Retro paintings

It is the 10 year anniversary of the Michael Jordan painting. I painted it sophomore year in High School. It was the first drawing/painting that really let me know how far I was coming as an artist and inspired me to want to go into the art field. When I did the picture I thought about what I could do differently and so I painted his portrait Black and white but wanted to leave the rings in color. My art teacher, Mr. Myles walked me through the process and got it started for me, then I was able to finish it up by myself. So I'll say he did about 30% of the work.
I of course was proud of the painting and showed it off to everyone I knew. My mother made copies of it and sold it to her co-workers at her job at the time. Alot of my family members also have copies of it. The one mistake I think I made was not really trademarking this version of the image. Since the reference was from a nike ad, Nike really owned the rights to the image (and so does the photographer). So after I let a friend post the pic on her website, not too long afterwards I started seeing my version on jackets, backpacks, t-shirts, etc. Can't say for sure that it was all based on this version but it's pretty coincedental.

Rose

Englewood native, fellow Simeon grad, 6'3 200 pound lighting quick Chicago tough point guard and your 2011 NBA MVP, Derrick Martell "Pooh" Rose.
They didn't make it to the finals but the city is proud. Proud that for the first time on a Chicago sports team, the main superstar is also home grown product. The Chicago Bulls overall had a great season, not only because of this young man, but the tremendous coach of the year Tom Thibedeau in his very first year as a pro basketball head coach. The Bulls also got solid production from Luol Deng, Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer (though his playoff production dropped off)and their Bench was amongst the best in the league helping to lead the team to a league best 62-20 record and reaching the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 1998.

New Wallpapers

Two brand spanking new wallpapers I made for my two favorite Chicago sports teams.
I'm also looking to buy a graphic tablet for $100 or less and I can't seem to find any in the city. If anybody knows of a place where I can go in and purchase one (not of the internet) let me know.
Peace.

LBJ

Working on cariacatures. Getting my game up.

Chicago Bulls

Chicago Bulls concept designs. I'm thinking about a new logo too, but they definitely need to update the uniforms kinda like the Lakers, Heat and Celtics did.

Madden 2010?

My possible design for Madden NFL 2010, with Vikings running back Adrian Peterson on the cover. It's all done in photoshop. After I started looking for references of AP
on the internet and Madden type, I saw plenty of mock covers with Adrian Peterson on it. Maybe EA might consider it after all.

WWE1

1st part of WWE project I'm working on. (Hopefully THQ or WWE see this)
There's more that will be added later.
