I've been drawing since I was a kid, just something I always loved to do. I do it because it's fun to me, allows me to create and express, and comes naturally.

  Rastaman Iration

  This is my "Rastaman Iration" design. Just a close up picture of a rastaman in deep meditation. I wanted to keep the idea itself real simple and just have all the emotion and "action" be in his face. Don't know if I did it, but I think it's one of my favorites...www.cafepress....
