Frank Frazetta 1928 - 2010

The art world lost one of the greats today. When i started drawing seriously around the age of 12 there was 2 things i liked drawing on a constant. One was graffiti and the other was Frazetta's girls and monster's. Although i never really took to creating my own fantasy art, I filled countless pads of paper with Frazetta copies. My instructor at the time Ricardo Irazari had an amazing collection of prints and books by Frazetta and I would work on full scale charcoal copies every week of one or two of his pieces. He was a great inspiration to me and to many others. For more info on Frazetta check out these links...

ROOTS

Hung out again this weekend at the Wynwood Penit. Feels awesome to get back to what initially inspired me to get into art. My roots are in graff and i've missed it. Altough i did a bit in college it wasn't really the same. I miss the days hangin out with T and him just showing me all bout tips and letter and everything. I also remember the first time i met FREEK and some of the other guys in DAM and i was like whoooa. That was an inspiring time. I was young and i was around the best writers in miami at the time and since.

I been designing some walls and im trying to get a wall somewhere in the wynwood district... maybe ill scan some of the designs tomorrow and let you guys see.. maybe.

Here are some pics of me and Christy over at the penit messing around. Between writing and looking at pieces we managed to get some shots in. Let me know what you guys think.
