I seem to be moving along when it comes to my series of work. I have finished up my first project for the show which was the clock and gears print. I have also came up with another concept which can be successfully produced, which brings my work up to three projects for right now. For one of my other drawings I have been working with my camera(s) to work on side views of my face in order to make an illustration that deals with Phrenology. Phrenology is the study of the human skull in pseudoscience terms that studies the person's interests and emotions and how it allows for the brain to function. It was mostly popular in the 19th century. Since it looks like I have human anatomy on the mind, my third project will be in a form of a drawing which consist of a human heart but with a twist, on having an array of different colors. It seems random but I recently saw an article that explained on how scientists studied the body heat of humans when it comes to emotions and I felt this can help with part of my work. But instead of being in a body form, it'll be in the human heart. This project I'm laying out deals with my relationships and I'm using the emotion body heat concept to illustrate it more. Here's a link if anybody's interested:

An artist I have always been a fan of is a cartoonist named Aaron Mcgruder. Mcgruder is known for making the popular and controversial comic strip and television show called 'The Boondocks' which utilizes anime style drawing while dealing with issues in not just the African American community but in the entire nation.
