Greedmont Park is now launching our first monthly artist competition to find some badass artists who know how to murder it creatively, and what better way to find some real killers than through some healthy competition. This is a sucka free competition. The themes are meticulously designed to weed out suckas and jive ass turkeys who bring shame to the game, while bringing out epic creativity from awesome visionaries who don’t simply phone it in.
Before you submit your artwork, or even get started, ask yourself ”WOULD CHUCK NORIS APPROVE OF MY ARTWORK?” Is your art good enough that Samuel L. Jackson would give you a fist pound? Would Rambo hang it on his wall? If you answered NO to any of those questions, then you aint’ bringing the thunder.
[Theme:] Take a sissy, lovely dovey chick flick, from the selected list, and ’REMIX’ it into a “BADASS GRINDHOUSE” styled movie poster. Simple! The works will be judge on creativity, awesomeness, execution but mostly how BADASS they are.
[Movie List] 1.) Juno 2.) The Notebook 3.) Legally Blonde 4.)The Devil Wears Prada 5.) Brokeback Mountain 6.) Punch-Drunk Love. 7.) Save the Last Dance

For the past week, I have been designing , illustrating and laboring over a new splash page for my website. Splash screen is a term used to describe an image that appears while a computer program is loading. It may also be used to describe an introduction page on a website.
Now, that I’ve got a hold on it and it’s nearly complete… I’ve realize WHY do I need a splash page. I hate when websites have useless splash page. The only thing worst than a flash page is a stupid Flash intro. If you have A flash intro delete it because people only look at it long enough to press the “skip button. Though my works is super Awesome, I have to admit I can’t use this. Sometimes you gotta know when to hold…and gotta know when to fold em. I’m folding on the splash page . What a waste of time, but did give me some ideas on how to actually customize my wordpress. I guess I might salvage some of this work for other things, but here is what I’m working with. thanks. - Joshua

I’m really looking forward to starting this new project with Russel Gunn, two time nominated contemporary Neo-bop jazz musician, known primarily for his awesome trumpet playing. He is a regular at Atlanta’s ChurchillgroundsJazz Bar and generally holds down Thursday nights. He asked me to design the cover art for his upcoming album, and looks to be a promising and exciting adventure. I’m very excited, and he is a guy who let’s creatives do what they do best. Respect.

A character design for a future project for a possible short story I might be working on. Crash is an adventure photographer, jet-setting playboy who has the swagger of James Bond and the drive of Indian Jones. TO BE CONTINUED!

This was commission I did for digital fashion magazine. It was quite a tedious piece, not cause it was actual difficult to create, but just had too many creative hands working on this. Made me realise I need to put a cap on revisions…cus man’ do I hate revisions (that are so tedious and pointless). Sometimes I wish people can just let me do my thing. But can’t dwell on the past. Move Forward! I liked it, and pretty happy with the final results.

I decide to do a new business card and go more into the cute and whimsical direction. My mom was trying to secure me some new contract and gave my older card, that was on the provocative die, and was to crunk for some people. So, not wanting to alienate and sell myself short, I need to adapt and make something some what conservative, but with a slight edge. Here is the out come. Thanks. – Joshua
