I studied illustration at Pratt Institute, and very much enjoy the simplicity of pen and ink to create artwork. For most of my illustration work, I’ll start off the piece with collage, then paint before adding details in pen and ink. Included are some personal pieces, as well as a few pieces from the book Hip Hop Speaks to Children, published by Source Books and compiled by legendary poet Nikki Giovanni, which rose to become New York Times Bestseller.
