I like the new Superman suit, however, here are a few tweaks I'd prefer:

Replace red briefs with a red belt, remove the high collar, use only the outline for the S symbol on his cape

“You’re a slut and a whore for the algorithm. I couldn’t do it anymore. You can never feed it enough. You start out making art, and hoping that the door will open. You’re looking for that viral moment so it opens up the door and you can do the thing full time. But you start to compromise just to get the door to open: guessing what it wants, debasing yourself, alienating yourself. Until you’re not even in service to your art anymore. You’re in service to the algorithm. Deep down every artist just wants to be seen. Everyone does. And that’s how it controls you. The algorithm makes you behave in a certain way, create in a certain way, in exchange for being seen. And if something can change what you do, it can change who you are. And I didn’t sign up for that. I didn’t sign up to become a content creator. Art was supposed to be a way for me to be in search of, in service to, in community with. It was my ministry. Art was supposed to be my ministry.”

For this 2nd #drawing for Leye & Jolaade’s wedding, I was to do a Toile de Jouy of them surrounded by some landmarks of #Paris; ideally it should’ve been fuller with trees & shrubs, but I couldn’t pull that off in time. Altogether I think I tried. #JLaVieEnRose

Big thanks (and Congrats!) to Jolaade & Leye who commissioned this #illustration of themselves for their #wedding decor and souvenirs

My Spidersona attempt. Wanted something simple & stealthy. Don't know what to name it 🤷🏾‍♂️. I enjoyed playing with the halftones.

“The Janitor" an idea I had for a gritty action thriller about a mercenary who moonlights as a janitor.

He, you know... "takes out the trash"; typical clientele is bad guys who want to take out other bad guys, until one day…
