1. Home Sweet Home (026)
I used a photo of the view of my back yard as I was looking through the window one day. As I was sketching out the concept, started to notice different faces appearing through the artwork. I decided to make them come to life! This piece assists me with traveling back in time to when my family and I first moved in our apartment in Bronzeville in 2005. looking back, 18 years later, I had to say goodbye to my childhood home!
2. Why?!
Going into the pandemic, I was very lost as to what life had to offer for me after college. Being stuck at home due to a global pandemic, I became lost in my negative thoughts! This illustration highlights a few of the questions and statements that wondered through my head. At the end of the day, I know I'm not the only one who's felt this way.

5. Peezy (2022)
It all started off with some random sketching at work... which then turned to a guys walking around with money in a duffle bag. With that much money, you can't do nothing but smile! This man is just living life, not letting his surroundings stop him from doing so. I'm just manifesting my future with making a fortune from my artwork one day. I finished this piece in my best friend's car, as we were parked infant of our apartments. As I finished off the piece with a pink overlay, Nick commented, "Aw you snapped with the PEEZY." He decided to refer to the pink as peezy! he's always been one to switch up his jargon. therefore, Peezy was born! Everything is easy peezy!
6. D.O.
To be honest, I'm not to sure what my approach was with this piece, but I am amazed with my the texture I added. In certain parts of the illustration, I can see some pretzels. How about you?
