Last month I was asked by Stephan Rosger, an Interactive web, communication & marketing designer to come up with a piece of illustration for his newly launch site, the theme given is “surviving the urban jungle”

Right now I am having paintings (sumtin old and sumtin new..) displayed at Calabash Bistro and Lounge (Basement Level Lounge)…So far I can’t complain since I’ve sold more pieces through there than I’ve ever sold any at galleries. Besides my art, check’em out for great Caribbean & Island flava cuisine!

Like Mos Def say been a “traveling man” for a minute now, starting on some new art projects and will post’em soon.

For those who dunno me, I also DJ too and been doing it for almost 10 yr.s now. Grew up listening to tablist style and now I covered an eclectic selection of music…

Every once in awhile when I slacked on the updates, I always have some random messages from people msging me ” Hey still alive?” or ” Wassup with the site….you quit doing art??”

I love it how random people can sound so demanding considering I have no direct connection to them….are they really hungry for more of my creations or are they trying to see if it’s worth the time to spam my site??

In anycase, there are new pieces added to the Illustration section now.

The one shown here should be a fairly familiar image to anybody living in Vancouver especially after that new bogus HST tax they laid on us like nobody’s bizness….

Proxart Magazine Feature

RollersStudio — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 23:49:43 +0000

Got featured in the Summer 2010 issue of CA based Proxart Magazine…

Not merely cause of me being featured, but it is actually a very good read with insightful columns for the art heads out thurr…

Here’s the link to the web PDF version of it

Who Remembers the movie….

RollersStudio — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 07:35:53 +0000

TRON !?!?

I ‘member when I first saw that movie, I thought I was on drugs and I didn’t know anything bout Drugs (of course back then I was only 4 …)

Anyhow, here’s a peek….

There will be a possible promo giveaway with ShogunGamer coming up….stay tuned!

Summer’s in the city….

RollersStudio — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 11:20:55 +0000

….and here’s another quick update of something new…

- a new album cover done for Infamous local DJ K-Rec

- some more new Concept Art stuff in Illustration section as I further build & refine my port folio

I am surprised…

RollersStudio — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 05:51:21 +0000

….to find out recently that actually I do have bit of an audience for this site.

Like most people that run their own personal websites, I feel like I’m just in this dark room where I hang my own pictures while talking to myself….however, once the light goes on in the room there are actually unexpected guest there…..

Other than the general periodic spam I get here and there, I have gotten some replies in regards to a recent illustration I did of a Priest praying (besides the newest piece in painting section….lol). Besides being stunned by how much faith people still have with Catholicism, I’m equally amazed at how my lil statement had caused a stir in their minds…lol (I am literally laughing).

Nuff of da jibba jabba (anybudy seem the new A-team movie, does Rampage say that at all???), more concept art up in illustration section and here’s a peak.

P.S. The Guru tribute video is STILL going on, plus it is NEVER too late to pay tribute to someone great, right?

Guru Tribute

RollersStudio — Fri, 07 May 2010 13:43:13 +0000

I’m sure April 19 was a sad depressing day for most heads out there who were down from the golden-era…

I felt this is something I ought to do to in order to show my appreciation to one of the greatest lyricist from the 90s. GangStarr is “da REAL hip hop” . May he rest in peace….

Keith Elam a.k.a. Guru of GangStarr R.I.P.

A Video on this is in the works in collabo with DoubleYum production….check back for mo’ details!

Below is the development sketch and final piece.
