Comic & Cartoon Art deserve to be in (more) contemporary art institutions. I will advocate for that til my last breath. Philippe Labaune Gallery and Society of Illustrators (here in NYC) are proof of concept.

CARTOONS FROM MEMORY // Can you guess 'em all? Drawn during my Live Drawing broadcasts.

I host a FREE grant writing & research workshop to help Black Artists discover the resources & opportunities often just out of reach for us. I will help you find grants suited to your practice. Next one is THIS Sunday, October 5th. RSVP ⏩ www.eventbrite.com/e/afrovision...

Black Boy/Black Girl Art Show STILL using GenAi to promote their events after ALL that noise and controversy is crrrrrazy.

I'm not seeing enough folks chattin' about the Saint Heron Library. It's a digital archive of Black Literature founded by Solange Knowles. This is the EXACT thing we've needed and it's all FREE. Digital Preservation & Archival is extremely important! May this post align me with that side of BlueSky.

The "Starving Artist" is a myth. I will obliterate that ideology from the arts community, especially when it comes to the kinfolk. It IS possible to create a sustainable career as an artist - because I've seen it. That comes with diligence, discipline, & making the right connections.

Every artist, if they so choose, should be able to make a sustainable living off of their work.

Piracy is the kryptonite to this greedy-ass corporations. Too many subscriptions, too many live service models, too many streaming apps. Entertainment IS a luxury, but it shouldn't cost THIS damn much. We can pool our $$$ to support creatives/artists directly through other means: Patreon, etc.

There's no such thing as a Starving Artist over here.

ARTISTS: How many unfinished projects do you have and why is it over a dozen?

September really was my month. October looking real 🔥 too. So grateful for this moment in time. Never been more proud to be a Black Artist. 💪🏿🔥

A mf will have a whole favorite X-Men and still have the nerve to be a racist.

Leota Adebayo is one of my favorite characters on Peacemaker. Unfortunately, I feel like she's a relegated to the "magical negro" role. The final few moments of the most recent episode were wild to witness, & I wonder if James Gunn has any Black folks in that writer's room.

I've seen two horror films starring David Jonsson recently: Alien Romulus and The Long Walk. In both he played a "magical negro" and in both, his confidence/authority were perceived as a threat. This feels some new-age type of racism, but I can't fully articulate how, just yet.

For the past decade, I've noticed white artists utilizing a technique called Pity Marketing to make $$. From the days of deviantArt, Tumblr, & now in this modern age of TikTok; this phenomenon seems to be at an all-time high. I think...I might draw a comic about it, showcasing the different types.

Yes, I have seen the news about the abomination Ai "Music Artist" Xania Monet and I will certainly have a video about it soon.

Gatekeeping Life-Saving Resources = NO... Gatekeeping Culture & Tradition = YES!

I will obliterate the "starving artist" myth, especially among the kinfolk. I believe it IS possible to create a sustainable career, just like any other, as an artist - because I've see it. That comes with diligence, discipline, and making the right connections.

To those who recently joined the AfroVisionaries Group, I recently updated my private discord server with a section for us to congregate, network, and strategize away from the noise of public social media. Next workshop is in October. Pull up ⏩ www.eventbrite.com/e/afrovision...

NEW Hab Oh HT: Stop Expecting FREEBIES From Black Artists Watch ⏩ youtu.be/Qnq6AOnhsN4

Black Billionaires have never been and will never be the solution to Black Liberation.

No REAL New Yorker wants to see no damn casino in Times Square, Flushing, or Coney Island.

Right after Christianity, I believe Fandom is the scariest religion on this planet. Because what you mean you spent your rent money to go see (insert popular A-List music artist here) concert on the other side of the country?!

Simple & Clean (Planitb Remix) needs to part of more DJ mixes.

Artists DESERVE compensation for their hard work. Stop expecting FREEBIES.

I'm making sure Black Artists THRIVE in the contemporary art world. CLAIM IT!

This September is turning out to be a great month for (art) grant opportunities.

SEGA dropping anti-Nintendo/Mario Kart to promote Sonic Crossworlds feels like that petty 90s rivalry all over again. 🔥

Able-Bodied Artists: Get up out the mf chair and do some stretches right NOW!

I've made it my personal mission to push more cartoon & comic art into contemporary art spaces. Very grateful to see institutions like Philippe Labaune Gallery and Society of Illustrators/MoCCA at the forefront of this.

Besides MOO, who are some great alternatives for making (business) cards?

One belief that will NEVER be up for debate for me: Black Character Designers should ALWAYS prioritize creating Black Characters.

The Cult of Personality has taken the place of Disciplined Organization.

It's incredibly unrealistic to believe you'll agree with every single thing a person says. Disagreeing doesn't mean either person is inherently bad. It's okay to have differing opinions, so as long as it's not problematic ideology (racism, homophobia, etc).

You don't have to monetize ALL of your hobbies. Everything doesn't have to be "content", it's okay to keep some things for yourself.

All Skinfolk ain't Kinfolk. Get their opinions on reparations and renumerations, for Black folks in America, before you engage in community with 'em.
