of Nigeria, http://bloomsofnigeria.tumblr.com/

Beautiful project where female illustrators were names of the abducted girls from Nigeria to illustrate with a single flower.
I had "Laraba," which means "Wednesday daughter."
