Malcolm X Painting

I've posted updates of this for a while.. I've been working on and off for the last 3 years and this is the latest pic. I have some more to do with it but it's getting close to complete..... I think....

[ARon]

A benign observation: why are all the drawings I've seen of yours of black men?

I think Artsy drew Eminem though?

Wait lol, hes black.

 

[Synful*Luv]

That is amazingly good!

One small observation.. it looks like he's about to say something that begins with the letter "F".

It's not that I only paint black men but in most cases those are the ones I post here.. For example:

Other work I've done that I probably havent posted here. And theres more so if your interested: Jessica Hinsliff | Artwork Portfolio | ArtWanted.com

Also what really got me into drawing/painting and portraiture was Tupac, alot of my early stuff is 'Pac and eventually I moved into drawing other people.. haha..

@ Synful Luv - Yeah it looks that way.. haha I would love to know which speech this photo belongs to.. He looks fired up.

If I posed nude for you - would you draw me a la Titanic?

On a more serious note though, I love your paintings.

 

[dilla]

You gonna draw Rukas? I heard he was the next Pac.

As long as you pretend to be shy.. And no jealous boyfriend who'll steal it and try to kill me, we're good. haha..

I like the Beatles painting best. The Malcolm X one is nice too; that photo of him is one of the best.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Thanks.. Yeah this pic of Malcolm is one of the best I think.. The other might be the one with the AK-47.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

great paintings. you're really talented.

what do you do with these? sell them or keep them?

also, how big are they?

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Thanks Sandeep.

Most of them are sold. I have a few but mostlly early ones that I'm not sure I'd want to sell for various reasons.

The Malcolm X one is approx double life size, the canvas is 47 x 39 inches. The photo I took doesn't show the entire Canvas its cropped in a bit, theres more space above his head in reality. Most of my other paintings are 36 x 24 inches so the Malcolm one has been a challenge of scale for me.. It makes a HUGE difference when you work on a bigger scale.
