"Self Portrait XIII: Denial of Self", Digital Painting, 2008
Ok so I'm pretty busy with college classes but I managed to get this semi interesting self portrait done anyway. Drawing class is going well but it's mostly basics to the extreme so I don't have any real work to show from that right now.
Digging the lyrics of Seattle Hip-Hop Group Blue Scholars:
"While the people sleep I'ma speak till they wake.
Beats. Rhymes and life. Each time I write the fire ignites I light the sky There's an infinite inkwell high above the city Dip the pen steadily Sing the melody." -from The Inkwell
"Fifty-thousand deep And it sounds like thunder When our feet pound streets ... They call this a riot? I call it an uprising." -from 50k Deep "And my people building monuments to weather the flood I'ma leave how I came, screaming covered in blood Died once, born twice Both times we knuckled up, alongside our people We gonna struggle with love Struggle with love Struggle with love" -from Opening Salvo
"I spark a fire for the cold in the dark Peace and war both pumping soul in my heart And though they can't keep what they stole from the art And they love to see beef because it throws us apart
More fire for the people More jobs for the people And more music for the people More books for the people More schools for the people More love for the people More love for the people More love for the people" -from Fire for the People Also starting Drawing 100 and I'm loving it! I'm expected some great work to come out of this and my skills to improve drastically.
