Visual Art – Philadelphia

www.americanqueentjd.com I am about making art w/ a message. I want to show this series to the world & w/ Raw\'s help I know I will pass along a positive message. Growing up in Philly, I can remember running to the TV to watch Sat. morning cartoons with my sketchpad & as I would sit and watch, I stared intensely hoping to sketch the characters as best I could. I believe some of my first sketches were of flowers, the Looney Tunes and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. However, most days I would sit imagining things that I wanted my life to look like and I would draw my dream house, car and family. More importantly, as years went on & I grew older I remember that during school, in every class I would even sketch my teachers, classmates and the environment until 1 day someone started to refer to me as an artist. Not knowing the real meaning behind the title “artist” or where all this creative energy was coming from, art class was definitely my favorite class & art is still my fav. gift to share.
