Today’s Principal is simple. Instead of making animated GIFs like I had for the past three days, I decided to give you a picture of two artists that I commissioned to do work for.
Let’s start with a problem: A friend of mine realized that their daughter always want to look like a White character. Sadly, there’s nothing I could say, but there was something I can do… get something with her in it.
So, I commissioned two artists to draw two different pictures. One with her in Frozen and another in Ghostbusters (to my horror, she learned about Ghostbusters via the movie, not the cartoon). Not only did she liked her cartoon selves, it boosted her self-esteem.
So in honor of Ujamaa, the principal which basically spells out “support your own businesses”, I’m going to give you a list of artists to go and support. Now, these are but a small list of artists. We’ll start with the ones I know…
nukirk - Yes, this is me. I do custom graphics and gifs. I’m also an event photographer and a web designer. Photographer jobs must be in NYC or NJ. Graphic design jobs can be done virtually. I design logos as well. (however, FYI, you might want to check my portfolio for aesthetics) T-Shirt designs are coming soon.
geekysideburns - Kristen, the main designer behind the Frozen concept. She’s always busy. Her domain name is digitoonie.com … so I was thrown off by the “geekysideburns” name going on…
mrcontro - Man behind the Ghostbusters concept. Careful, our views differ as he’s more patriotic than I am. But he’s a good friend to have and a man of many styles of cartooning.
jhenne-bean - Literally, she thinks too much. She’s a highly opinionated woman. But she’s got artwork for ya. Now, if I can only get her to talk to me for at least 1 good hour. (5 minutes is all she seems capable of doing.)
threepointonefourmakesxai - Designer/artist of many talents. She’s a makeup artist as well.
freshest-tittymilk - Not sure if she does commissions actively, but I will list her just because she’s one of my… guys, stop it… good friends.
Now… that I got the personal connections out of the way, here are some that I promise promotion for in the past, but didn’t get a chance to… until now. (Sorry, I don’t know them personally, so your results may verify.)
fyblackwomenart - This is a network of black women artists.
hiphopfightsplaque - (Not sure if she’s active)
Okay… and now for the random one…
nedahoyin - she’s actually a model. For hire. Emphasises on the hire part so that you know it means for pay… like everyone else on this list.
(I’m always picking on her. Now she knows why. I pick on artists. Every single one of them.)
I have one request… cash rules everything around me (and them). C.R.E.A.M. gets the work done… dollar dollar billz, y’all!
No money… NO SPEAKY THE FREEIE WORKIE, OKAY?
(Especially me, I will shame you in public. I got the numbers to humiliate you, now, son! I WILL CUT YOU!)
