RED: Warmth Vol. One (eBook)

Today’s the day! Introducing the first volume of the digital companion mini books to the RED series - Warmth Vol. One. The “Warmth” books take the main of the RED series in celebrating the beauty of women with an added twist: celebrating the idea of staying warm during the cold times. 30 pages full of illustrations of amazing women in all things warm - hoodies, sweaters, cardigans, and whatnot.

This is the first of two volumes with Volume Two coming out later this summer. Both lead up to the release of the sequel to the first book RED Chapter Two: Love + Lust, coming out next year. Thanks to everyone who’s been supporting the RED series thus far including the awesome women who’ve helped with it. Stay tuned because there’s much more in the works to come.

In the meantime, you should download KuroiOto’s beat tape Black Brown & White - the book’s spiritual companion soundtrack.

Hipsters aren't hip to Outkast... 

...and the Miami Heat prepare for the Playoffs.

The Revolutionary Times - No. 162/New Site

After about a year of hiatus, Brandon and I are finally bringing the gang back together. And in a big way. This week is the start of new Revolutionary Times comics.

But that's not all. We're not coming back empty handed. Nope, we bring to your our first official website! It's been a while in the making but we finally found a platform that helped us something nice and clean to the present to the world.  

Along with that, we're finally returning to our first book "50 Ways Of Being A Revolutionary" and offering it you all as an eBook!

So yep, the revolution is finally back and we aim to make it leave a mark this time. New comics drop every week!

"Sean + Shea" 08 - DJ Mustard

In this week's rap comic over at Complex, we take a look at DJ Mustard (producer for rapper YG) and his first piano recital.

We Made It...

...not really but apparently I was in the Entertainment section of today's edition of The Saginaw News. It's all taken from a recent article that was originally for MLIVE.com. Thanks again to Jessica Shepherd for even considering to interview me.

Also I'm a featured person of the month over at New Age Rebellion

I'm not famous though so... get that out of your system.

"Sean + Shea" #07/"I Can Hear Jimi" #04

This week's latest batch of comics from Shea and I over at Complex and ESPN Truehoop!

RED: Warmth Vol. One (Cover)

 

...Speaking of RED, since there's now a soundbed for it now is the perfect time to drop the cover for digital mini-book companion to the upcoming RED Book sequel. 

RED: Warmth Vol. One is scheduled to drop digitally on April 23rd. Yep, VOLUME ONE. Because of the surprising turn out of submissions Warmth is getting split into two volumes with the second half being released during the summer. That should give people enough RED to go around while I work on Chapter Two for the remainder of the year. 

MUSIC: KuroiOto - Black, Brown, & White

Recently fellow BLAT! member KuroiOto asked me to embark with him on a journey to bring visual life to his upcoming instrumental tape Black, Brown & White - a celebration of the beauty of black women. And with that idea we both came up with several images based on each song, which were inspired by the likes of Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, and Erykah Badu. There's even a beat on there inspired by the upcoming RED: Warmth book. The tape dropped at midnight last night on Producers I Know so please do yourself a favor and cop it for yourself. You can also stream/download it below as well.

The Revolution Is BACK!

After about a year of trying to figure out life (and web design), the hiatus is finally over. Starting next month, Brandon and I are bringing back The Revolutionary Times in full force with new comics and (finally) a brand new website! Stay tuned.

"I Can Hear Jimi" #03 - Solve The Puzzle

"Sean + Shea" #05 - "The Aubrey Graham Response Center"

This week's latest "Sean + Shea" has dropped and it founds its way on the main Twitter AND on the Complex Instagram. I guess it's safe to say that, ahem, we made it?

Hellboy's 20th Anniversary

Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of Mike Mignola's Hellboy. Mignola is one of my favorite artists and highly influential in my style of art ever since I was inadvertently introduced to him via his work on Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

SMACK FUN FACT: The cross bracelet I wear on my drawing arm is partly inspired by the same way Hellboy wears his.

The Night The Mouse Trap Took Over AOHH

Friday night was the return of AOHH (Art Of Hip-Hop), iV's staple hip-hop showcase in Flint, MI. So Big O suggested I brush up on my mural making skills and do a little something on the walls of Flint Local 432. It was my first time messing around with acrylic markers so I think it turned out nice for something simple.

"Sean + Shea" #04 - Gangsta Gibbs Ski Masks

The latest "Sean + Shea" joint celebrates the release of Freddie Gibbs' joint album with producer Madlib called Pinata.
