Take me into paradise Here I am in paradise

no dmca/copyright for almost any of my songs besides edamame, lalala & gravy collabs. gamers, animators, etc… go crazy 💅 go make your bag 🙂‍↕️ check & two r good to go aswell

Rant: I am at my wits end with these artists and graphics designers trying to get me to commission them. It's clear I cant afford it nor do I want to commission them because I already have someone to do my art. I get them once every 5 days and i get them on discord too. It's infuriating.

Dot using SZA, “Luther,” and “All The Stars” to fit the narrative that “crossing over” means being palatable. Every song fit into a greater narrative about the “great American game” that Black people must play in order to survive and thrive. That’s a SICK way to do a SUPERBOWL HALFTIME PERFORMANCE.

The U.S. Army and U.S. Navy have removed all web pages highlighting women’s military service. Weak men always fear and are threatened by strong women. I’ll never regret voting for VP Kamala Harris.

"The revolution is about to be televised. You picked the right time but the wrong guy." Kendrick Lamar 🔥🔥🔥 #SuperbowlHalftime

🚨Kanye West spent 7 million dollars on a Super Bowl ad to promote a website that has 1 product on it. Can you guess what the product is? A single white t shirt with a $w@$tika on it…disgusting. And yes the website is still up…

Marshawn Lynch should def have a mic. Get Tom Brady outta there.

Happy Black History Month! Kendrick Lamar, Sza, Serena Williams, and Samuel L. Jackson in the Super Bowl halftime show. And Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles up 24-0 at halftime. ✊🏾

Ima tell you why I loved that performance. Kenny coulda very easily came with a greatest hits setlist but he kept it focused on GNX… an elevated GNX performance to support the album/tour. They made the type of Super Bowl show that Dot would do.

One thing we can do to challenge systemic barriers in the publishing industry is throw our support behind Black and brown people in publishing. Here’s an author I want you to do that for. Go pre-order this incredible fantasy! When it launches next month, I’ll be hosting a buddyread! a.co/d/3kfTynC

I feel like I can't even ask for monetary support for my art rn, because people have bigger issues *gestures to the world on fire* to deal with at the moment.

I just learned that American Heart Association declares Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" has the perfect tempo to do chest compressions to while performing CPR, which gives a whole new meaning to the lyrics, "Ayy, mustard on the beat, ho"

This art shit gets a lot easier when u realize theyre just Shapes. Ur just drawing Shapes

My favorite Grammy moment was folks booing Snoop. I hope he woke up stressed this morning. Amen.

Canada just signed a trade deal with Ecuador so the orange juice options will increase now Florida Oranges aren't being bought. Oasis is a Canadian brand in the mean time and Minute Maid is bottled here using Brazilian oranges.

5 ways to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth (cause the fed govt doesn’t run your house) 1. Find out what Sojourner Truth REALLY said 2. Buy a Black horror, scifi or fantasy book 3. Listen to “Naima” by John Coltrane 4. Send the victims of the LA fires in Altadena a few coins 5. Get a library card

May the spirit of Kendrick Lamar inspire me to be pettier than I have ever been, for he hath shown me that spite can topple giants. Amen. #Blacksky

...check up on yo strong friends...

Being more and more able to draw what's in your head is like one of the best feels ever!! I just love drawing so much!! 💖🔥

"artists excel in difficult times and make great art" Bro, I can barely post my art let alone make any.

I’m going to introduce you all to Pay To Win, it’s my main portfolio of work. This is something that I’ve been working on since high school. I’ll be posting art from 2019-2023 for the next few post. #blackskygamers #artistsofblacksky #creatorsofblacksky #oluwahart

I’m afraid to use this platform, because I don’t know how my art will be received. I haven’t actually tried to be a notable artist since I flunked out of SCAD in 2019. What is bravery if you don’t do the journey engulfed in fear. #blackskygamers #artistsofblacksky #creatorsofblacksky #oluwahart

Hello friend! I was Raised by a European trained artist mom with an art degree! You’re actually experiencing a really shiddy part of capitalism that convinces artists they must be 100% individualistic and unique. There has never been a unique thought and that’s okay! Make whatever you want! 👍

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

People create more when their lives are stable and they are happy and therefore, able to sit down and focus on being creative because they don't have to worry about Every Other Little Thing. People under extreme stress are much less likely to do that because they have other things to prioritize.

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

You're not going to be able to draw everything perfectly in your comic, ur gonna have weird looking cars or buildings, or hands- And i want you to know that's fine Readers spend seconds per panel- as long as things are clear narratively, keep going! Dont get stuck on making every panel a masterpiece

You guys need to see this and take it in… Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

Deleted the bird app, the clock app, and the camera app from my phone. Alexa, play “Shackles” by Mary Mary.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Big thx to: @blkcaesar.bsky.social @anime-lord0809.bsky.social @boringblackgirl.bsky.social @oluwah.bsky.social For each of their entries in the beta of the #blackskygamers discord for the logo competition we have going on rn We’ve got talented folks here #blerdsky | #blerdlife

i think the less i saw making art as an isolated event of “expressing myself“ and more of a conversation with people whos work i admire and play “yes and!” with, the more i improved and had a better time making stuff

Love that is for you, doesn’t require chasing.

Really excited to listen to the new Kendrick album. I’m waiting until I have the space and attention to listen to it all the way through uninterrupted, and give it the respect it deserves. Hopefully tomorrow

A LOT of artists are doing Black Friday sales this year. Like, way more than I've seen in years past. That tells me that SO many of us need people buying our art. Please please please buy from artists in the coming weeks and consider us throughout the year when purchasing gifts.

Wish more people realised that for most art businesses, there's only one person doing all the work. Creating, shipping, admin, promotion, starting feuds with other artists, painting unflattering portraits of them into historical scenes, trying to poison them, it's all one person.

Hot take: If your car offers you the ability to use your phone as a key, yeet that feature right into the sun and ignore it because phones are infinitely dumber than keys and you need a key ring for your house anyway you doinks. And if you're using your phone as a house key... don't.

HUH!?

Feeling absolutely adorable.

I think my New Year’s resolution this time is gonna be to try to draw more of what I want without being afraid people won’t like it.

today i decided im going to learn how to draw! ... and to the people who respond "dont you already know how to draw" boy do i have news for you
