"GUITAR MAN"

2007-12-06T21:08:00.001-05:00

The bond between Music and Art is so close that i wanted to show the relationship hands have with the instruments they play. People say that this painting is a modern day " The Oldest Guitarist" by Pablo Picasso.

"ANDRE3000"

2007-12-06T20:39:00.001-05:00

'Andre 3000' one of my favorite paintings yet. the background is a plaid and is all hand painted, every single line. This is a conceptual portrait project given to us by my professor SCOTT BAKAL. i decided to do Andre3000 because he is a character in him self. every single article of clothing he wears has his personality written all over it. this is why i chose to do plaid pee-coat with stripe dress pants and a purple poke-a-dot bow tie.

"Pride"

2007-12-06T20:15:00.001-05:00

-a high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc.
in this painting i try to show what a person with pride looks like. To me a person with pride feels good in there own skin and could walk down any street. Even if you get retarded looks or get laughed at. You know who you are and you are a bigger and better person then those people who hate.

Michelle L. Colon

2007-12-06T19:14:00.000-05:00

A portrait of a friend. I tried to capture her likeness and the "NATURAL" beauty that she possesses. I depicted her as Mother nature a women with strength, brains, beauty and full of life.

Bob Marley & Mos Def

2007-12-06T18:57:00.000-05:00

"Don't worry about a thing every little thing is going to be alright" lyrics from one of Marley's songs and "In she came with the same type game. giving out fake number and name." both paintings are in 'oils on a masonite board'. In this project i needed to represent two artists that have the same message but from two completely different ERAs. i decided to chose Bob Marley and Mos Def, they are two of my favorite artist i consider both of them Great lyricist. i decided to connect the stage in which both are performing and the words to flow from left to right. this was meant to be a two page spread this is why i decided to go for this execution .

The "GRUNGY" Punk Rocker

2007-11-26T10:28:00.001-05:00

When you walk down a New York city street you see a hand full of different faces. my favorite type of individual is the "Punk Rocker." they walk through the streets glaring back beams of light that reflects from all the piercings they have. as you can see in the background there is a New York City garbage can. "Garbage can-Grungy" get it!! yehh!

The "HARDCORE" Biker

2007-11-26T10:11:00.001-05:00

this is one painting from a series of paintings that i have been trying to build. i started these paintings this summer while vacationing in North Carolina in my parents house. the theme of this series is a play on words, taking a type of person and finding an object that describes them or their personality in a humorous fashion. for example this painting shows this Hardcore Biker staring at us, serious face, hands clutched together and behind him the bike he rides. a pink banana seat bicycle standing in front of his apartment building just chilling...
