Women who are beyond done with all of this shit.

Have you ever seen Sleeping Beauty, The Jungle Book or the Toy Story? Well if you have, then you need to know it’s the work of animator Floyd Norman who helped  bring Disney and Pixar classics to life.

He became the studio’s first African-American animator in the 1950s, he’s 81 now and he’s still working there.

He is so dedicated to his work that he never even thought of retirement. He says  “You see, creative people don’t hang it up.”

He is still bringing joy to people after all these years and he’s not planning to retire soon. 

His art influenced our childhood, with his help we saw amazing movies that we will always remember. 

He is an epitome of black excellence.

Thank you,  Floyd Norman.

Weaving from the Texture collection by Moa Hallgren, 2015.

As part of an interesting cultural exchange between Berlin and Bangladesh, Moa Hallgren has created a range of textiles that are woven from by-products of the textile industry. Aside from taking a closer look at the handwoven textiles created for the Texture collection there are also some beautiful examples of Hallgren’s work with 3D weaving.
