Alexandra Underwood

This is a piece I did of former america's next top model contestant and Wilhelminia model Alexandra Underwood, who is a plus size statuesque model and here there are two images I did with a 20 x 24 " paper with oil paint I did. She inspired me as an artist to do her images she was creative graceful and soulful and she did something and she connects very well on camera.

Getting ready to work on piece

Just today I have been working on new things like the time I was watching an epsiode of ANTM I call it America's next Top Waddle, I saw the nude photoshoot and I was inspired to work on the piece and it reminded me of a classic Michelangelo piece in photographic fashion there was this young lady name Alexandra Underwood, she is the
6 feet tall plus size model contestant on the show , she bared her soul with her accessorie which was a necklace in which she was trying to sell the piece. I personally love the picture the judges act so full of themselves, especially that new judge Andre Leon Talley, who is this 6'6" black huy who talks like he is from Britain and starts saying "Dreckitude" I am like What the fuck is that. Anyway I saw the nude photoshoots of these young ladies but ALexandra stands out for me and I am working on the piee on my canvas with oil on tempera. Give me one week to finish it off....
Here is a clip of what I am talking about BTW I love looking at beautiful women very classy and artistic may I say

Terry Illustration -finger tapping

I managed to capture an image of the legendary Chicago guitarist Terry Kath, who died tragically from an accidental self inflicted gunshot wound 32 years ago this month.This guy was the bomb and probably a better guitarist than Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton put together and he was so underrated as a guitarist and i needed to give Terry his recognition and the respected that he was never given. this is when he did his famous hammer on finger tapping technique something Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Joe Satriani, and others to name a few

Today I just finished working on te Carlos Santana painting which I did with charcoal and spray paint , it looks very hippir 1970's style, but has that
Guitar Hero pose that I dig. It was a piece that I had for quite a long time but I needed to finish it off. Sometimes I feel lazy about doing the pieces but my mind is telling me to do something I need your feedback friends.

A New Year and a New Day

This new year I will begin working on my new pieces that I would like to share
with you and I only have 100 days to go and I am on the spot. I have enjoyed
talking to my old friends about me and talking to them is great therapy.
I had mixed emotions about getting in touch with my pals but last year in March,
my sister's death from cancer made me realize to finally make peace with your past before one of us leaves the planet.

I am going to post new materials and older ones
A new job , a new beginning for me and I am ready to conquer the world and
I hope to write new stuff about me and make it into a book.
Make the best of it cause life is too short.
