A necessary critique and she not alone there are a bunch of other female and male minstrel acts that deserve critique as well. All art ain’t good and once in the marketplace of ideas this is a result. We in the age though of unhealthy adulation…

I love this country, but being Black in America is fucking hard. Not only do I have pressures of work and family like everyone else, but I also see the hatred against people like me. For the record, the hatred just motivates me. It makes me work harder and with more conviction.

As an agency owner with a little bit of spare cash, one thing I think I can do to help right now is create opportunities for work for those who want it.
If you're an illustrator looking for some freelance work due to COVID-19, we'd like to help. We'd like to commission 10 of you at $500 each to do a series that helps the world deal with COVID-19 in at least a small way.
