After Midnight Soul October 28, 2009

After Midnight Soul, is exactly how I should feel but instead I feel like Late Evening Crap, I am acting like a two-year old who does not know its bed time, I am soooo tired, yet fighting the urge to go to bed. Instead I decided to visit Concreteloop.com where I go for my last-ditch [...]

Dawn Okoro October 22, 2009

I am excited, lately I am not easily excited, I found an artist with prints for sale, for sale within my price range, okay, one downside, they are a bit smaller than I would like, I digress.

Dawn Okoro paints sisters, real sisters and other people too, her images evoke heat, maybe it is the intensity [...]

I have seriously been considering whether I want other art forms on my blog and I decided I can do what the hell I like….. its not like I have a regular fan base to offend! So in the future I will post about anything creative [...]

Kehinde Wiley – My Rembrandt April 30, 2007

Two Heroic Sisters of the Grassland 2007
Oh my God, was I not drooling like an idiot when I found Kehinde’s site it is everything I love about art, cool, contemporary, modern and perfect execution! It is the type of art I created this blog to find….. it is just so right.
The poses and expressions, European gentry meets [...]

Steven Katzman- Darkroom Don March 19, 2007

Photography has always been one of my great loves, but I have always thought it is one of those arts, that you can easily get by with very little talent, many photographers know nothing about dark room techniques. I feel the same way about digital photography, though it does require just as much skill to [...]

Thierry Le Goues – Soul Amazones March 11, 2007

Whilst perusing my blog stats, I found a search item “beautiful nudes”, which reminded me of a coffee table book I own titled “Soul”(least I think I do, I have not seen it for a while) with the most beautiful nude pictures of black women including Alek Wek, Naomi Campbell and Iman, exquisite high contrast photographs which were [...]

Mike Thompson – Spraying up a Storm March 8, 2007

Nas for XXL Mag
My toes are a tingling, I am all excited again because I found another hot site, turn your volume down before visiting if you do not appreciate urban riddims. Ex head boy at Ecko’s t-shirt division, Mike Thompson was  customising apparel back in the 80’s whilst still at college, now a proffessional illustrator, the [...]

Sheila Bridges- Harlem Toile De Jouy March 8, 2007

This wall paper is enchanting and interesting, though I think it could easily be considered un PC, “hummm Martha why do you have wall paper depicting slaves??” for some reason  period costume on black people always brings slaves or servants to my mind. However it is extremely whimsical and in the right setting could be a [...]

Marc Baptiste – Delicious! March 1, 2007

 
When I grow up I want to be a fashion photographer, okay I’m all grown and I am not a fashion photographer but if I was I would want to be Marc Baptiste, because then I would have taken my favorite picture of Lauren Hill (below). In all honesty Marc is not my favorite photographer, [...]

Jules Arthur – Hypnotic Splendor February 26, 2007

 
Sisters
I can tell how much I like an artist, by the amount of time I spend on their site, in Jules’s case too long, besides his work the site itself is fierce, a beautiful platform to showcase his work, I love elegant design.
His work is hypnotic splendor, his subjects draw you in with their eyes reading your soul and telling [...]
