Hey hey! Guess who's got a lil #Kofi shop!!!
After yesterday's market I genuinely wanted to cry so bad (emotions are still very messy 4 me). I never thought people would look at my art with so much love, and even BUY MY PRINT??!!
So uhh... if you'd like to help me continue pursing my #GameDev journey, please do consider buying my art 🖤 ❤️

If I could, I would be getting down to the Royal Academy in London to see the Kerry James Marshall exhibition;
Marshall has been one of the key proponents of black figuration - the use of figurative forms to represent & portray that black experience in America & beyond.
If you've been excluded or sidelined in the history or figurative art, you're not so interested in abstraction & new forms, but rather in being seen;
Marsshall's work does that!

[My Father's Applause]
Dang this piece was one of my earliest "serious works". This was at a really low point in my file, mentally, spiritually, and being in predominantly white spaces because of my interests.
I felt constantly depressed as I became aware of the realities and horrors of the world around me.
I am a lot better now. Time does a lot to the person. Being in black anach spaces really healed me a lot.
[I Caught The Black Sun]
Woahhh! This is probably the most free and confident with my art and ability to work quickly and precisely.
Shout out to my my love for pushing me to not hold back my creativity.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SOMETHING INSANELY BEAUTIFUL WITH NO GUILT
i am learning that i am beautiful. im learning to not feel guilt for feeling joy. i am learning the deapths of all my love. i feel a lot lighter as of late.

Sure, music is for everyone, but it’s important to hear what Black people think and feel about music made by other Black people. I published this article, written by Sean Padilla, about the band DEATH in issue 5 of #ShotgunSeamstress shortly after their docu and reissued LP came out. We’ve known that Black folks invented rock’n roll but the discovery of DEATH taught us that we were #punk innovators, too. #zine #zines#BlackArt #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi
