AFRO XXVI, 12" x 16", oil on canvas, 2009
Another shot at my current Afro series. I met this girl on the escalator at London Bridge, her Afro got my instant attention, I asked if she'll like to be part of my current project, she agreed when she saw some samples of my previous work. I didn't really get her resemblance as you'll notice when I post the drawing version of this piece which I feel looks more liker her. But the emphasis of this series is not really about the peoples faces but their hair! I am just always captivated by Afro hair, and I carry this feeling with me into the process of working it out during the execution of the work!

Looks great.
You're amazingly gifted in portraiture and in capturing large scale architecture. I think that the painting definitely looks like somebody that you might run into on the street. Of course, it's stylized a bit but most paintings are like that. I really look forward to seeing the sketch version
Very good! Fantastic!
