ENHANCED

So I stumbled across this photographer Hank Willis Thomas and let me say, he's an inspiration I've really been getting into the blend of afro-centric art and western culture.  His photograph opened my mind to a new way to extend my black and white drawings her's my enhancement of my piece "Satisfaction".

WIP

I'm working on my design for the Pinchflat bike appreciation contest I wanted to do a design that would present the bike as iconic and beautiful much like Mother Africa. This is the vector work before I go in and edit color and texture any crits?

SPRING BREAK HIATUS IS OVER!

So it's pretty much official Spring Break is over and that final stretch is coming. I'm nervous/excited about it. I had some good and some bad over break, I figured I'd post my sketch for my Pinchflat competition entry. That'll be coming soon!

Incase you didn't notice..

The official logo to all my branding and what not I had to make it internet official.

ILLUSTRATIVE

Bringing more unseen work to the blogsite. This one was from a Illustration workshop project T design as you might have noticed.

CATCHIN UP YET AGAIN

I got a few fine art and Illustration pieces I figured I'd share. I finished this portrait for my drawing thesis It supposed to personify happiness in it's most raw and genuine form. I created one for myself and each of my roomates:) The rest are coming soon!

OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW

Since I'm re-branding once again, I'm adjusting my blog to match my BRAND (business cards, mailers, website, etc.) In commemoration of this special event I'm posting a dedication to the original "Darian's World" logo for the blog. This is actually the original sketch from my history notes lol. Enjoy!

JUST MESSIN

I'm playing with some color in photoshopon a sketch i made, I'm really digging the sketchy look of it right now wut do you think?

SKETCHING & SELF REFLECTING

So I was sketching last night and I believe I created a masterpiece lol. I'm gonna mess around with some photoshop stuff Adam Hughes style on this one n see how it turnes out:) oh and I figured I'd add these other sketches as well!

TRUCKING ON!

So with my new logo and whatnot the brand is going through yet again another change and I believe for the better. I'm tapping into my inner freshness, a little Kehinde Wiley in the mesh-up technique, but I'm definitely going for a more three dimensional look, I'm getting more and more fascinated with the baroque design with a blend of Layendecker in the exaggeration of the figure. I'll be posting my painting in this style soon! I also plan on gettting back to my weekly illustration! whether It's a character or a scene:)

The Resume!

It's important that potential employers get a chance to see my experience and abilities. Here's my official Resume as of now.
