Is Julez a budding artistic genius?

Solo hanging out in L.A. with her BFF LaLa Vazquez

Thanks to loyal reader Shana for sending these pics taken by Solange Knowles of her son Julez and his art work.

I see some artistic talent in Julez’s paintings. As a youngster I was a talented artist whose works eventually hung in art galleries in Miami, NY and Atlanta. Click here to see two examples of my pen and ink pointillism drawings from the early 1980s. Artists rarely use the pointillism art style any more, which means creating a drawing with points or dots — no lines. It took me a month to complete that Michael Jackson drawing using tiny dots of ink.

I eventually put down my pens and picked up a camera instead. Like Shana, I hope Solo continues to encourage Julez’s artistic expression.
