Corrupt Amerikka

This piece is about  the mis-justice that commonly occurs in our society today. The dark blue represents the oppression of the people. The red represents the mis-justice done onto them. The flag represents the very thing that holds us down.

Representation of Myself

I believe this represents me because i am a very laid-back, chill person. I edited the photo adding cool tones to emphasize the chill. I then added a outer glow effect to show how bright my outer shell is. It also gives the effect of a rough exterior and a soft interior which is how i see myself.

Favorite Artist: Fahamu Pecou

 Ive actually gotten a chance to meet fahamu pecou. He was a very cool person, very in touch with himself and where he comes from and i believe his art expresses that. I enjoy the graphic aspects of his work and really enjoyed the collection where he used gold leafing to accent the works. 

Clean Air

This project was based off a clean air t-shirt deign. To create this image i downloaded various brush sets including a water color brush set and a coffee stain brush set. I used a combination of each brush set, and previous brushes of clouds i had made to paint this abstract image of the earth. 

Cultural Diversity: Artist Statement

   I believe we can break the barrier of racism by ridding our society of social norms. If we look at the world colorblind we can come to the conclusion that there is only one race, the human race. In this image I tried to express how far we have come. We have escaped the darkness that is oppression and we are on our way to the light of freedom. The image still depicts we have not broken the barriers but shows we have come a long way in this endless fight to freedom.

Cultural Diversity

Amerikkkan Korruption

To create this image i found an image of former rapper Capital $teez, who is now deceased. Once i found this image i thought back to the name of one of his albums called Amerikkan Korruption. I then downloaded a crack-affect brush, lessened the contrast on the flag only, and painted over the flag to make it look broken/corrupted. I then used another form of the crack-affect brush around the edges of the flag to give it a darker affect. 

Diamonds

This image was created for a collage project. To create this i used the tool to trace the lines on a diamond. I copied the line structure two more times, changed the colors, and placed them on the outer edges of the original diamond, I then took various images and cut them to fit each section of the diamond. I did this for all three structures and filled the background with a burgundy color.
