This painting was done in about an hour and a half. The color scheme is different from my usual palette. These colors have a retro feel – muted teal, greenish brown, and bluish gray. It was an experiment and I’m pleased with the outcome. I’ll use similar color schemes in the future.

I’m in a book! Art for Obama
September 15, 2009
As you know, I participated in Manifest Hope:DC, the inaugural art exhibition featuring art work inspired by Barack Obama and his theme of change. The work from that show was collected into a book, Art for Obama.
The two pieces that I was honored to display at the show are published in this book. Is He Black Enough? and, Kenyan-American.
I went to Border’s today to check it out and took pictures with my trusty BlackBerry.

I must say, having my work featured in a book is pretty awesome.
And then walking across the store and seeing my work published in a magazine isn’t too bad either.
