Artists Who Rock: illumistrations
Introduction
Charles Arrington, and I’m located currently in the DMV area
Type of Art you are known for
I draw all sorts of things, but people have mostly seen my super hero and pop culture drawings based on women of color.
What/ Who Inspires you?
Seeing other artists definitely inspires me, and knowing that I can always be better every single day. My dad who recently passed away is a great inspiration as well. Every day I want to be able to think that I’ve made my dad proud. Other than that, everything inspires me, from music, to movies, photography, comics, video games, even cartoons.
How long have you been an artist?
I’ve been drawing ever since I was 5 to pass the time in class, but I’ve only started to take this whole art thing seriously 9 years ago.
Do you have a fave artist? If so who?
I have soooo many favorite artists and people that I artistically look up to. Naming them all would take forever. But I love the art of LeSean Thomas, I love ActionHankBeard’s (Nuri Durr) art, Ron Ackin’s of Diggys Daily blog on tumblr, Phil Noto, Artgerm, Jim Lee and Ryan Ottley.
Has any of your art been published? If so where?
My art hasn’t been published yet, but I’m definitely working on it!
If you could sum up your art in three words what would they be?
If I could sum up my art in three words, it would be “things I love”.
