Willard Wigan Micro Sculptor December 11, 2009

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” (Matthew 19:24)
Not in Willard Wigan’s world, he can get anything through the eye of a needle, micro sculptor creating highly detailed figures so minute by hand, microscopes are required to view his work.
I have always been impressed [...]

Work is still getting its pound of flesh, so I will keep it brief, Lauri Lyons is the first African American female to be represented by Getty Images; with this I have already spoken volumes.

All People are Beautiful November 6, 2009

This is something I have always believed, and I am not talking beauty on the inside, I am talking aesthetics, facially, some people you have to look a little harder than others, some times you find it in fleeting expressions, other  times it is a permanent fixture.

I found Facity which confirms my theory in part, to [...]

Ozwald Boateng- The Bespoke Couturier October 22, 2009

Many moons ago I was at a night spot, I spotted a tall extremely elegant well dressed young man, some of his male company did not look that bad either,  I later found out that said gentleman was Ozwald Boateng (OBE).
His suits are so fly, some loud with bright eccentric colours, in some cases only the lining is bright, [...]

Howard Bingham – Technical Knock Out May 28, 2007

I loved Bingham’s work with out knowing who he was, I collected pictures of Mohammed Ali on a web site a while back, little did I know they were taken by the same photographer.
He was kicked out of school and told to pursue another career apart from photography, like the Greatest Ali, sheer determination always [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]
