Back in 2009 the NAACP held a symbolic rally to bury the “N-Word” in an effort to bring about the end of its use. I’m not sure if the purpose was to dissuade Blacks from using it, or if it was meant to affect the entire nation. There was much discussion about the rally, with [...]

In light of all the ugliness that has circulated throughout our country in months leading up to the election as well as the hate that has spewed as a result, I am inspired to share this piece titled “Are You Listening?” So many people who are outputting this negative energy, are self proclaimed Christians.

I saw this bumper sticker while driving and it disturbed me. The fallacy of this comment is a prime representation of the false doctrine so many religious leaders are spoon feeding to their congregations. God is Pro-Choice and Pro-Life.

When I did this picture, I was going through a major change in my life. I was smoking alot, drinking alot, and reading the Bible every chance I got. Many people may feel that that in itself is a major contradiction, smoking, drinking, and Bible-reading. But I don’t. I believe that whenever you want to [...]

Blood Money.  . . Life is about choices. That is a recurring theme in many of my pieces. This painting is the story of “A Day in the Life of Johnny Hustle”, an ex-con trying to live life the right way, attempting to be a law-abiding citizen. But he just can’t make the ends meet. [...]
