DEOZI ARTIST

IT’S MARCUS GARVEY MONTH - I’ve always been an admirer of the Right Excellent Marcus Mosiah Garvey. His organizing and work with the people led to one of the largest movements in history. His impact is so powerful that religious movements have incorporated his presence into their doctrines. Nonetheless, there is only one Garvey with one mission. Please check out his lessons in the book titled, “Message to the People: the Course of African Philosophy”. It had teachings that transcend beyond his lifespan and are still relevant today. Happy Birthday Month to Mr. Garvey, the Harbinger of Africa and African descended peoples. #august17 #marcusgarvey #birthdaymonth #deozi #deoziart #coloredpencils #pencils #instaartist #blackartistry #drawing #masterart #reformer #humanity #artnerd #unia #graphicdesigner #powerfulmind #messagetothepeople #portrait #historicalfigure #jamaica #caribbean #garveyite #organizer #poet #artistic

BLACK ARTISTS: SELMA BURKE - (December 31, 1900 - August 29, 1995) Sculptor, Harlem Renaissance Contributor. I’m continuing my “unknown artists” series. I say unknown in the sense that I believe the general public doesn’t know about this great black artist. This is my interpretation of her. Notice that I put a little creative regalia on her, just for some contrast. Selma Burke is kindred to me because she delighted in doing artistic renderings of people she considered important or worth reverence. Her work is outstanding! Please take time to look her up. She is our art history! And by the way: Deozi is back! #conceptualart #legacy #selmaburke #sculptor #sculpture #artnerd #deozi #deoziart #pencils #coloredpencils #ancestors #20thcenturyart #blackartistry #powerfulwomen #creativeart #africandiaspora #blacktalent #illustrator #instaartist #drawing #fantasyart #graphicdesigner #portraits #hieroglyphics #harlemrenaissance #harlem #nyc

EYE EVOLVE - it’s been months since I did any art due to a severe leg injury that incapacitated me. During that time, most of my effort was on healing and recovery. I’m still in the recovery stage but I feel I am close to having maximum usage of the leg once more. I’m giving thanks to the Ancestors! I’m looking at this time as a moment of rebirth, change, and transformation. Deozi will be back in art life mode once again! #deozi #deoziart #artlife #artnerd #evolution #evolving #butterfly #caterpillar #moth #cocoon #chrysalis #wings #coloredpencils #graphicdesigner #fantasyart #changingbeing #transforming #illustrator #illustration #instaartist #masterartist #pencils #resolution #conceptualart #cycles #rebirth #artgod #reincarnation

ONE MORE DOOR - It’s a blessing and a privilege to have witnessed many great talents stemming from the 20th Century. They are doors to human potential and creativity. One of these doors who made her entrance in the world is the insurmountable @whitneyhouston. Her voice was thunderous and commanding. I was never a true R and B song lover, but whenever Whitney sang, I had to pay attention. As said before, her voice was, and still is, the voice of celestials. #legacy #whitneyhouston #artnerd #drawing #draw #doodle #sketchartist #sketchbook #coloredpencils #pencils #pencilart #powerfulwomen #vocals #randbsinger #fantasyart #illustrator #illustration #deozi #deoziart #instaart #graphicart #graphicwork #artofinstagram #blackartist #graphite #freehandart #celebrity #iwillalwaysloveyou

THE BLACK ARTIST: LOIS MAILOU JONES (Nov. 3, 1905 - June 9, 1998) (prints for sale) This is my art depiction of this wonderful and talented black woman. Outstanding artist and teacher, Jones spent her art career on focusing on Caribbean and African themes in her work. While leaving the USA, and becoming a resident of Paris, she still traveled the world, and these travels expanded her creativity and choices associated with it. Jones made it her business to do many works to reflect that she was evidence of black People’s talent in the area of artistry. She was a lover of Africa, but also loved that she was born American. You can also see this within her work. Long live her legacy and creative works contributed to the world. #familyhistory #legacy #genealogy #caribbean #europetrip #20thcenturywomen #blackartistry #artnerd #deozi #deoziart #culturalart #harlemrenaissance #kittylover #painting #coloredpencils #pencilartwork #graphicmaster #designlord #artking #blackexcellence #drawingmagic #drawing #doodler #historygreats #feline #womenofart #powerfulwomen #arthistory #arthistorynerd

BLACK ARTIST: ARCHIBALD MOTLEY (oct. 7, 1891-Jan. 16, 1981) was an outstanding visual artist. His work focused on the African American experience within the United States, and one of the most notable figures of the Harlem Renaissance. In his case, the Chicago Renaissance, as this powerful expression of creativity was throughout the nation. The most admirable about his art is that he cared enough to use his gift to catalog the essence of our people. This is one of the main reasons why I drew him. Let us remember this deity in the flesh. #graphicart #archibaldmotley #deozi #deoziart #drawingmagic #doodleart #blackhistorymonth #historicalfigures #harlemrennaissance #sketchartist #sketchmaster #illustrator #illustration #legacy #blackartistsmatter #coloredpencils #pencilart #pencil #graphicmagic #chiefdesigner #artnerd #artmage #instaart #imagery #portraitartist #ancestors #oldartist #remembrance

SHURI THE SCIENTIST: @letitiawright is a great actress. She’s also born in my father’s country of Guyana 🇬🇾. I think she brought so many dimensions to this character Shuri. I’m really looking forward to seeing her in future MCU movies! #caribbean #graphicart #blackpanther #blackpanthermovie #shuri #doramilaje #tchalla #wakanda #marvel #mcu #blackpantherart #deozi #deoziart #fantasyart #pencils #pencildrawing #graphite #guyana #drawingworld #artdiscovery #scifiart #blacksciencefiction #sketchartist #deozisketches #supremeart #mastersketch #illustratinglife #illustrationartist

YOU WANNA PARTY WITH ME? This talented Jamaican descended man, who also hails from Flatbush like myself, was one of those artists I grew up seeing while in high school. When he was with LONS, I knew he was the fire of the group. He stood out the way Lauryn Hill stood out in the Fugees in my view. @bustarhymes was someone I wanted to see go solo. And he did! I can go on with his hits but it’s too many to list. This drawing is inspired by one of my favorite videos he did. #bustarhymes #bussabuss #artwork #artnerd #jamaica #caribbean #graphicart #blackartist #coloredpencils #creativeart #drawing #doodle #portrait #sketchartist #deozi #deoziart #hiphop #reggae #dancehall #partywithme #pencils #fantasyart #graphicdesigner #graphite #illustrator #illustration #instaart #pencilart
