"Dr.J" by Sherwin Long

medium: Acrylic

size: 11"x17"

This was the result of a homework assignment for an alphabet book.  I guess the letter here is "J" lol. I originally wanted it to be "S" for slam dunking on the opposition, but I thought this composition worked better.  I enjoyed painting this because it was very challenging to squeeze all those bodies together but I like the end result. 

"Nas" by Sherwin Long

medium: Acrylic

size: 9"x13"

I enjoyed working on this painting because it allowed me to be a little more expressive and experimental.  I chose the colors based on my emotional state at the moment, I guess you can say I have been very neutral but forceful at the same time so I wanted to somehow hint that with the inner glow of yellows and oranges. I made each color so I am proud of the vibrance I established with the aura.  I enjoy working with complimentary colors.  I have a few more in this 90's hip hop tribute series. Stay Tuned!
