The Legacy Tower's Jahmad White Entrance RIP

This door on the Legacy Tower is dedicated to one of the realest young men I ever had the priviledge of knowing, Jahmad White, He was a ghetto superstar so I put the angel wings with his initials and I call the style Angkor.

Stained Glass windows with tracery,(building in progress)

I made these while I was at the Village Inn hostel during January 2010 in New York City. They are made of kukuxumusu erasers cut ot and carved then inlaid with colorful translucent eraser. They are part of a huge building that I'm working on for downtown Goma City
