“A powerful amalgam of urban culture, political propaganda and comic books, SOL•SKETCHES™ isn’t something you can spoon-feed to the masses and yet it’s attractive enough to adorn your walls. Go get your mind turned upside down.”

ABOUT THE ARTIST
SOL•SKETCHES™ Owner & Visual Artist Stanley Slaughter Jr (s.dot.slaughter) was born in Detroit, Michigan. His Visual Artwork is influenced by his two passions - Music and cultural enlightenment through the arts. In 1980, responding to a “Call For Young Artists,” s.dot.slaughter received his first scholarship from the Wayne State University: Center for Creative Studies (CCS) located in Detroit, Michigan. An analysis of Art History and Artistic Theory shaped the young artist's understanding of form, color and individual expressionism.
In 1986, s.dot.slaughter received a second scholarship to attend the prestigious Parsons School of Art & Design (formerly Otis-Parsons) located in Los Angeles, California. While attending both CCS and Parsons, s.dot.slaughter began to formulate his unique style and understanding of his soul. Currently, SOL•SKETCHES™ artwork is widely published and distributed throughout the United States and International venues attracting admiration from fellow artists and collectors alike. Currently, Slaughter is a visual artist and educator who resides in Las Vegas, Nevada with his daughter.
