No updates for a while
I’m busy with some work on the side so there won’t be updates for a while. When the work is done I’ll put it up but that’ll probably be a few months down the road. If I get some more greeting card work I’ll put that up but like I said, it’ll be a while before you see anything new up here.

Super Mario Game Over
I just saw this video and it kind of reminded me of some of my Super Mario work.
By the way I am working on some stuff but I’ve become a slave to reference and finding a picuture of baggy jeans in the position I’m looking for is a pain in the ass.

Afraid to jump in the pool. It’s cold.
I really wish someone would throw me in because I want to get back to comics.

Observations
The ghetto, poverty, race, money, class, education, stereotypes, identity, brick buildings, grit and grime, immigration, scrubs, thugs, ect… Are things are constantly on my mind. I always feel like I gotta represent where I come from. It’s the type of thing you don’t see on TV except for maybe “The Wire”, but it’s not enough. I can’t stand hip-hop now a days because I can’t relate to it. There’s no mansions or fancy cars in my city. I felt like ranting after passing by MTV and seeing this
After sighing I changed the channel to Fuse and saw something that felt a little closer to home. I thought, “Well at least this is sorta ghetto, someone is somewhat representing”. To my surprise it’s the new Chili Peppers video. Now this video is still not real enough, the people still seem too stylish and fake, in the real ghettos, most people dress cheap and alike. Still, something seems wrong when a rock video is more real than a rap video. Maybe it’s just me. Oh, before anyone cries hypocrisy when they see some of my recent artworks. Let me just say they’re not my ideas. Take a look at my Union City illustration and my Batman comic pages to get a better idea of my vision. I hope to make better examples in the future. Keep looking out.
