Been gone for a minute but I’m back at the jump off! Well It’s been a while since I have updated this blog, but I’m planning to exhibit my work in 2015 so I’ll be hinting as to what my collection will look like. I have been an admirer of this lady for a while. She was the OG dark skin model to really make it in mainstream society BL (before Lupita). I have been reconnected to my love of portraiture and I have been meaning to make more use of my Wacom Intuos5

On to Something

So second semester was a crazy experience. Who knew art was so… yeah confusing; just when I think I’m on to something, something else pings up and I find myself doing other projects. So this was my entry for the Turner’s page turner competition, didn’t win (OH the pain would have done with another bridge camera :P) but I think I got something way better. As part of the exhibition the art shortlisted in this competition got the chance to have their work in the Turner contemporary. SO YAY! It was equally great to hear that a friend got in too, due to competition rules I couldn’t put this up but hey it’s all over so this was my entry. As you can tell from my end of semester project, this was part my final piece ideas I don’t know way this even got chosen but hey, like I said art is confusing the pieces I dismiss tend to be the stuff people like the most. So come year two I’m going completely AVANT GARDE!! Yinka better watch out 😛
