Racism

Here is a few sketches of the concept I have to use an image of young children to portray the ugliness of racism. In my field of work,  I'm constantly working with and around people of different backgrounds and ages. Although  many people may never experience racism, it still exist.

Poster 1

Poster 2: I recently saw a video on Facebook with preschoolers of different ethnic backgrounds welcome back their classmate who was out sick for week. The student was embraced with hugs and smiles. I thought to myself the world would be very different if everyone had the purity of children.

Indie Artist Tré Thomas

Essence of Tré - Working on the idea to show a day in the life of Tré Thomas to help showcase his dedication for his crowd-funding campaign.

I decided to take parts of each drawing to build on the cd cover for Tré Thomas. Tré is a local artist in DC working diligently on his music career. The photomontage is to help with his brand, commitment to his music and fans, and to help with a crowd-funding campaign for his latest project.
