This is a rough from a series of images and stories I’ve been working on. More info to come as I clean up the concept and artwork. Stay tuned

… If You Want to Go Far, Go Together
If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.–African proverb While putting together a new art piece I realized that I didn’t have many group shots of Kinara’s Children. Even the one I’ve been using is a mashup of single pics collaged together. At the end…
The Prince of Egypt? He Wish!
Imani is amused: “Ujima got a bit carried away in his pharaoh’s costume. ‘Come on to the party he said. It’ll be fun.’ Now he’s trying to lord it over folks like some third rate King Tut.”
Ujima is not amused: “Just to be clear, I’m not trying to be King Tut. I’m Ramses II, the Great. He was a great builder who created more monuments than any pharaoh in history, and a personal hero of mine”
A bit of holiday fun with Ujima as Ramses II and Imani as Nefertiti.
The Year in Review for 2022
Hi folks!, So 2022 has come to an end and I want to thank everyone who dropped by the site, signed up for the first time, or shared some Kwanzaa joy with the Children this season. It’s time for me to work out what directions to take in the new year. I have some ideas…
Kinara’s Children Mini Posters
These just came in… and they’re looking sweeeeet! 8″ x 10″, full color, high quality, printed mini posters of all 7 Kinara’s Children characters. Yeah, they may look familiar but this is the first time they’ve been available at this size. Plus we now have the two characters, Ujima and Ujamaa, that I’ve been updating this year….
Wakanda Fashion: Nia’s Black Panther Dreams
I’ve been a Black Panther fan for a very long time, dating back to the 70’s. Even though I was excited to learn of the recent, most excellent film just released I figured I wouldn’t be able to make any fan art because I’ve been totally focused on my ongoing project, Kinara’s Children.
Well never say never, because it turns out that little Nia is a fan too. So I thought I’d whip up this little costume using Blender (natch), and hook Nia up with an early Halloween outfit.
Imani’s Queenly Fashion
Just putting in some work over the weekend. Imani needed a new outfit for an upcoming fashion shoot so I fitted these two gowns for her. It’s the same gown actually with different textures. Imani always had a thing for Ancient Egyptian fashion so these seem to fit the bill. I’m still working with her…
