Jonathan Majors has become one of my favourite actors over the last couple of years and he has such a wonderful face, he was a total joy to paint.
He’s best known for his roles in The Harder They Fall and Loki but if you haven’t seen his film, The Last Black Man in San Francisco, I can’t recommend it enough! It’s a special gem of a movie.
Painted on Procreate in oils and charcoal on linen canvas.

After JurneeSmollett tribute, I had to spotlight the other half of the incredible success that is LOVECRAFT COUNTRY: Jonathan Majors (as Atticus Freeman). Great talent all around - I could draw the whole cast! #BlackHorrorMonth#BlackHistoryMonth#Day16

“It would seem to me that the question before the house is a proposition horribly loaded, that one’s response to that question depends on where you find yourself in the world, what your sense of reality is. That is, it depends on assumptions we hold so deeply as to be scarcely aware of them. The white South African or Mississippi sharecropper or Alabama sheriff has at bottom a system of reality…
One of THEE best actors of our generation. I recall telling him on Twitter that I’d love to see him as Dick Gregory in a biopic and he was so flattered and started following me and my core group of Black Twitter friends who were movie buffs and burgeoning cinematographers.
Michael K. Williams was not only a talented actor, but also an amazing dancer/choreographer. He choreographed Crystal Waters “100% Pure Love” video, was a backup dancer for Cece Pennington, Madonna, George Michael, and countless other entertainers.
This loss really hurts. Rest in Power, Michael K. Williams.
