Oh, ma haya!!


I call this "Oh, ma haya!!". It is done from a photo I took on Third Street in Memphis, Tn. When I asked the young girl if I could take her photo, She grabbed her head and that's what she shouted.  I'm very proud of this and think it's one of the best things I've done.

Here's the original photo. Notice I added the awning and cooler, but it's still true to the original, I think only better. That's the great thing about doing something original, I can choose to make it what ever my imagination tells me.

Louie Armstrong

I drew this picture of Louie Armstrong when I was 16. I gave it to my grandfather, John Wesley Ashworth, Sr. after finishing it. He was extremely proud of it and hung it in his den. He passed away two years ago at age 97 and I got it back. I've always loved his expression. This was done in Pastel from an album cover. I must not have had an eraser, notice the white blotches near his ear and forehead. I remember I slipped and got color where I didn't want it and used the white to mask it. Live and learn.
