"The Dream Chaser" by Sherwin Long

medium: charcoal, ink pen, and marker

size: 3ft x 6ft 

This drawing was one of my favorite things I have done because it pushed me to work to a level that I never have. I always limit myself in how much time I give myself to work on something. This drawing represents my journey to becoming who I am today. The children on the left represent see no evil, hear no evil, think no evil. The angel represents blind faith and hope. The elephant is my spirit animal/totem. The car represents my fire burning passion and classic style. I just wanted to pay homage to those people I look up to, All these people  inspired me and others are my temptation. I enjoy drawing things that are metaphorical because they allow me to say all the things I feel in a subtle way. 

"Face of Hope" by Sherwin Long

medium: Acrylic

size: 16"x20" canvass

This painting is one of my favorite I have done because of the size and composition.  When you see it up close and personal you will realize the texture and detail that went into the background and the face. Obama is one of the presidents that is for the common people.  He has been working to make the right reforms that will allow the economy to start moving forward. We cant expect change immediately, but understand that it will take time and a mutual effort from the rich percent of the population to share. I hope on my journey to become a great artist that I inspire change for the greater good of the world.
