Ebony & JET no more??

Ebony & JET no more??

  I was given an option of free magazine subscriptions and I did not see any of Johnson Publications, I was on the hook to them for almost a year, and when I went to cancel it took a little bit more time than I thought. Pissed now I started to look back and am hurt that the publications my mom loved my whole family loved, could be sold off including all the wonderful imagery from throughout the…

The Oath

I recently watched A film titledv The Oath, has a subject similar to real life and burning of the city in lousiana. I would be an idiot to think that this was no parody but a life of subreddits overlooked by the authorities. Scary, hell yeah, stoppable I dont know about that, but how do we explain the facts of “good” black people are trying to produce. It is not dimenishing the life of white…

Highest Regards + Encouragement

I believe genius is presented by God, and we all know, God–is perfect. Whatever your feelings of a higher power, and how things come to be visual artist, like myself; care how things come to be. There are some who act as if shit will never get done and in order to complete something you must cut corners and extract the quality from the project. I disagree.

A colleague reminded me of this…

I am so Grotesk

I am so Grotesk

In1439 movable type was created, 300 years later a swing that chopped the extras away from the same letters people learned to love had now become something else, Grotesque.  I like to imagine an upset European in his European voice repulsively screaming like a child  EEWWW! What more can you expect from beloved friends now lying still on a page with no feet or legs? In America, once the change to…

I was privileged to make the third week of “Unloaded” at the Marcia Wood Gallery. Some how I found time to make it into Atlanta, during the week, and over to Clover Hill. I had only seen the building on Google earth till today and my first take was an expected one, I was looking for the beautifully restored typography on the building. Once found I hit the buzzer for entry, than made a phone call for entry, and finally I got in they are busy people.

It took me about a half- hour to make it through the first section. The gallery is set up with in two buildings and small sculpture park in between the two where art is observed in the elements. If you’ve seen the baby bear sculpted out of ammunition, found in some of the advertisements there are two others similar to it here in the park. The rain didn’t allow me to see those without a plastic covering. The second building is full of the dashboard sponsored Atlanta-Based art. In there is a video installation with loud “bangs,” and “pops,” what you would expect at a Gun Show. The height of the second building I would have to say are the photography. Photos bring out the reality of gun culture, humans are the most affected by it; and photos are the print making of our reality. We had a tumultuous fall/winter in 2016 with gun deaths in America. Gun reform, 2nd amendment rights are always in the fore front. This exhibit makes our love affair with preserving life, clear. It puffs out the chest of  those who aim to protect, and deflates the bubble with which some live in who believe guns have no use in modern society.  Remember playing with sticks growing up “bang, bang.”

This exhibit is more than expected. It will stay on exhibit until the twentieth of May get out there and experience it for your self. I grabbed some photos but because I want folks to see the show I am only going to show some of what I enjoyed; you got to show up if you want more.

#riverstonedominos #chalklettering Cinco de Mayo—or the fifth of May—is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations.
