He once developed a graphic novel rendition of Elie Wiesel’s soul shifting life chronicle, Night for his English Literature class assignment; greatly moved by Mr. Wiesel’s experiences detailed by the author’s time living through the holocaust. Rashaad provides visual interpretations he saw in the memoir to give readers to view the journey of the author’s memories of the era.
He also wrote a report on medieval weaponry used in great measure during the fourteenth century for his English Literature assignment. He found the morningstar the most interesting out of all medieval combat gear because of its rugged, minimalist design. His output differingly ranges from soul chilling scenes to high energy and psychedelic elements . Many of which derived from evocative obscure dreams.
Due to a love of nature and botanical life, and his admiration for the Autumn Sesasons; D. Rashaad further incorporates a vast arsenal of vibrant elegantly crafted seasonal color motifs to deliver dimension and emotion to half of his art catolog .
He is currently developing a short film entitled “45/50” based on an original story, to be completed by the latter part of 2019
