Royalty: King and Queen Obama

The theme of the show was "past, present, future". I took a European/"classical" view of royalty and portrayed that in a Renaissance style painting of the "king" and "queen" representing the past. The choice to use Barack and Michelle as the obvious leaders of the country currently represents the present. Their leadership and example is going to be the blueprint for politics and governing nations for years to come, clearly representing the future.

Take what you want from these paintings. Some see them as satirical. Others see them as a representation of the African kings and queens from years past. Some people even see the all powerful, "my way or the highway" mentality that Presidents/kings have. Whatever you see in these is correct because you have a choice to see what you want. Choice is what separates us humans from other living beings. It's what makes us GREAT.

Both paintings for sale. Contact me for pricing. Serious inquiries only!!!

If you live in a 50 mile radius I expect to see you there. (I have your IP addresses so I know EXACTLY where you are so don't test me.) Come support your favorite artist, and if he's not there come support me instead. :) And as you can see on the flyer, my girl Samantha Mattice-Lowery will also be showing! It's her first show! I'll see you there!

Eminem: Relapse

Ok, this is disturbing, even for HIM. A graphic retelling of an incestuous rape/molestation by his step-father is a bit much. Killing people and wearing their skin as suits? What is wrong with this guy? Why is he still picking on Christopher Reeves? That dude’s been dead for months now. Did he just say he wants to perform a home abortion and dig the fetus out with a wire hanger and eat it? Ok, that’s it… Eminem has lost it. He’s back in his “Slim Shady” splendor conveying the most disturbing controversial concepts only his twisted mine can create. Where “The Marshall Mathers LP” was more of an exploration into who Eminem was, and “The Eminem Show” was a diagram outlining his political views, “Relapse” heavily relies on shock value. It’s too early to determine where this album ranks among the rest of his catalog, but as a stand alone album the early returns say that this album is a strong B+. Over time, this album will undoubtedly appreciate and solidify itself as “classic” status. Aside from the unsettling subject matter, his wordplay alone makes this album worth listening to. While its to be expected because of the difference of genre “Relapse” is a far cry from the “Stanky Leg” and “Ricky Bobby”-esque “songs” that we are being force fed by radio. It’s refreshing… Ok maybe not refreshing, but it feels good to hear something other than instructional “Hokey Pokey” songs post 2004. True Eminem fans will be at least satisfied with “Relapse”. For the rest of you, I can’t promise what you should expect. As always, cop the album and form your own opinions.

Mars Blackmon Digital Speed Painting

I've been trying to figure out a way to show you, my faithful fans, my entire creative process for literally MONTHS now. Thanks to technology and my man Blue the Great, you can see me work on a digital painting from start to finish. Some of the proportions are a little off, but you get the overall gist. Adobe Photoshop CS3 2.5 hours.

Eddie House: "That's what happen when you start bustin' somebody @$$"

Eddie House is one of my favorite players. Dude is an incredible shooter, and I look like him. What's not to like? This interview is after his run in with Rafer "Skip to my Lou" Alston and 31 pts on 11 for 14 shooting off the bench!

Apple iPhone 4G: Summer 2010

It’s been stated on more than one occasion and by more than one person that I should work for Apple. And I agree. Apple if you are interested in hiring a strapping, cutting edge twenty something artist, philanthropist, super hero, I’m your man. Until then, I just want to show you, my faithful readers, what I found today while browsing the net.

The concept designs for the Apple iPhone 4G… Is this not enough to soil your knickers?

Observations and Random Thoughts

I have an “unusual gift” of noticing the remarkable in some of the most unremarkable things. Some people would say it’s what makes me an artist. I say it’s deeper than that. I’m just more aware of my surroundings than most. Long story short, I notice ish. Couple that with a mind that NEVER stops cranking a mile a minute and you get a fairly skewed thought process. Here are some of my recent observations and “thoughts” about life in general.

The Game is a male “Superhead”. His entire career is built on name dropping. And its becoming more and more prevalent in each verse.

I’ve waited 5 years and I think enough time has passed for me to enlist you, the reader’s, help. In Beyonce’s song “Baby Boy” featuring Sean Paul, what does “ata-ata-ana-ya” mean? How does he know I’m gonna like it? And that apparently shouldn’t fight it…

What’s the deal with that bushel of gnats that congregates above sidewalks at face level so you walk directly into them?

Would dating a set of identical twins simultaneously qualify as cheating? I mean they have the same face and superficially the reason you are attracted to one would be the EXACT reason you would be attracted to the other.

What is a “second world country”? I mean I know what a “third world country” is… Ad I suppose I know what a “first world country” is. Is this the same conspiracy that taught us about speaking in first and third person? How’d they know I didn’t want to speak in second person to keep people on their toes. Maybe “second world countries” speak in second person…

What were bald eagles called 10 years ago? Balding eagles? Receding hairline eagles?

Since I pay rent at my apartment and that’s the sole reason I’m NOT sleeping on the street for at least the next month doesn’t that indirectly qualify my apartment as a “homeless shelter”? Tax exemption here I come!!!

I don’t like when I go places and the employee tells me to “have a nice day” as I’m leaving. That’s putting so much pressure on me. What if I leave and have a bad day? I’ve let Mrs Chick-Fil-A drive through clerk down… And NOONE wants that.

Had to give you something short and sweet to get back in the saddle of writing on a consistent basis. It's tough trying to juggle everything these days.
