No really, guys. Artist credit goes a long way in helping out the artist, even online.

I’ve come across a lot of pages supporting black artists but I also see a lot of unnamed models, designers, photographers, illustrators, etc. It’s great that you support us, but TYPE OUT OUR NAMES when you are posting about us. Just because our signature or face is on the work, doesn’t mean people know who we are. Actually support us by writing out our names so that we can be found and that our work doesn’t get circulated around unnamed. Especially if your platform is geared specifically towards supporting black artists. Artists are more than general content. Use their names. 😐
