“Our Dear Brother, Jimmy”

Since last year I’ve been doing what I have called “playing with paper” experimenting with collage as a medium, mostly in private and exploring the process of constructing images. Much of which I have found to be a meditative practice and only previewed to some occasionally via “Close friends”.

This is a tribute to Our Dear Brother, Jimmy. Its one thing to make a thing, and something else entirely to like or love or be proud of said thing. I turned this image into a print, I wanted to see it up-close. I decided that throughout Black History Month, I’ll make a short run available for purchase in 8 x 10. Link here below for purchase!

Our Dear Brother, Jimmy — Jeary!

| Woman | Model LaChrisha Brown I posted this photo a few months ago to my #vsco and recently it has gotten a lot of love and attention. Vsco selected it "With Honors" to their curated gird page. You can view it here-- https://vsco.co/vsco/collection/goto/59860f1ae0a14970bae3f24a I also wanted to include another still from the same Woman series. Lastly, an artist named Günay Aslan, a digital and mixed media creator was so inspired by the photo that she created this amazing gif of it. Stating: "Your photo was so impressive, there was so much feelings in it.." I love how she brought it to life.
