Me and My Old Man Superheroes Animation Character Design

Lepke Kartel Illustration



 Here is an illustration I did for the Lepke Kartel Clothing Co.

Louis "Lepke" Buchalter was an American mobster and head of the Mafia hit squad Murder, Inc. during the 1930s. After Dutch Schultz's request of the Mafia Commission for permission to kill his enemy, U.S. Attorney Thomas Dewey, the Commission decided to kill Schultz after Schultz disobeyed the Commission by trying to carry out the hit after it had been rejected. Buchalter assigned Calabrian immigrant Albert Anastasia to assassinate Schultz.

Barricade Boi Illustration



Barricade Boi is an illustration that represents the self doubt that we put in our heads. If we are not careful, self doubt can block us from reaching the goals that we set for ourselves. It has the power of putting our minds in a psychological basement. Self doubt will then block us from getting out. What we have to do is look past the self doubt to see the exit sign. Once we see the exit, we will then know the path needed to take to get out of that psychological basement.
