Then a couple of months ago, I got my biggest and favorite professional assignment.
A set of portraits for the promotional campaign for Top Dog/Underdog.
My Hamilton series assured the CDs I'd be interested in Broadway and my Childish Gambino was used to pitch the producers.
After a huge response to a personal piece I did in response to George Floyd's execution, the team at Buzzfeed News reached out and gave me my first professional assignment where I was asked to "do my thing".
The work started coming.
At first, the interest was more in portraiture, rather than "my" style of portraiture. Still, the plan was starting to pay off.
So I started developing the style more. I even experimented with non-portrait subject matter.
