About the Artist

MOHAMMED MUBARAK

The artist, also known as Anthony Quisenberry, began his painting career in 1970 through the inspiration of his uncle, Arthur Dunlap Jr., the very talented pencil and ink portrait artist and also through the motivation of the great oil portrait artist David Mosely.

Without any formal training, over the years he has developed into one of the world’s formidable portrait artists.

In early 1974 he began studying radio at the Los Angeles School of Broadcasting and eventually obtained an FCC license for broadcast radio. After a brief stint of doing public service announcements and commercials at KJLH FM, he began focusing on his natural talent which led him to be commissioned by the late Redd Foxx, Rev. Ike and Stevie Wonder who called upon him to design the cover for his album “Hotter Then July”.

He is known in the world of boxing and has been commissioned by many sport figures including the likes of boxing promoter Don King, Oscar De LaHoya, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, and the current world welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.

He has also been commissioned by L.A. Sentinel News publisher Danny Bakewell, entertainer Barry White, and talk show host Tavis Smiley.
