Absolutely incredible >>> Repost @bisabutler ・・・ The Passion of Questlove, the details and the process! The New York Times Magazine @nytmag My quilted portrait of Ahmir Thompson otherwise known as Questlove is on the cover of the famed New York Times Magazine culture issue, print edition comes out in the Sunday edition of @nytimes 10/17/21 Check out the incredible writer Jazmine Hughes @jazzloon feature article! Thank you again to@questlove for allowing me to create your portrait. Thank you Annie Jen @annie76828 , Jake Silverstein and the whole team at @nytmag @nytimes *there is zero paint on this artwork Cotton, silk, lace, velvet and glass seed and bugle beads. Quilted and appliquéd I included African fabrics with motifs to illustrate Questlove’s name ; the heart, Philadelphia on his lapels, drums and vinyl records to celebrate @theroots . The colors selected were influenced by the set from the Summer of Soul documentary @summerofsoulmovie - I do not own this music! - video by my loving husband @johnnyjbutler_ - African Dutch wax fabric by @vlisco -domestic printed cottons from @freespiritfabrics - thread by @superiorthreads #newyorktimes #newyorktimesmagazine #questlove #theroots #cultureissue #summerofsoulmovie https://www.instagram.com/p/CVMhr3tPyR1/?utm_medium=tumblr
