In a time long long ago circa 2002-2003ish in a land call UNC Charlotte Rowe arts building I meekly roamed the halls making what some called 'art'. (and a brief time after graduation) It was a time when Cobra Commander was president and I actually thought Blackstar would make a second album. (silly me).
I've come a long way since then. From time to time I like to look at my older work to see how I've progress. An artist once told me the difference between a good artist and a bad artist is that a good artist has more bad work. (form all the hours of pratice). The work below is bad....REALLY bad...I mean like Spiderman 3 or Sarah Palin using the English language bad. But I'm confident enough in the work I'm making now to show these. So before there was this I was making what you see below.
Sidebar: The reason all these pieces are colorpencil and bad photoshop is becasue I'm what science refer to as 'poor' (Look it up. Its a real thing), So in college I couldn't afford paint but prismacolors were way cheaper so I just learned how to use them. It wasn't until after college I was able to buy paints on a regular bases.

the thing i like most about this horrific work that you seem to have left behind is your exaggerated perspectives. i've always liked comic books (never have and still don't desire to make comic book art) and i realized that the thing i love about comic book art, besides dope line work and ink, is the consistent exaggerated perspectives. i need to crank out CRAZY AMOUNTS OF SUBPAR MATERIAL - like even worse than this ;) to get my stuff where it needs to be. no time like the present to play with that, i guess.
