"Eternal life" by Mandycka A tribute to black men. I dedicate this one to my father who passed away 10 mths ago. As I was creating this piece I was able to reflect upon some fond memories of him. I embraced all my gratitude. How fortunate I was to have this man in my life. He always taught me to take pride in myself, in my skin, and culture. He taught me how eternal life is...How connected we all are.. I felt so much joy in creating a piece that reflects this. R.I.P Daddy 😍 more than words could say!

"Galaxy Girl"

I used the beautiful eyes of Diana Ross as reference for this piece

Galaxy Girl embodies the undeniable fact that we are all powerful creators. That we are connected to everything from the earth to the stars. That true strength lies within our soul.

As a black woman, I also see this illustration as a reflection of recognizing our magic, the power in our "roots".  There has been a lot of controversy over black natural hair. We are moving away from a time when we were taught to look upon our kinky curls as an unsightly attribute. Many of us are now embracing natural hair and finding it uplifting! In this illustration the Afro is the nights sky symbolizing its magic. How it defies gravity, growing up and reaching for the stars.
