artist rebecca maria creates 9 ft tall clay statue honoring sade (commissioned by a very disgraced rapper from canada, no need to mention him in comments)

sculptor rebecca maria stands beside a towering statue of clay nearly twice her height. the statue assumes the sensual, iconic pose associated with the singer sade: nude with arms crossed over breasts, modest in the moment

actual photo black and white photo with tinge of sepia of sade in sensual pose for an album cover: nude with arms crossed over her front, eyes closed, softly glowing.

photo of a dark-skinned woman with full wonderful lips wearing a billowing dark blue dress with puffy sleeves. her arms are raised above her head so that her sleeves drape down to cover her eyes so only her mouth and tip of her nose are shown. there's a green glow behind her with what looks like the long leaves of a tropical plant.

some of the photoshop artwork im most proud of...

screenshot of illustration of an enslaved african running away in search of freedom with bag on a rod slung over his shoulder.

photoshopped image of the same "runaway slave" photo with shoulder bag & rod converted into an assault rifle for tlmy visual art series, Awaken Your Gods (AYG!!!).
where the original image would appear under the words "reward!" for capture, it now says "rewarding" with "freedom is free of the need for being free!" beneath the image's feet

full-bodied painting of a black man wearing a bright white & dark red striped shirt and skintight black leggings. his right hand rests on his hip and his left hand rests on his stomach. where are his shoes? i dont know. this might be inspired by my last post featuring Lovis Corinth's similarly themed painting of Othello.

it's been ages since i last made digital collages... id print them onto canvas or archival papers for gallery exhibitions but my last showing was 2011... 🫪 running the bookstore and focusing on my writing took me out of art and i miss that facet of myself.

a very colorful collage of various african-related images featuring a bust of amenhotep iii on the body of (i think it was) miles davis holding a trumpet.
