This is a cultural robot figure I made out of sturdy board and acrylic paint. The design and color scheme was inspired directly from African cultural fabrics and sculptures.

Dimensions:
Height: Approximately 5 inches
Width: 2 3/4 inches
Depth: 2 1/2 inches

Drawing on the train is one of my favorite workout routines. In this photo I was drawing the girl next to me in the red coat. It was her birthday week and her mom (the lady in the back filming with her phone) saw me drawing and wanted to commission me for a portrait of her daughter done on-site. You know me, I accepted. There was a crowd of people standing around as they had heard the conversation and wanted to see me action.

The ride was bumpy, the noise was loud but I did my best and produced a classic for her to take home and frame.

I remember the days when use to struggle to Make A Living, now I LIVE MY MAKING and day by day life just gets sweeter. Things are unfolding all of the time. New stuff to learn, places to travel, people to meet. Now I'm done writing my first book on drawing (which will be downloadable on by August 20th) and my creativity is soaring!





Almost done with my ebook on drawing. I'm aiming to launch it to the public on August 20th. So if you're interested in gaining more confidence in your drawing or just starting out, this book will be a great help as I am cramming lots of the knowledge I have learned over the years into it.
 In the meantime here is one of my latest works.









...and when things get tough, this is what you should do - make good art. 
I'm serious
Husband runs off with a politician 
Make Good Art
Leg crushed and then eaten by mutated boa constrictor
Make Good Art
IRS on your trail
Make Good Art
cat exploded
Make Good Art
Someone one on the internet thinks that what you are doing is stupid or evil or it's all been done before
Make Good Art
Probably things will work out somehow
eventually time will take the sting away
and that doesn't even matter
do what only you can do best
Make - Good - Art

- Neil Gaiman
