Lowriders are cool. Period. I've wanted one ever since I was little. This is a piece I did over a couple of days. I kept playing with different compositions. For the curious, the letters were created in Illustrator. Enjoy!

OK,ok to date I think this is my biggest piece in terms of file size. I was hoping and praying it would save everytime I tried to save it. I've never been to Japan but have an affinity for the Japanese culture. I was inspired by a piece done by another designer/artist I know.

I'm rockin' some GoMedia elements here (trees in background and paint splatters) and Hydro74 flourishes in this one. This one took the longest because I was trying out many different compositions. I love how it turned out and hope you like it too.

The Aztec people looked to the stars for guidance. I wanted to portray that here. This was my first of three new pieces started (and finished) last weekend. It took a couple of hours to complete using my friends Illustrator and Photoshop. Hope you like it ya'll

whoo-hoo! I am extremely happy with this piece. Young, hip, exotic, and fresh were some of the things I was striving for. In my opinion, Kanye is an artist in the truest sense. This was the second piece I completed last weekend. There is a bit of an optical trick in this piece. If you look at the large version, the ornate tannish brown flourishes in the middle are a little out of focus and since it lays on top of the focused peacock....it looks almost like the ornate elements are jumping off the piece :)

I used some GoMedia elements here:

Light Blue rays -- from GoMedia's Linework pack
Paint Splatters
Blue horizontal lines near bottom -- from GoMedia's Linework pack
Reddish crest -- from GoMedia's crest pack

Thanks GoMedia!

It took a little longer then my Aztec Night piece and was completed using my dope friends ill and P-shop hahaha.....

Little known fact: Kanye West and I were born on the same exact day: June 8th 1977. How crazy is that!

My poster comp for the company Quiksilver. I went back and forth on this one trying to find the right composition. I wanted to convey the feeling of movement in the water. I'm extremely satisfied with this piece. Once again Ps and Ai are my friends.

Best viewed large.

Thanks everybody!
