This is my friend Alev Ozkaynak, she's an incredibly talented artist to be featured on the "great Wall of Brooklyn" in Cinton Hill this September. She also rules the house at Maggie Browns, yummm.
I took this photo last year at the Brooklyn Flea in Ft Greene. This year I plan on taking photos every week at the Flea and making drawings. The flea is a lot of fun, very colorful and just a load of inspiration. I'll be posting the photos with the drawings on my blogspot.

At the moment I'm living in Queens but hopefully heading back to Brooklyn in the near future. My art: my biggest influences in drawing/painting comes from people, fashion, and art. I've always been interested in the way someone looks, their personal expression. Living in NYC specifically Brooklyn It's easy to find someone to draw. There's so many interesting looking people so much creativity here. The fashion part, well I've always been interested , looking at magazines or online blogs, watching runway shows on the internet or tv, and even attending a few shows thanks to my good friend Taira : ) Art, I really have an appreciation for all kinds of art and artistic movements, but overall the German Expressionists are really what I gravitate towards. Mostly the quirky portraits. The loose unapologetic expressive lines and personal qualities. This is what I strive to do with my own artwork.
