i appreciate it bro. i am still trying to find a stand i know i like the oil paintings the abstract expression but i love the hiphop illustrative pictures and no one is really doing hiphop paintings so i am trying to do some groovey street-art with oil paintings.

i am still a scholar so its going to be hit and miss. thanks bro. :salute:

oh nah...it’s still fukk you for some of the views you’ve expressed on here and most of your paintings...but that one is really pleasing to the eyes tho imo...I think I’ve said it before but your paintings look better to me when you don’t use the thin black outlines and instead “blend” together...also I like this one bcuz she doesn’t look like a racist caricature...I’m not saying that’s your intention with your other paintings but they do remind me of those type of drawings unfortunately

cool. the images are my style that extends the features of peoples to make it look distorted instead of regular. same for the backgrounds and velocity i use with the paint. i appreciate the critique reason i like it because you dont always get to hear the real from friends, family or face to face.

Do you have a website or instagram for your paintings?

this is actually an artistic style used by black artist. it’s called post-black. they use uncomfortable stereotypical themes within their art. It’s like an artistic reclaiming of the word nikka.

Kara Walker for example using salacious images of masters, pickaninnys, and hangings.

Or Zanele Muholi using black face, big lips, and other minstrel characteristics.

lots of black artist are doing it now a days. it’s suppose to make you feel uncomfortable and confront the reasons behind the uncomfortableness. But that it’s a part of a history of blackness and that we need to embrace it. Kinda like how some believe we need to stop being ashamed of liking chicken and watermelon or other stereotypically black shyt.

Not sure about Ernie Barnes being post-black but, yes, definitely Kerry James Marshall.

I’m not into cartoons or brightly colored art, which is why I didn’t care for Dr. X’s work, but I do like the one that you said you sold. If you have more like that, I would like to see?

i dont have an instagram at the moment

All the artist are on Instagram. You should at least have that. How are you selling your art if you have no medium to showcase?

suck my dikk (figuratively)...I don’t like a lot of the opinions you’ve expressed on here either and he never voiced that as his intention with his style of painting nor does it mean I have to appreciate even IF it is his intention

the images are my style that extends the features of peoples to make it look distorted instead of regular.

breh, relax. it was a point of information. a point of information does not mean you have to accept it or even like it. you’re entitled to your own opinions and feelings and like what you like. how my other opinions on other topics got into this conversation I have no idea. :heh:

bcuz some opinions (of the c00n persuasion) can’t be easily forgotten/dismissed/ignored by me...so again suck my dikk (figuratively)...that’s my neo-verbal form of artistic expression designed to elicit humor and a small measure of discomfort

i emailed cover letters and works years ago, i have a database of galleries. i was in one in earls court christmas of 2018 which was my last show.

people still aware of my work from myspace days and numbers. i know what you mean about dr x's work too many colours you loose correlation with whats being presented. i think these particular few which may be more in your field :
