Felt antsy about not moving paint around, so here is a small sketch of the one and only @kwaye. Kwaye is one of my top favorites of the past year or so! Vocals? Smooth, controlled, delicate and powerful and soaring, textured, and such luscious harmonies. Dancing? The polyrhythms of the diaspora live in Kwaye’s body. It’s joyful to watch. And then his style, his videos, and his colors are lovely. I look at his videos such as What Have You Done, Cool Kids, and Sweetest Life to anchor myself and my art in what contemporary joy and resilience can look like (when I feel like I’ve been drawing too many characters from the spirit world) The music? Such rich productions and layered songwriting. The music is just so soulful and warm, whether it’s a bop or a mooooood. Sometimes as an african-queer-intersectional-creator with braids, I get used to micoraggressions that boil down to “Hey! This person is black and creative. They even have braids/locs! You would like them”. So it is such a joy when, the music and creativity truly resonates and touches the soul. #sketchbook #kwaye #love&affliction #acrylicpainting #odera #oderaigbokwe https://www.instagram.com/p/BppjQQXBpcZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aylxxz2izs9w -- source link
