Miscellaneous
Yo. I was messing around with some stencils and acrylic paint. Then there is a Bruce Lee portrait done in pencil with some blending action.

Covah Ups 2
Yo. I worked on the self portrait a bit more and I painted a couple more guns. I ended up using some cool color schemes for those. I also found an old small canvas behind the couch ha. It is the mountain/tree looking thing. Then there is that weird abstract piece. I feel like painting and stuff like this is good, but I want to mess around with some more mediums. Different types of markers or something. Maybe I just need to break more of my own rules. EVOLUTION!

Cover Ups
Here's a few sketchbook paintings done in acrylic and piled on thick and quick. Ahaha that sounds funny...Anyway, I tried to paint Rob Dyrdek and his dog, then I tried to paint myself. Then the last one...I believe that was a picture of Amy Winehouse on a horse or something. Sometimes I will only paint what I'm interested in, skateboarding, guns and girls and stuff. I'm not really into cars but then there are other things I like that I never thought of painting or I just don't have good references to use. That's why I need to find more reference sites and take more photos so I can learn how to get good shots. Whatever, rant rant rant...

Paintin' Pages
Yo, there is a pencil sketch I did. I was trying to get back to the way I used to do it. No guidelines, just draw a line and then see what it could be for a second, then finish the drawing. Before I went to the school I used to always draw whatever I thought of, but it was a symbolic style most of the time. So I guess it is good to be versatile at drawing realistically or cartoony or whatever. Anyway, I did a few Bruce Lee paintings in my sketchbook. Also, some made up face, and a crappy Andre the Giant sketch that I started and then didn't really feel like doing about 30 seconds later. Then I have another gun from a magazine. I feel like I learn a lot about what I draw if I am in the right mind state. Observing the way that muscles change in motion and how simple shapes can be used to make up anything, especially when it comes to the cars and guns. But these are also viable options for careers. Designing cars and guns, or cars with guns is useful to somebody. The military is always paying for killing gear. You would be like Iron Man. Haha alright this is way off topic. Peace.

Gangsta
Back To My Roots
You take a mental journey through the art world by studying the others from our world's past and modern age. You find techniques, inspiration, you perceive limits and... hopefully you obliterate them. Then it all comes full circle. You start to do what you did before, but with a new feeling. A sense that you have gone so far, you could not return if you wanted. Creativity and imagination brings responsibility that I never fully understood. We have the power to teach and the power to judge. The ability to create art is the ability to instill emotion and communicate an understanding to a person without needing to be physically present. Artists can affect history, the future, the past and time itself. Alright, I'm done trying to be philosophical.
There's a Hogarth study from a book I got recently. I want to brush up on my anatomy so I can do some original turnarounds in my free time. Then, I have been watching a lot of Samurai Champloo and getting way into hip-hop and graffiti and anime again. But I think 'speck' is pretty much taken on the internet, music world and such. So I have to think of a better, more original name that sums up who I am. So I'm back in the abyss of writing any word I think of. Looking for the one that feels right.
