Sorry for the...

Hello faithful few...Today I come to you still not having my computer available. The good news is I found one and I should have it sometime next week. So I know I made mention in my last post about writing my Black History post this week but because of some circumstances and having to work so much this past week I haven' had the chance to gather my thoughts. Wow that was a long sentence. LOL!

Next week I will do my post and it will still be about black history eventhough we will technically be in Women's History Month, I believe. I apologize to you my Blogities, who might have looked forward to my Black History post. Fret not, for next week you will have it. That's all I have for you guys this week.

Until next week sometime, namaste and stay strong...

Just some meager ramblings...

Hello faithful few, its that time again. I am sorry that I did not get back to you guys earlier like I said I would but I had a busy first part of the week and also I found out that my computer is toast. The motherboard went up on it and it cost almost as much as the laptop just for a replacement one. I have been searching for a new though so hopefully before I go on vacation, I should have a new one. Hopefully! Anyway Blogites, I just thought I would check in and let you guys know what was going on with me.

My next post on the last day of the month the last day of black history month will be about black history month. I hope you guys are looking forward to it!

Until sometime next week, namaste and stay strong...

Until sometime next week, namaste and stay strong...

Habari...

Hello faithful few, its that time again. This week I have some work for you guys. It is a little something I did while I was watching this documentary on blacks who have emigrated to South Africa from the US. Just watching this show had me so motivated.

Its a pretty crude pastel drawing a la my hero Basquiat. As I was drawing it, I was also taking in what these people were saying. It was as if I was a painter who was on stage while someone was giving a speech and this was a visual interpretation of that speech. It felt really good to feed off of what I was watching. I tried to lay down everything as quick as possible and not focus too much on proportions or any likeness to any person. I wanted to grab a sense of being or a sense of strength in the drawing but still holding true to the softness of the subject. A subject, who for all intents and purposes could be just about in woman of African descent.

That's all I have for you guys this week. So tell me what you think. All comments are welcomed. I have talked about it so now with out further ado:



Until sometime next week, namaste and stay strong...
