Littleton S. Irby was born in Inwood, on Long Island, in New York. In fourth grade, he was forced to see the school psychiatrist three times a week, for two years for submitting a petition to the principal to have the men’s rest room cleaned regularly.
He saved $40,000 in tuition after becoming a resident of Iowa State working a full-time job and school half the time. He graduated with a BS from Iowa state University, with a minor in Fine Arts and Business. He attended the Academy of Art College, San Francisco, and was the second black male to become GM to 250 employees at a 7.6- million-dollar fine dining restaurant in the East Bay of California. At 49, he decided to work full time as a visual artist. Littleton has published artwork in three exhibitions and two books and wrote three book journals on the Best Seller list. His reliance on color theory and cleaner brush strokes drip emotions, using reverse color theory to transform values that influence beliefs and choices. He uses the opposite of what society has taught everyone to show how uncomfortable life can be when you are represented as evil.

This image is a closer version of the most beautiful item we have in our tool of drawing . The diagonal positive up slopping line. It is the most over looked instrument that creates interest and one swoop can denote energy and style and connection. I try to use it to help with my mundane. The essence of my art is that it challenges your perceptions of good and bad and your judgment on black and white. In terms of my work, light is bad and dark is good, so if you want to understand it, you must surrender.
