Dieselfunk Studios Presents: MATTY’S ROCKET BOOK 1 - Dieselfunk Studios

Greetings Dieselfunkateers! Tim Fielder here. It is my distinct pleasure, and the pleasure of the Dieselfunk Studios team to present MATTY’S ROCKET BOOK ONE.

NYTIMES: BLACK METROPOLIS & MATTY’S ROCKET

Greetings Dieselfunkateers!   Over the last 7 months an awesome amount of work was done by writer goddess Ruth La Ferla on the subject of Afrofuturism in The NEW YORK TIMES article titled 

Afrofuturism: The Next Generation

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/12/fashion/afrofuturism-the-next-generation.html

Covered within the article is my one man show, ‘BLACK METROPOLIS:  30 Years of Afrofuturism, Comics, Music, Animation,  Decapitated Chickens, Heroes, Villains, and, and Negroes.   and my retro-afrofuturism comic, Matty’s Rocket!

As I have been a participant of the form for over 30 years, it is indeed a moving emotion that comes to bear.  BLACK METROPOLIS, and MATTY’S ROCKET represents my particular take on the depiction of black culture within a technological and socially expansive based Past, Present, and FUTURE of WHO and WHAT WE ARE.  

Expect MORE NEWS to come over the coming days with a behind the scenes expose on Black Metropolis, Matty’s Rocket, Afrofuturism, Dieselfunk, Dieselfunk Studios, INFINITUM, The Dieselfunk Store, and The Black Speculative Arts Movement.

I want to thank Ruth La Ferla, Boston Fielder, Ed Marshall Photography, Richardine Bartee, Genesis Rivera, Sabaah Folayan, Reynaldo Anderson, Angelica Rogers, Keith Miller, Meredith Theeman, Liza Jesse Peterson and last but most certainly not least, My FAMILY.

BLACK METROPOLIS VOL. 1 in Progress!  GREETINGS DIESELFUNKATEERS!  IMAGINE A CITY THAT’S BLACK!  Been a while...say 20 years since I’ve uttered those words.  My long in-gestation project, Black Metropolis is being assembled.  30 plus years of artwork ranging from the personal, the commercial, to the sublime is being assembled.  We have captured over a thousand photos to select from which will be ultimately spread over two volumes.  Several of the pieces will be featured in the upcoming Schomburg Museum Afrofuturism show curated by John Jennings and Reynaldo Anderson.  Special thanks to Mayo and Sean for their tireless work.  Standby Folks!
