On January 28th, I had the great pleasure of attending the Art Is Life Digital Gala and Awards Ceremony! There was an artist call for NYC employees (I currently work as a substitute teacher). I submitted a piece of art last year for their virtual exhibit. The title of the piece is “Hopeful.”

I was also part of The Pelham Art Center’s Faculty exhibition (I teach there from time to time). I showed my Harlem Specter and Chilled Giant.

I think that’s all for now! Still working on that graphic novel, which is coming along very slowly.

Hello, folks! Hope everyone’s doing okay! My current semester at AAU has ended and I’ll be returning to my next one in September.

The Group Art Show “Celebrating The Maternal Image” by Got Art? Inc. at the Mount Vernon Library Is almost over! The show ends on Thursday and I’ll be picking up my piece on Friday! It was a pleasure showing my “Luvbugs” there!

I’ve also been continuing my commissions for the past few months and have really enjoyed doing them!

The two pieces above were commissioned by my friend Breeauna from France! First ones are me and her as Power Rangers beating Klan members and then the second is a double portrait!

And then here’s a TF TG commission I completed last month, I believe!

Here’s another excerpt of another transformation commission I did, and was very fun to practice my cel shading technique:

I’ve done much more but I’m not sure If I should post them here 🙂

Anyways, that’s it for now! And my commissions are still open in case anyone wants one! Paypal preferred. Until next time!

Best,

Mecca

Hello, everybody! I hope everyone is well. Time for a small update.

This is a piece I did for a music video directed by Michael Cheq/Curtis Sherrod. The name of the video is “MO PEACE, MO JUSTICE,” written and sang by LA Blacksmith. Very fun! Painted using Adobe Photoshop. Model is Andricka Dree Hall.

Hello everyone! Little bit of old news but my Colored Victory was published in Uppercase Magazine Issue 39. You can buy the issue here.

I also showed her at another group show called Beautiful Chaos in Brooklyn, hosted by Fantasy in Color.

Also, my Green Sister was shown in Lehman College as part of Mind-Builders 40th Anniversary Gala. I was invited by The Calabar Gallery to place her up for Auction.

Looking forward to making more Sisters! Purple Sister coming soon!
