Six years ago, my original Christmas stories began with Hubble, a penguin who wished he could fly. In the years that followed, I gave you Candy Cane (the striped giraffe in search of a friend), Piph (pronounced “Piff,” a snow-white elephant in search of belonging), Toff and Tot (the flamingos that found love in one…

New Art in Neon Layers, Pt. 2
Continuing my bright and bold color trend, I present two new pieces of art! The first, inspired by “California Dreamin’” as performed by Sia for the upcoming blockbuster San Andreas (2015), is an externalization of internal conflict. I wanted there to be a blending of dark and stormy elements mixed with peaceful imagery and bright,…
New Art in neon layers
It’s no secret that for the past year, I’ve been creating layered art pieces. I’ve wanted to play with textures and bright colors. In February of this year, I started thinking of art – and my life, really – in terms of bold color and choices. With this post, I present three bright and boldly…
New Art in February: “February Joy” to “Burning Desire”
Happy last day of February! At the beginning of this month, I presented a piece of art titled February Joy, which was extremely well-received (the piece even fetched a couple purchase offers – will it sell?). Designed after pieces titled Moondust, I’ll Keep Loving You and Falling (see those pieces – and more – here), February Joy was supposed to represent my return to bright, bold…
New Art & Poetry: February Joy and Morning Glory
It’s February… Last month (and this year) began in the most cinematic way possible – a way that inspired joyous art and life. Then, clouds moved in to rest before the sun – and that shadow was cast into my work. From there, the rain stopped and a fire was sparked, its flame slowly began to grow…
New Art | The Faces of Elephants
It’s been just about a month since I’ve shared any new art with you – that’s because I’ve been busy working on various other projects (ex. Boug & S’More: A Swamp Tale [novel] and a poetic sexual odyssey), which you could note by following me on twitter or Instagram (@TheBobbyJames). Yesterday I managed to create two…
New Art: Nina, Mya and Queen Isis
Last week, there was a bit of a clown craze. This week, I’m tackling sexy. The three pieces I present here, Mya, Nina, and Queen Isis, all began with an idea for hair. Nina was first in this group. On my wall there’s a Marilyn Monroe poster. I looked at that to draw inspiration, but…
New Art: Enter the Circus!
I’m on a clown craze lately! I’m beginning to think I’m designing creepy clowns to overcome my fear of them? I have to prepare for the upcoming Freakshow season of American Horror Story, after all. That said, there are a few pieces to introduce to the new (organically so) collection! First I’ll begin with Burlesque. …
New Art: Spray!
Guess what? I drew an ELEPHANT! That should come as no surprise. The true surprise of Spray! though is that upon finishing the outline, I hated this piece – but, instead of scrapping the piece altogether, I had an instinct to make it work. I added a squiggle here and there, some contrasting lines and…
New Art: In the Garden
I spent the last couple days working on a new piece titled In the Garden. After receiving some feedback that people would like to see my work feature more women, I decided to deliver. In the Garden is a piece I hope translates to represent serenity and beauty. After sketching the image, I took a break to decide the color…
