Pretty Girl Makes Pretty Portrait

This here is some portrait art I did a few years ago, I like it a lot, and a viewer can really feel the warmth this figure(a pretty girl) gives off. Her friendly smile exudes joy and happiness...it really communicates a friendly atmosphere. This portrait came about because of my being taken by the beauty of this young woman. Her face just said draw me...draw me. SO I DID! And the rest is history. I hope ya'll enjoy looking at it as much as I do. And remember, I can produce a portrait of you and/or your animal(s) too, just email me or call(1-561-740-7209).

America, Halloween Is Coming!

Time for the ghouls, the goblins(esp. the little goblins), the witches and the rest to have some fun. Yes, Halloween can be quite the joyous occasion. I can remember trolling around the neighborhood streets with my friends searching for that golden treasure - Halloween candy - the stuff that makes Halloween such a special day for children. Yeah, those were the days!

Also, those were the early years when I didn’t have a care for the world; all was good, play, eat...then play some more. In those days one can really enjoy the holidays to their fullest - even Halloween - the strangest holiday of all. But now that I’m older, more mature, tackling the world, Halloween isn't the big show it used to be. It now, at times, reminds me of the horrific, and scary times we all face in this nation. People, Halloween seems to remind me of the terrifying, gloomy economy we Americans find ourselves in. Things are real scary right about now, the witches and ghouls are having their way with the American economy. And that fact tries to frighten the mess out of me.


Look at this: “Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson are struggling mightily to stabilize credit markets...” I read this somewhere recently. Ah man, ain’t that a terrifying bit of news? The monsters are winning folks...better go to plan B...Halloween has moved out of the virtual realm. We need change and change SOON - this country is in shambles... See what I had to say about all of this chaos months ago: Federal Reserve Chairman, Mr. Bernanke, On US Economy. Halloween lasting this long? Please!~!!!

Alright, not the one to scare the kids without a solution. Here is a solution to help us through these dark times, so we can enjoy this Halloween, and even use it for personal development and self-growth: The Halloween Method. We have to grow up and face the ambassordores of doom with the light of HOPE. Yes, be positive fellow Americans, it will help us through these tough times.

So, did I mess up Halloween for ya? Well, I hope I made it more thrilling, I brought out the underlying thoughts we all are thinking these days. I just wanted to bring attention to how subtle thoughts can be while still having force enough to negatively impact us. Go out everyone and enjoy Halloween!!

What A Martial Artist: Bruce Lee

This was one tough homie, I mean he could jab, he could punch, he could kick, and he could use them nunchakus like they were an extension of his body. This man was a one man army...one opf the best martial artist the world will ever see. Bruce Lee was a wonder to behold, his martial art skills were legendary and he was definitely a super dedicated student of the Far Eastern philosophy.

Bruce Lee is the the person that hearlded in the then “new” chinese, asian methods of fighting and combat. Mr. Lee had all of us howling and mimicking the fighters from the Far East...and I was one of them. When I was a little guy growing up in the “hood”, me and most of my buddies were wild about this guy from China named Bruce Lee. This entertaining martial art expert was some entertainer - we felt our manhood when we saw Bruce Lee in one of his movies...his fighting was so unique..."he seems so real"...we would say, “Bruce Lee is one of us, he don’t take no mess...he’s just like us”. We use to make nunchakus out of used, old broomsticks(a new one would have been preferred but momma-sensei wasn't having that, hah...haaa...). Hey...don’t discard them old, wornout brooms....I might want to make another pair of nunchakus. Bruce Lee and his martial art friends would be proud.

A lot of you may see Bruce in a not so kind light. “Wasn’t he dangerous?" "Who could want to praise a warmonger, a violent person?" Alright, I will give you that. But do remember that martial art and martial art followers mainly persue the fighting discipline not as an offensive strategy but as a means to avoid or combat aggression. Bruce Lee was a strong advocate of this usage of kung-fu and the other forms of asian fighting. He was real martial artist and a nice man to boot.

Like I say, Bruce Lee was one exciting cat and deserves all the accolades we and the rest of the world can give his memory. I for one will always miss the guy who’s influence possessed me to the point where I was cutting and chopping up my mother’s broomsticks...man...this Bruce Lee must’ve had “it”. Yes, he did.

Make Room For Positive Thinking

As you know the negative is always around, always on the prowl, always at the door - it seems to be adept at attacking us when we least expect it. The world of darkness, with its croonies just loves bringing us down, spoiling our days...sucking out all the light and joy we have in our lives. They’re just a gloomy bunch, and letting them hang-out with you will surely be a bad, bad decision - no good will come from having this group around.

But, hey, there is hope for us...we can do things to keep this gang from approaching us...we can fight back. Positive thinking, yeah I know, you heard all this before but really, it does work; the results can be surprising. Think about it, maybe we are allowing Fear, Pain, Hate, Jealousy, and the rest of the crew to to get away with murder: murder of our mental health.

