January 2021: Works in Progress
We’re already more than a week into February but I’m just now posting some of my latest work for January 2021. I don’t always have finished pieces to show but I do keep busy every day. So here’s your update and a bit of news about what’s going on. Crossover! Why is brother Ujima showing…
Kwanzaa 2021, year in review
What’s next? I can tell you stories. In fact I think I WILL be telling you stories: urban fables and modern mythology as I bring the Children to life. Expect to see more photo-realistic images and a more focused approach. The Children are hitting their stride and about to up their game. Stay tuned.
Kinara’s Children: Nia and Kuji at the Bus Stop
Kujichagulia means Self Determination. Kuji is determined to fight the power whenever power needs to be fought. Always ready to pass the torch to the next generation. More rough pages from the upcoming book The World According to Nia. The first image will work as a two page spread with copy on…
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.
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.
