東京、愛を込めて
During a brief trip there this summer, I was surprised to learn that Tokyo began as a fishing village… that makes sense tho, because the sushi there was *chef’s kiss* …but even MORE surprising was that I found Tokyo to be THE cleanest, most evolved city I have seen yet…
Clearly its collective wealth of resources and technology are invested in creating an advanced city that’s HIGHLY accessible, sustainably comfortable, humanistic... It’s safe and walkable, plus has an incredibly intricate and well-managed public transportation apparatus whose coverage is THOROUGH. Tokyo’s rail (and bus) network is an efficient, immaculately executed system. If every major metro implemented such a model, what a wonderful world this would be! Tokyo’s population density probably necessitates such an intricate system; but its incredible transit system also ENABLES sustaining such a population, as it surely helps make it an attractive destination for millions of visitors, fueling so many kinds of commerce🤑but also must be integral in helping sustain the wellbeing of its many citizens! ありがとう東京!

Thursday at this opening I realized why last wknd’s Super Bowl halftime performance resonated so deeply with me: with my Portrait of the American Flag (II). It was more than the fact I also referenced the flag directly for social commentary… and many have told me how my flag art spoke to them, even if some the symbolism was not clear. some folk may not care for my work; that’s fine, but I also realize that I wish with my art (and maybe also for K-Dot’s): to inspire, and provoke discussion.. a calling and leading to action which creates change. But for change to happen, I believe unity and solidarity is necessary. I want us to be free, for this we truly need unity. And I do feel that artists can be key leaders; a dedicated artist with a conscience who’s willing to challenge the status quo- that’s always been integral. People from all walks help create social progress. And personally, I’m always inspired by artists who seem keen to shine their light on the plight of we, black and brown, poor and working class women and men and our children… but as an artist I’ve learned too, that everyone is a critic; perhaps that’s amplified in the social media age. Cool. we all have our views.. but I don’t get to dictate how another artist uses his/her platform; all I can do is use my own time and opportunities to create art that makes you FEEL somethin in your soul, for real.
By the way, shown here are two of my favorite paintings I created, currently on display at the Centre Theater in my hometown, including the art gallery of its Charles Blackson Collection exhibit.
Right now I gotta pray on what it’ll take to bring us TOGETHER to actually fight for CHANGE…. In the meantime, my mind already flow like rivers of juices and berries, my art grows blacker by the day. So, they may not like us, but guess what: we don’t care. We still here. 💯🌞🦅❤️🖤💚💫

One of my resolutions for this year is to finish at least one canvas painting per calendar month of the year. I’m excited to unveil the painting I’m finishing for this month. It’s been a LONG time coming… in some ways it’s a reflection on the Black Renaissance painting I completed altho I started it prior. But after this month I’ll do a series of flower portraits. Like the sunflower I did, but other types of flowers 🌻🌺🌸🌹🌞🙏🏾
For now here’s some of my favoritest paintings , plus recent photos I took here and there and everywhere.

Lately my go-to for dinner esp. when my son is over.. I’ll cook just this pasta🔥served warm in a bowl with a little unsalted butter, extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, and fresh ground pink sea salt😋 ..if there’s meatballs then for sure we’ll have some of those with it too🤌🏾

Lately too, I’ve learned a lot following all kinds of folks…: from libertarians to progressives, but also apolitical …as well as spiritual folk, atheists AND the devout/pious.. Republicans and true blue Dems alike💯 … what I realized is that each one tbh thinks their own Echo Chamber sounds the best… hogwash.😆Listen up better whether you woke or right or pro-pronouns or not. We all bleed , need water and to eat, love, then go😴at last. What remains Eternal universal wisdom for us all.. just try to make The Golden Rule go viral daily trending, everywhere wherever you are.. it could all be so simple

1. Community is the cure to so much of what ails us… On a recent trip to the library I happened upon this book, which I’ve begun reading; I urge you to check it out. So often, when I read an insightful book or article, its relevance to my life immediately emerges in myriad ways… case in point:
Conversing with loved ones today reiterated much of what I’ve read in the book: in the USA/worldwide, poisonous substances are fed to us, systematically, killing us slowly, while controlling us socially. Sometimes it’s processed food, sometimes it’s dietary recommendations that aren’t actually beneficial to us, and of course sometimes it’s “controlled substances” that we become dependent on, whether the legal prescribed ones or the others we take in.. in myriad ways. I’m still learning, but one thing I’ve learned for sure is that WE CAN learn from each other… when we’re connected and communicating, openly and honestly. That’s all for now but go get this book if you can🔥🔥
I hope you’re eating well💯❤️🙏🏾