Try this: for each negative, unclean thought, think two positive, healthy thoughts. Oh, don’t be fooled, changing one’s mind into the positive thinking mode isn’t an easy thing to accomplish - it’s not like turning the key in an ignition...no...no...that’s not the way it works. The world is presently overwhelmed with low thought vibrations, and unhealthy mind states. So, implementing the plan above will not be an easy task, for the dear earth of ours is full of the negative, its everywhere we look. To succeed in the combating of negative thinking takes a determined effort, you will have to be diligent and alert...the enemies of positive thinking will not stop trying to envade your mind sphere...these guys are relentless. So you better stay attentive, alert to any negative thought that enters your mind - DON'T ALLOW ANY MOOD-LOWERING THOUGHT RESIDENCE IN YOUR MIND. That won’t be a piece of cake but you must try to do it. Try and try again, it will become easier as you practice this routine.

And when positive thinking just seems to be like lifting a truck, remember that every journey begins with the first step. Start your journey to a better life today, refused to let the Gloom Team be winners in your life - face them, combat them - and WIN.

Obama...Obama...Our Next President?

Senator Barack Hussein Obama was a so impressive at the Democratic National Convention tonight, and me being a black man, to see Mr. Barack Obama, a mixed race individual, give such a shining and powerful speech tonight was like crystal clear water pouring down a desert-dry, thristy throat. This man, Barak Obama, looks like the next president of these United States, what a powerful and courageous delivery...this brave man made me so...so...proud. He brought back memories of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and his historic speeches...Mr. BarackObama was on fire.

Mr. Barack Hussein Obama’s address at the 2008 Democratic National Convention was simply ravishing, he stood before this nation speaking like a man on a definite mission; he looked serious and stern; he spoke strongly with authority and he spoke like someone deserving to be our president. I saw nothing but a strong and intelligent black man(ok, partly black man) showing that one’s race has nothing to do with one’s determination and desire to accomplish. Tonight was historic and totally amazing and I have Senator Barack Obama to thank. Thank you Barak Obama, thank you so very much.

Summer Olympic Champ Michael Phelps’s Secret: Lil Wayne not Speedo Swimwear

Hmmmm....interesting....they kept talking about the Olympic swimmers swimwear, they keep talking about those new age, NASA-tested Speedo swimsuits Micheal Phelps and his Olympic teammates are wearing, the Fastskin LZR Racer. These swear that these sleek, fancy-looking Speedo swimsuits are the reason for the US swimmers’ successes and world record-breaking victories. Well, I got something to say about all this...

Okay, peeps, yeah, thoses Fastskin LZR Racer swimsuits are nice but did any of you catch yesterday’s nightly news on NBC, Michael Phelps was interviewed by NBC's Brian Williams and he said before the swim contest begins he listens to Lil Wayne... Well, there it is...there you have it...straight from the horses mouth... THE SECRET to Summer Olympics swimming champion Micheal Phelfs’s success is Lil Wayne...yes...yes...I know you are dumbfounded to hear this earth-shattering news but I’m only the conveyer, the truth had to be told. Oh, there’s more...just in, “Lil Wayne will be Barack Obama’s Running Mate”. Heeee...Heeeee...okay....okay!!!! I was just joking...okayyy...it was just having some fun. Alright....alright!!!!!



Yes, my noble readers...this was a fun post, mostly for fun... But mind you, Olympc swiming champion, Michael Phelps, could indeed be receiving help besides those Speedos from the sounds of Cash Money’s Lil Wayne, for as we all know music can calm an otherwise tense mind and body - Lil Wayne’s music could be relaxing and energizing Mr. Fhelps to the point of overwhelming victory.

But let’s face it, the ultimate reason for our Summer Olympics swimming champion Micheal Phelfs’s success is himself. Micheal thanks for a job well done.

Fresh Art: Look At My Brand New Framed Art Prints

I have just completed my latest art project, these art pieces are brand spanking new, only hours old. Theses framed art prints were as always a labor of love, and I hope you’ ll feel the energy, the dedication and love I poured into each piece of artwork. I dove deep into my creative mind to come up with these framed art prints, this time I wanted to make framed art prints that were colorful but had a very direct effect.

These pieces of artwork convey a strong immediate, and I think unexpected directional tone while at the same time relaxing, comforting influence upon their viewers, opening the eyes as well as the mind. The art composition methods I used nearly aways seek to reach out to the seer, to arrest, and or, shock their mind into another world, a universe where objects are seen from a deeper standpoint...a place where objects literally talk and feel. In other words, my framed art prints, paintings, illustrations, drawings and any other artwok I create serves as a conduit for your mind expansion and creative upliftment. Communicating through line, shape and colors is - I find - a great way relate with others.

Using intense color illustrations and paintings is one of my favorite ways to produce framed art prints as well other types of art; color has definite effects on people, some colors can irritate and some colors exude a calming beneficial effect on our consciousness. Psychologist are quite aware of the influences and counsel the business community on these malevolent or benefical qualities of color and design.

The framed art prints I have most recently complete all have the qualities described above - and yes, they do enlist an obvious Andy Warhol influence - that makes for rather delightful art viewing. Here I will they are, here’s to a enjoyable framed art print viewing:
