Inktober2023 Day 1: Dream (tribute to Little Nemo and Winsor McCay)

Imaginei a lojinha (e a Mari deu vida a ela de uma forma graciosa) como se fosse uma saudosa lembrança da Bruxinha Glacia, que lhe apareceu em sonho, e assim aproveitei para prestar homenagem ao Little Nemo, do Winsor McCay.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH. If you haven’t seen Philemona Williamson’s unique work take this month’s call as a reason to do so. Her work illuminates blackness while transcending the very concept. Filled with revelatory objects of every era from the Topsy Turvey dolls of slave times to the occasional odd errant lobster all floating through the composition of her works. Resonating influences as diverse as 18th century graphic artist Winsor McCay and the provocative Portuguese painter Paula Rego, she shape-shifts through art history while exploring childhood myths and illusions, insecurities and longings in a world of dreamlike proportions where bodies and tables and iconic objects have become unmoored. She juxtaposes highly specific contemporary understandings of race to the eternal and universal experiences of the imagination navigating freely in richly colored narratives. Her work is every bit as much a call to action and contemplation as the poetry of young Amanda Gorman and equally liberating. A few images to follow. #philemonawilliamson #amandagorman #blackhistorymonth #paularego #littlenemo #winsormccay #benningtoncollege #prattinstitute https://www.instagram.com/p/CLE4EGzFBiy/?igshid=1ajvtt1wonk26

I remember these characters fondly and I think of the Little Nemo franchise with cherished history. I wanted to give these characters a little more color and perhaps up their cuteness factor, lol. Wouldn’t they make great stuffed toys?

My contribution to the “Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream” anthology published by @locustmooncomics It’s a beautiful, oversized book full of amazing comic art. Definitely worth checking out. . . #littlenemo https://www.instagram.com/p/B1JqK-PnOd5/?igshid=1mn2k3xbkxnvj
