BAYOU DRIP
36″ x 48″ Crayon on Canvas
If you happened to make it to the Enfield Square event in April then you might have seen this piece while it was being made. A lot of crayons and a lot of patience went into this one. What made it even better were all of the smiling faces watching the dripping crayons race down the canvas. I think there might have been a few new crayon melters born that day.
RED FLOOD
10″ x 12″ Mixed Media on Canvas
The water just kept on rising. We got to the dock just in time. It held strong as we stood and watched. You could see parts of houses, cars and life floating by. Eventually the water was stained red. I just closed my eyes and hoped that I was dreaming.
CHANT DOWN
11″ x 12″ Mixed Media on Wood
Babylon is all around us. It is the government. It is the various systems that are in place trying to govern our existence to fit certain molds. Consumerism, material wealth, politricks, money and more, are these the things that really matter today? They were put in place to put the people in their place. Chant dem down! Sing the songs of revolution and inform the people that we do not need these systems. We need to live off the land and be free! Chant dem down! Don’t be a victim of the system anymore. Chant dem down with the sounds of reggae music! Jah Live!
CRAYOLA MELT
12″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Omega Bond
Ah… I opened a brand new box of Crayola Crayons and got ready to make an old school crayon drawing on paper. The smell of crayons remind me of being 5. Crayons are where almost every child starts in the art world. Crayons can be used for more than just drawing. I was going to draw something, maybe next time. Melting the crayons down seemed like the right thing to do.
