Director + Writer + Visual Artist
For the past few months, I’ve been investing more into my art, and I’m so excited to finally have my home art studio up and running!
Just wait until you see what I’ve been creating beyond the digital pieces.

Introducing Studio Chandonae, where art meets storytelling and everything in between.
I designed this logo myself, and I can’t wait to keep creating, sharing my vision, and building experiences that feel alive.

Sketch vs final artwork of my latest work “Wrong Universe, Right Time”
#art #artwork #blackart #blackartist #popart #naiveart #outsiderart
Where’s Batman when the city feels like it’s burning from the inside out?
“Wrong Universe, Right Time” is about that impossible balance...the hope of being saved versus the weight of everything still falling apart.

Spook & Chill is a horror-comedy we made on a micro-budget.
I put together a concise, visual breakdown...including lighting notes, product vs. BTS frames, and settings.
Making this one was so much fun!

It’s been fun mixing all the things I love into my art and playing around with new styles.
This one was a vibe! it reminded me of all the smooth, swaggy basketball players I grew up watching.
Here’s a quick look from sketch to final.

To celebrate finally releasing our spoken word song “It’s Been A Long Time,” I wanted to share a few doodles I made of Chris and me.
You can stream the song everywhere, and the full art collection is coming soon!

“It’s Been A Long Time” Song is now out.
This spoken word piece is the heart of my new collection. It’s raw, reflective, and deeply personal. I wrote it at a time when I was rediscovering my creative voice after years of silence.

This is the teaser for our moody horror comedy short film Spook & Chill, written, produced, shot, and edited by me.
It’s still one of my favorite teasers we’ve ever done, fun, eerie, and stylish in all the right ways.

The NBA being back on NBC gave me all of the nostalgia vibes!
This artwork piece was inspired by the Charlotte Hornets point guard Tre Mann. I saw this photo of him rocking his uniform just like Allen Iverson used to in the early 2000s…baggy shorts, fearless energy, pure swagger.

The How Does It Feel music video is pure art.
That moment was cultural history. It solidified D’Angelo as the ultimate soulful sex symbol. As sensual as it was, the video was tastefully done ,simple, intimate, and masterfully executed.

My latest Artober piece, “Everybody Watching”, is inspired by 90s hoop culture. The loud, packed gyms. The haters on the sidelines. The coach who knows they’ve got a superstar on their hands.
What do y’all think?

I’ve still been experimenting with Outsider/Naïve art, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite styles. I’ve been practicing being intentional while still letting my imagination flow freely.

I’ll be real…trying something completely new was a little scary, and honestly, this piece sucked at first. But I kept at it until I created something I was proud of.
Here is my 2nd Artober piece “Ballin in the City”
a collage tribute to the game of football.

I recently rewatched E.T. and fell in love with it all over again. Steven Spielberg and his team did a phenomenal job using pure cinematic language to tell such a heartfelt story.
So for my first Artober piece, I present to you “I’ll Be Right Here.”

I wasn’t going to share this at first because it’s such a sensitive and emotional piece.
I’m honestly so tired of hearing about mass shootings. We talk about it for a few days, send condolences, and then nothing changes then it happens again.

“She a Hooper” is an ode to my childhood in the 90s and early 2000s. Back when girls on the court had to be NICE just to earn a ounce of respect from the boys. Especially on the concrete. This piece is for that grit, that fire, that fight to be seen.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME!!!
We couldn't think of a better day than Chan's birthday to officially announce our new song "It's Been A Long Time"...also the name of the art collection Chan has been creating.
We can't wait to share more with you soon, but for now just catch these vibes.

Another abstract piece! This one instantly took me back to something I created in college.
The composition feels familiar, but the colors hit different this time, and the lines carry a boldness and confidence that I didn’t have back then.

I’m really feeling this color palette. I usually lean into bold, vibrant colors, but this softer mix works for me
#artwork #art #blackart #blackartist #artist #artlover
My art style is bold, expressive & vivid however, I like doing minimal abstract pieces from time to time.
Soft launch for my art is happening soon!
#art #artist #artwork #blackartist #abstractart #artlovers
Turning the things I love into the art I love to make. Every piece in this series is a little piece of my heart.
My latest art collection will be coming soon, so enjoy the vibes.

The impact of Dion “Prime Time” Sanders on the community and culture is unmatched.
He continues to redefine what’s cool and serves as an inspiration to many. A Prime Time Miracle represents my take on Coach Prime.
