Emory Douglas:Minister of Culture

I have always liked this artists work, but I've never seen him shown in NYC. If you aren't familiar with hm you should look him up. He is Emory Douglas former Minister of Culture for the Revolutionary Black Panther Party. His work was featured in just about every Panther Party newspaper. As Minister of Culture, was able to use his work to challenge the injustice that Blacks and the underclass were dealing with in the 1960's. His images are strong and eye catching detailing the plight of the underclass while maintaining their dignity and giving them a national voice through the use of the Black Panther new paper. As a painter I find his work inspirational because of his use of thick black outlines which is a technique I use in my own work as well, although not as masterfully.

Keyes: Stop Obama or U.S. will cease to exist

This Negro is buggin'...this is classic crabs-in-a-barrel. He's acting like Obama started this crisis. Obama was given this crisis he didn't create it. But, he does have a point..where did the money for this bailout come from?

"Funkin' for Jamaica"

This year...

This year I am asking myself... What do I hope to accomplish?

I'm asking this question about every situation in my life. My art and what direction is my art going? My moving to DC or should I try to stick it out another year in NYC or move to an entirely new city like I did when I moved to Chicago back in '96? What do I plan to accomplish with this blog? What type of new job should I be looking for? Going back to school this summer and in the fall. And especially should I be doing to maximize the quality time I spend my children and the need to increase the time with them. And also how should I handle dealing my ex-wife.
