		<description><![CDATA[<p>A couple years back my good friend Qimmah and I sat down in a Starbucks and brainstormed ideas about kids books. One of those lightning bolts was Charlie &#38; His Imaginary Friend, a tale about a boy, a giraffe and the many misadventures they&#8217;re imaginations takes them on. Fast forward to the future and we&#8217;re now pushing head long to raise funding to bring this book to life.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Every once and a while you will find yourself in a mindset that will carry your creativity through a stretch where all you want to do is manifest your ideas into the physical realm. This feeling is amazing, you seem invincible and every idea feels like its solid gold. This feeling can be intoxicating and somewhat overwhelming&#8230;</p>

<p>I had a burst of that this morning. <span id="more-1189"></span></p>

<p>For the last 2 weeks I&#8217;ve been hard at work wrapping up the new <a title="Mosaic Metallica 2012" href="http://www.beanpye.com/" target="_blank">beanpYe.com</a> website for Sabrina Thompson. If that name sounds familiar its because I&#8217;ve worked with her on the <a href="http://www.weenonline.org/" target="_blank">WEEN</a> branding and more recently with her new <a title="Kuu Photography" href="http://www.popephoenix.com/portfolio/kuu-photography/" target="_blank">KUU Photography</a> company. Its always a pleasure working with her and I&#8217;m looking forward to our next project together.</p>
<p>This is the first website I&#8217;ve ever built using <a href="http://www.opencart.com/" target="_blank">OpenCart</a> and found it to be quite &#8230;</p>]]></description>

<p><em>I wrote this three years ago and the message still rings true so I decided to repost it. Let me know what you think.</em></p>
<p>A simple question with a difficult answer. This question was posed to me by an ad for School of Visual Art&#8217;s Continuing Education a few years back. At first it meant nothing to me, just another poster on the way to work. During the course of riding the train each morning &#8230;</p>]]></description>

<p>This is one of my favorite illustrations its called &#8220;Feel My Pain.&#8221; In it a guy has his new air force ones scuffed on his first day wearing them out side. A tragedy without a doubt. You&#8217;ve seen this piece before but now for the first time I&#8217;m sharing with you a piece of planning of this artwork. I super imposed the original sketch on top of the actual artwork (somewhat) to show how it &#8230;</p>]]></description>

<p>By definition style is a particular, distinctive, or characteristic mode of action or manner of acting. To me style  is a definition of who you are as an artist. Many things help shape that definition such as where you studied your craft, which artists inspire you the most as well as what constitutes art in your eyes.</p>

<p>Growing up I&#8217;ve met all types of artists:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Carbon Copy:</strong> someone who mirrors their work so closely to someone else that it&#8217;s hard to tell the two </li>&#8230;</ul>]]></description>

<p>Because the alternative is unacceptable. I&#8217;ve worked my entire adult life. Even part of teenage years starting at age 14. I&#8217;ve worked for small businesses and large corporations. I even did a stint working for a non-profit for 5 years. At each opportunity the outcome was the same, either I walked away or I was asked to leave.</p>
<p>Most people shun the times they were fired but I wear them as a badge of honor. &#8230;</p>]]></description>

<p>There are many things that I excel at: Illustration, graphic design, making women laugh, playing <a title="Popephoenix Starcraft Stats" href="http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/583976/1/Popephoenix/" target="_blank">StarCraft 2</a>, <a title="Day 003: Azailia" href="http://blog.popephoenix.com/2010/01/day-3-azailia/" target="_blank">being a good dad</a>&#8230; The one thing that has always escaped me these many years has been my ability to paint. My skill in that is god awful. I&#8217;ve tried time and time again and I just get frustrated. So over the weekend. I bought a set of acrylic paints, brushes and a pad with the &#8230;</p>]]></description>

<p>If you&#8217;ve been following my Facebook Page <a title="The Atlas of Pope" href="https://www.facebook.com/PopeArtist" target="_blank">The Atlas of Pope</a>, You would get the latest info on new projects that I create. Lately I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of T-Shirt design and <a title="Prohibition NYC" href="http://blog.popephoenix.com/2011/11/prohibition-nyc/">art shows</a>. I&#8217;ve decided to create more art on a more frequent basis with hopes of keeping my work circulating and your interest high. First up is my <a title="Carmen Sandiego" href="http://www.redbubble.com/people/popephoenix/works/8079752-carmen-sandiego-everybody-wanna-find-her">Carmen Sandiego shirt</a> inspired by a meme I saw last week with &#8230;</p>]]></description>

<p><a title="Prohibition NYC" href="http://www.prohibition-nyc.com" target="_blank">Prohibition NYC</a> will be my fourth show this year. That sounds amazing every time I say it. I&#8217;ve been working really hard on projects to get them up to par for these shows and I&#8217;m really proud of this new show I&#8217;m apart of. This will be my second show working with the fine  folks over at <a title="Whiskey Glass Studios" href="http://whiskeyg.com/" target="_blank">Whiskey Glass Studios</a>  as we build our relationship our shows become tighter in theme, concept and execution.  Exploring &#8230;</p>]]></description>
