Washington-based artist Tyree Callahan transformed and old 1937 Underwood Standard typewriter into a functional painting device he calls a Chromatic Typewriter. He did it by replacing the ink pads of the typewriter with colored paint pads and the letters with color markers. (Source)

Artist Russell Powell creates paintings that can’t be replicated. Russell – who works full time as a first-grade teacher in San Jose, California –  paints stunning realistic portraits on his palms first, and only then stamps them on paper. He has to paint quickly enough so that his medium doesn’t dry, but the stamping showcases Powell’s unique fingerprints, making the images truly one-of-a-kind. Via boredpanda.

Chuck Berry

Rock n Roll was originally Black music.

[king-emare]

thank you

[mentalhealthfemme]

Yes, him and little Richard never get their due smh

[missarrozcongandules1991]

except…chuck berry didn’t invent rock n roll…

Sister Rosetta Tharpe predates both chuck berry and little richard by quite a few years

Two of Tharpe’s hit songs were released in like 1944-45 when Chuck Berry was a) incarcerated and b) still a high school student, Tharpe basically discovered Little Richard, and she’s referred to as the godmother of rock n roll

lol just

throwin that out there

[christel-thoughts]

^^^EXACTLY

but Sister Rosetta was a woman and queer… so Black men will totally overlook her.

[veryfemmeandantifascist]

rock music was created by a black bisexual woman

I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS WOMAN! MUSIC NERDS - EDUCATE ME NOW!

[wicked-bitch-of-thewest-deactiv]

I’m almost positive this is the same woman who actually sang “You Ain’t Nothin But A Hound Dog” first before Elvis stole it…

And her version was BETTER

[ashermajestywishes]

WAIT! WHAT? He didn’t sing that first? I need air and music. Someone tell me more.

[forgotmysafeword]

Big Mama Thornton recorded Hound Dog in 1952.  She is the first.

[violent-darts]

See this just makes that song actually make sense to me for the first time so you know, hat-tip for that, too, you have relieved my endless puzzlement I’ve had since I was a small child.

Wonderful documentary on her life & legacy in rock n roll

Today, March 20th is her birthday so can we just take the time to list some of her amazing accomplishments

- she was one of the very first great gospel artists who crossed over into r&b, rock n roll, and gained mainstream success

- she frequently performed with a racially integrated band

- guitar playing was seen as a “man’s” skill, but that didn’t stop her from beating out many guys in guitar battles at the Apollo

- she may have been one of the first successful black artists to even have a tour bus with her name on it

- this woman literally turned her wedding day into a rock concert for over 20,000 fans

- openly bisexual in her private life

- she sang with little richard in what would be his first public performance at her concert

- she held a successful tour in the UK during the early 1960′s well before the “british invasion” of rock n roll

Stop the erasure of great black bisexual women who literally made history please and thank you.
