Creative Juices: Using My Creative Abilities!

I am the only artist in my immediate family. Whenever a creative project comes up, whether it's for school, decorating there homes or some other occasion, I am the first person they ask for help. Recently I sketched some illustrations as a favor and had so much fun doing it (as I am anytime I'm creating works of art) that I've decided that I am going to start writing and illustrating my very own books. I don't have any pictures of my own illustrations up yet due to technical problems, but I do have some illustrations from one of my favorite artist Kadir Nelson. Kadir Nelson has done illustrations for several famous authors and actors like Debbie Allen, Will Smith, Spike and Tonya Lee, Micheal Jordan and his wife etc. One of the reasons I find so much pleasure in viewing his work is because he has doesn't limit himself in one genre of art. You've probably seen his work decorating the set of some of your favorite television show and movies like "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air", "Jamie Foxx", "Set It Off", and "Friday just to name a few. He was also the Conceptual Artist for Steven Spielberg's "Amistad" and "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron". Keep up the good work Kadir! See more of his work here Mood: Inspired!
