This is a portrait of Jelani Azizi Rose, the Captain of Trader Joe's in Brooklyn, New York.
His favorite Marvel Comic's character is Iron Man.
I painted this portrait of Jelani in Iron Man's armor as a present and thank you gift. Jelani is a kind, understanding, and loving person to whomever gets to know him.

As a side business, I made custom hedgehog candles made using 100% beeswax and essential oils like lemongrass, lavender, and eucalyptus.

I make them with my own molds and sell them through Etsy.com
