I am Yuyanda

After a brief conversation with my friend Jason Ng, who told me about his new designer clothing brand  u9ly Avenue  I told him about these designs and how I thought they would make cool T-shirts. I used the assets from a project I did with London Bus-Tops over the London 2012 Olympic Games, check out the  Behance project  I'm hoping we'll be able to work together in the future. The designs are now available to buy on my  Redbubble  &  Society6  stores Yuyanda's Blog of Art and Design, Animation and Illustration. 2020. All Rights Reserved.

The only thing I regret is being myself That senseless scent of self. A familiar smell to the nose It lingers, it comes and goes. Shaking my head with regret A mind to a devil's pet, Trained for breaking heads. You can't run away from yourself I did something... My soul knows it doesn't belong My regret confirms it to be wrong. Face reality with change And embrace the pain Pick up what remains And start over again. So go ahead, Shake your head in regret A mind to a devil's pet. Go ahead

I'm currently painting a commissioned portrait I drew a while back in Photoshop CS6 using the "clipping mask" layer feature. The effect basically means that whatever I paint above the lineart layer will only show through the layer below or clipped to. So far so good but it's pretty painstaking due to the shear detail in my line work. Looking to finish this up early September time. Yuyanda's Blog of Art and Design, Animation and Illustration. 2017.

"Inspired by the love for my little sisters, each portrait was hand painted in mono minimalist fashion and evolved creatively each time. Their names from left to right are Zimara, Jamila and Opia. My vision was not to create a caricature instead simplicity is what echoes through, enhancing the features making them more beautiful and stylized."
