keep on moving.

Keep on moving. some more things that come out of somewhere. I like the looks of them they seem to have a sorta superflat-ish feel to them, but abstract. I seem to need these energies to work on figurative things. It's hard tyo free up when there is distinct features needed. I wish i had paid attention to the drawing and painting classes.

The works thus far.

I am working towards something. I don't know what it is but its moving in an interesting direction, I'm not getting what is goign on but thats okay , for now but it gets to me always tentative.

I want to give a big hey and congrats to the "Ghetto Biannale" which will take place in Haiti. Karen Miranda Augustine will be there,a big congrats to her.

The greatest living black Canadian artist.

Well I think someone should claim the title. William .Pope.L laid claims to being the "friendliest black artist in America" I really like the title, it adds a certain something, Now i wonder do I have to copyright the title? that way there can be no fools trying to test my crown or is this way too controversial, after all I'm sure you know of others.I bet you can name more than a dozen,right?

If you think I'm fighting way over my weight,please let me know and explain who you think should hold that title. I am a benevolent dictator, after careful consideration I will hand over the title. In the mean while heres some more work and a warning to be on the look out for the ART/NOT ART, exhibition, coming to a street corner near you..

almost there!

I'm almost there, soon to finish my undergrad degree and then, back at it fir the MFA. after a break, I need a year or two of practice to see if it still sounds like a reasonable idea getting more credentials doesn't make me more credible, something I'm slowly finding out. in this last semester I took two studio classes that i should have taken in the first. painting( my first love) and video production, which on a good day is great but the software is a piece of work to wrap the head around but it's great, I feel ready to put all this stuff to good use stay tuned to this site for artist to talk about their work...

again the hommage to N.Lewis

acrylic 6'x4' "for Norman lewis"

this is an salute to Norman Lewis, abstract expressionist, one of the founders of the New York school. he was ignored for a long time.

thanks for a good year! the last 2010 was a real pain, but a nice self portrait came out of it. and a resolve to get moving and to get away from crazy makers.

things that will make me travel i want to go to this exhibit.

a look at the painting. " An unexamined life" acrylic on mirror 48"x30"

Always Moving Forward Curators Tour - May 29th, 2010

Toronto! I really enjoy the work of the photographers, lately I have been trying to locate photographs of black Canadians in the early years,its a tough slog, unlike the things you can see in the states. As Dr. Montague states it's about creating a contemporary reflection of black life. I like the vision.
