The bowl of life...

When I started this drawing, I wanted to add colour and see what it would look like.  But as most people that draw, I was conflicted as to whether I should leave it black & white.  So I thought, let me not restrict myself, and leave the colour in the center.  When you go inward, you can represent your outer at its best! The center is the life of this drawing because it's the one with coulour and is the focal point.  (almost like life...you have to be centered to withstand what life can throw at you...it will either complete you or break you!) 

 

AND...

White represents all that is pure. It represents chance, and cleanliness.  But sometimes in art it is a representation of "the absence of colour" and others also dare to take it as far as to call it: boring.

They call it boring because it is too "safe", and does not represent anything.

This collage was inspired by the clash of being pure versus being boring.  Pure does not always equal boring.  The noise in the silence that is "white" leaves lots to the imagination.

So, you can either leave white as what it is, or you can just simply challenge someone to add to it and just leave them with the statement/question...: AND...

What does your hair say about you?

When in high school, we were never allowed to have dreadlocks.  So as soon as I left high school, the first thing I did was grow my afro and lock the thickest locks I could imagine. 

I loved my dreadlocks.  A lotta people said they were rebellious, others liked them and others just wanted to have them as well.  They explained a vibrant me, a "rebellious" me, a charismatic me and simply put... me! 

Growing my locks meant that I could do what I wanted to do and not be confined by "the system" of rules that the school gave us! 

They were an expression, they were a reason I could do what I wanted to do and not hold my self back.

Oh and I just liked them and thought they were pretty mint!!

So...what does your hair say about you?

You say potatoe, I say potato

Something that I painted. Not too complex, but I like it.
