"True and Living"

these and more styles for men and women are available in the store at Ziontific.com.

so, i'm in the process of getting my stores ready for the Holiday rush when yesterday, i changed my profile picture to the sketch "True and Living", and suddenly got a ton of friend requests, as well as a few messages and comments, including demands to make this available on tee-shirts.

so here they are!

feel free to look around the stores when you get there... and as always, if you take a picture with one of my products, i'll post the pics here!

happy shopping!

Buffalo Soul (Update)...

Buffalo Soul by samax. hand drawn, colored/finished with Illustrator

research sketch, ballpoint pen, sharpie

what's up fam!
here's an illustrator joint i finished recently called "Buffalo Soul", commisioned by one of my clients. "Buffalo Soul" is about the Buffalo Soldiers, the black division in the U.S. military before it was integrated. the term "buffalo soldier" was coined by native americans to describe these rawkus brown dudes they kept seeing on the battlefields...

original drawing for final design, pencil

in doing my research for this, i got into the subject! originally applied to the members of the U.S. 10th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army, the term Buffalo Soldier eventually encompassed the U.S. 9th Cavalry Regiment, U.S. 10th Cavalry Regiment, 24th Infantry Regiment and the 25th Infantry Regiment

you can learn more about the buffalo Soldiers at http://www.buffalosoldier.net/

as always let me know what y'all think!

peace,

samax.
