For those that know me... know the impact Doom has had on my life. He's the reason I love Anita Baker so much and a huge inspiration for turning inward and dissapearing behind my art. The countless one liners and references I share with the homies... crazy. The composition of his albums remind me of listening to audio books on road trips with my family as a kid. College, starving artist years, international travels... all with Doom. The soundtrack to my journey. My 'Petal Block Doom' piece pays homage to the Operation Doomsday album. Digital print on 18x24" wrapped canvas. $400 Gold Framed print, 11x14" on paper $250, no frame $120. #creatorsgonecreate https://www.instagram.com/p/CNDXr3WBadE/?igshid=jgb4eaxaa38f

This is my favorite activity from the Women of The Black Panther Party Activity Book. Its so made up and hella random; perfect for the imagination. Its probably good for the psyche to color and design such an uplifting message- "Black is Beautiful". As a coloring book engineer my goal in designing activities is to leave as much room for the imagination as possible. I like to provide minimal structure and more opportunities for the user's discovery.

“Right now black lives matter. Trans lives matter. We doing this for every Black person. At the end of the day I can’t take my fuckin skin color off. I cannot mask this shit. I am profiled whether I like it or not. So guess what. I’m a die about it. I’m a die about my fuckin skin. You cannot take my fuckin blackness away from me. My blackness is not for your fuckin consumption nigga. It’s okay to be angry. Use wisdom. Don’t move stupidly and get yourself hurt. We all in this together.” -Paraphrased speech from a Oluwatoyin Salau, a BLM who was murdered this summer. Preciate you sis. Rest in power. #happybirthday #protectblackwomen #sayhername #creatorsgonecreate https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZ1ce_Bgtz/?igshid=1xbxigcn8fsq2
