Representation matters: all 54 characters together! Can you name them all? • by @msartsyace
I’ve posted both of these individually but I took a bit of time to digitally merge them together into one big comp! This is hands down my favorite art piece I’ve ever done.
Interesting fact: 4 of these characters were played by Samuel L Jackson and 3 of them were voiced by Phil Lamarr, something I only realized after I completed these drawings.
It’s that time of year! I will be sending out a postcard set to my patrons to celebrate some of my favorite paintings and breakthroughs I’ve made in 2021. Visit my Patreon and sign up if you would like to grab a postcard set!
Here is a new illustration I created for Vancouver Writer’s Fest.
A huge shoutout to ZAK design studio for the lovely art direction and design work.
When I heard one of the themes was Black Lives Matter, I had to really anchor myself in a visual solution that honored the movement but didn’t center systemic anti-Black violence and police brutality. With this illustration I wanted to weave together timelines, and imagine our chants and protests as a guiding light amongst the stars.
(…When I type that all out it’s really giving BLM but make it EarthSeed.)

“There is not a film performance this year more technically virtuosic than Alfre Woodard’s awe-inspiring central turn as Bernadine, a hardened prison warden who has long repressed the psychic toll of executing over a dozen inmates throughout her career, in Chinonye Chukwu’s Clemency. Using little more than her body, the most expressive and effective weapon in her arsenal, Woodard draws a haunting portrait of a woman quietly reevaluating the sum total of her life’s work, weighing her professional standing with the deep-seated guilt that pours out like a burst dam during the film’s climax, which plays out entirely on Woodard’s tormented face. In an earlier shot, following a heated argument with the lawyer (Richard Schiff) of the latest prisoner (the remarkable Aldis Hodge) that Bernadine is scheduled to put to death, Woodard does nothing but constrict her throat and gulp with alarming severity. It’s a small, perfectly suppressed movement that exposes a fissure in this supposedly ironclad figure, a single trace of the abysmal vulnerability that Bernadine herself declines to acknowledge. If acting awards were actually handed out on merit alone, the Oscar would already be in Woodard’s hands.” — Matthew Eng

When Dr. Wesley Memeger Jr. started at DuPont in 1964, he was only the fourth African American with a doctorate in chemistry to join the company.
Over the course of a thirty-two-year career, Memeger amassed fourteen patents and left his mark on some of DuPont’s most famous products, like Kevlar, the synthetic fiber found in bulletproof vests. His passion for chemistry has also influenced his career as an artist; Memeger’s pieces often explore geometrical themes reminiscent of molecular models.
On February 24, Hagley Library, in partnership with Clark Atlanta University and Bloomfield College, premiered Dr. Wesley Memeger, Jr., Science Into Art, a special documentary chronicling the life of Dr. Wesley Memeger, Jr. Now, we’re please to announce the debut of a digital exhibit to accompany that work.
The exhibit, Dr. Wesley Memeger Jr.: Scientist, Artist, Activist, covers key points of Memeger’s life story and makes use of archival photographs as well as clips from an oral history of Dr. Memeger conducted by Dr. Jeanne Nutter in 2020, which also served as the primary source for the documentary. Visitors to the exhibit can listen as Memeger recounts his journey, beginning as the son and grandson of farmers in St. Augustine, Florida during the era of Jim Crow laws, following his interest in science to Clark College, a historically Black university in Atlanta, at the height of the movement for Black civil rights, to his career at DuPont and his intriguing transition from scientist to artist.
