About Sketch
Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, Sketch is quickly becoming a noted visual illustrator and artist within the entertainment industry. Sketch possesses an uncanny gift of crafting and duplicating picture perfect portraits and images. From humble beginnings, this artist knew as a small child that art was going to be his path to success. Although he was born as Laurence Cheatham, it wasn't long before he gained his new found moniker. Sketch began drawing elaborate pictures as early as five years old and was taught to draw by his own mother. It was a skill that came natural to him and one that he truly loved. Using any available blank space as a canvas of self expression, there was no doubt that his dreams of becoming an artist weren't far from sight.
By age 17, Sketch was already well known and highly respected for his talent in his neighborhood and in school, alike. However, being ambitious and business minded, he was determined to make his mark in the entertainment industry. Cleverly, he began sketching out images and airbrushing portraits of his favorite artists and soliciting them, one by one. Initially, each artist he approached thought he was a fan but these thoughts were immediately expelled once Sketch began to speak. Business savvy, articulate, and charming, Sketch was equipped with the right combination to earn the respect of every artist he approached. From 50 Cent, to LL Cool J, to Janet Jackson, Sketch's work and name as an artist was rapidly spreading throughout the industry by the notable celebrities. Not only did they take notice but Sketch was being summoned and his work was instantly worthy of being commissioned.
It wasn't long before Sketch was invited to be a guest on shows like BET's 106 & Park, Rap City, and G-Unit Radio. BET's 106 & Park host, Rocsi, was featured wearing an original airbrushed portrait of Biggie on a fitted jacket, designed by Sketch. His portrait of Tupac was featured on Rap City for Tupac's Anniversary Tribute. He was also solicited to airbrush a portrait for Biggie's 10th Anniversary. Portraits and personal art work for Eminem, Lil' Mama, The Game, and Remy Ma, among others have been added to his portfolio of unparalleled art.
Sketch is not only a talented artist but he is charismatic. His keen ability to seize opportunity coupled with his delectable personality is what is catapulting this young artist into the public eye as a rising star. Sketch is undeniably gifted and as he sketches out his own vision and journey to success, it won't be long before the world will know his name.
