QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Who says Black is not irrevocably beautiful. As is every other color on the planet. The shame is in any one being ostracized or diminished. Any one of god’s uttered iterations deafened is a muting of the entire palette…”

Donwill- Don Cusack In High Fidelity
Donwill of the rap group Tanya Morgan, released his solo effort today. Since I contributed to some of the album art, I got a copy a while ago. I’ve been wearing that jawn out since I got it.

BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY!

Stay tuned for the finished product…

Sketch of the Day: THE PREDATOR
I had lots of fun sketching this one. This is a sketch of one my favorite movie characters growing up.
Stan Winston designed the Predator. All of his character designs were amazing. His designs always fed my imagination as a kid. I think the next few Sketches of the Day will be based on all my favorite movie character designs I liked growing up.
If you don’t know who Stan Winston is,...

I AM: THE NU BLACK
Last summer I met this dope London-based graphic designer by the name of Gabrielle Smith at an exhibit I participated in. She designs t-shirts and also runs her own website: I Am the Nu Black. I encourage you all to visit and see what goes on there. It’s very inspiring and forward thinking.
Last week she hooked me up with her latest t-shirt design. She even threw in some cool ass...
