Dig If You Will The Artwork Of Demont Peekaso
Anyone who has bought a Raheem DeVaughn CD or been to one of his concerts is already familiar with the work of artist Demont Peekaso. His artwork graced the cover of DeVaughn's debut CD The Love Experience, and Peekaso tours with him as a member of the band, painting live on stage while Raheem sings.
To see this man in action is truly amazing. At DeVaughn's recent Washington, D.C. concert, Peekaso finished not one but two paintings during the almost 90-minute set. We really don't know why we're shocked, however, seeing that we've witnessed Peekaso paint a mural during another concert. This brotha is bad. We don't know how he does what he does, but he produces one-of-a-kind visual masterpieces on the regular.
Check out these flicks of Demont's artwork from DeVaughn's September 12th D.C. show. The paintings on the top row are the ones that he completed on stage that night. See, we told you he was bad.To see this man in action is truly amazing. At DeVaughn's recent Washington, D.C. concert, Peekaso finished not one but two paintings during the almost 90-minute set.

I first became aware of Raheem when he opened for New Edition and Brian McKnight a few years back. He was great, but what really struck me was the painter. He had painted all sorts of things, including the iconic photo of Chaka Khan in the red sundress and the big hat from her first solo album. All of the paintings displayed along the edge of the stage, and the ones he created during the set, created great atmosphere. I thought that was such a good look ... Raheem amd Demont are on point.
