I support the underground with all my heart -- so many talented artists and musicians out there that don't get enough credit. I know what that's like. I struggled as well with getting my art and name out there. The type of art I do, some people don't necessarily consider it "art." That's why I owe so much to Noa (groundUP) for giving me the opportunity to get my work seen. To think of where I started, and to know where I am now...crazy. People on this island wouldn't know my name if it wasn't for you and groundUP. I am FOREVER grateful.
And thanks to Mr. Green for lending me some tracks for my blog :) Check him out: myspace.com/greenhiphop.
Common "The Light"
Why helllooo world!
I've been so busy lately, and may I add, really unorganized. So unorganized that all these files are crowding my desktop! yikes! (I hate when that happens! I like keeping my desktop clear of crazy amounts of thumbnails) Anyways...my website here has been having major wardrobe malfunctions. If you've [unfortunately] seen it the past month or two, my layouts have changed at least 4 times. I don't know why...i'm very indecisive right now. But, looks like this new look will have to do. It's not done yet though - which is why all the links don't work :)
Anywho, I feel like i've been losing my touch as an "artist" recently. I'm always designing for others, and rarely for myself nowadays. But last night, I was in the mood to make a new vector piece. I've been rummaging through old backup discs recently and found an old mixed cd full of Common's instrumental tracks. And with that said, I was inspired to make this:
Started working on it around 12:30 am, finished at almost 3. So a total of almost 3 hours (not as long as others i've done). this type of art form takes a long time to do, a lot of clicking, staring at the screen, and sitting (I need a comfy chair!!) <--- ok so clicking, staring, and sitting doesn't sound difficult (lol) but vector art takes a whole lot of patience (just like painting, it takes a while to finish, but to see it all come together at the end, SO WORTH IT!) And plus, good, chill music always makes the process fly by quick:
"It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine."
