Mr. Coopa's Neighberhood

One who holds a very near and dear place in my heart is Charles Cooper. There was a time when I was ready to give up art. I was creating and creating but no one appreciated my art. The more I painted, the more criticism I experienced. After licensing one of my painting to Salem Tobacco products, the opinions grew. I was ready to call it quits. My confidence was shook, but Charles encouraged me to going. He advised me to find my niche, stick with it and my public will come.  I'm glad he was there for me, stepping up as a mentor. Now I have the chance to do the same. 

Charles has since passed of cancer. As a tribute to the courage, confidence and Charles being a great artist/mentor, I had to dedicate a series to him. I combined both of our styles and am sure he would be pleased.

Refine my style, please myself and you will see it in my works of art. I appreciate that pep talk. It made me who I am today.

Me and my friends enjoying the lights, music and people all around us. Dancing to great music takes you into another world. It feels as though you are 1 with the music and you don't care who seeing you express yourself.

    • Oodles of Doodles

    This experiment is something that challenges your mind and imagination. I closed my eyes and drew random lines, circles, and squares. Once opened, I turned the paper clockwise to see what images were hidden within the chaos. Finding the beauty within was a great pleasure and now I present the beauty to you.

    • The Trumpet Series

    There's something about the sound of a trumpet that sets a mood. Be it a piccolo trumpet or another instrument in the brass family, it shows emotion. 

    This series spotlights Trombone Shorty, Dizzy Gillespie and Josephine Baker. A few of the names I love in this unique genre called Jazz. Though I never been to New Orleans, I'm sure that there's a brass band or instrument in the mist of daily activites.
