Here's "Routes to Revolution 2" 2021 In celebration of Pride Month. It uses several (but not all), of the flags associated with the LGBTQ+ community to rally against the remaining discriminatory practices and ideals they face. Its especially important for minority groups to support one another. I created this exactly one year after the original "Routes to Revolution" It's interesting to think about what has changed since then and what hasn't. I had this idea immediately after finishing the first one, but wanted to give it space to breath. I honestly had no idea there were so many flags. Was fun to research, and a challenge to make them work together. You can learn more about them here: https://ift.tt/2TxgRwS . . . . . . . #donavonmadethat #pridemonth #pride #blacktranslivesmatter #beanally #ally #equality #loveislove #raisedfist #blackpower #illustration #art #artistofinstagram #artoftheday #illustration #adobeillustrator #bayareaartist #blackartist #sanfrancisco #oakland @adobedrawing @adobecreativecloud — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3zgKmpK

How delightful is this? A 4th grade student from @southsideelementaryscs saw my piece "Patterns and Possibilities" at the @embracingourdifferences exhibit and was inspired to write a poem about it.

Self Portrait 153: Vodka Tonic from 2013. Are self portraits fan art? Are they an act of self love/care? . . . . . #donavonmadethat #art #drawing #prismacolor #markers @prismacolor @strathmoreart #strathmorepaper #blue #vodka #drawing #sketch #traditionalart — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3gPpC1Q

I forgot I never shared this Wilt Chamberlain piece I did for @battleofthebayart art show "@artofgsw ." Titled "The Big Dipper" Wilt played for the Warriors when they first moved to SF! I wanted to combine a classic photo of him with the retro uniforms (recently repopularized) that came a decade after him. Since I knew I wouldn't have time to shade this one I wanted to make sure the linework and figure silhouettes were interesting enough the carry the piece. . . . . . . #donavonmadethat #art #adobe #adobeillustrator #supportblackart #artistofinstagram #illustration #blackart #basketball #nba #retro #gsw #thecity #conciousbasketball #goldenstatewarriors #wiltthestilt #wiltchamberlain #thebigdipper #sf #sanfrancisco #dubs #warriors #dubsagainstheworld #sfart #sports #sportball #oakland — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3dT2fTp

Here is a short animated piece "Rosa Parks Dhanurasana" I made for a BHM collab with a Black Motion Design Collective I'm a part of @helloblacksmiths.

Self portraits 195, 196 and 197. Playing with some proportions a bit more after that #robertvalley class. When you do as many self portraits I have over the years you amass many critiques about how things don't look like you for various reasons. Your ____isnt that big/small, why are you blue, etc. This over the years has made me shy away from greatly exaggerated proportions across most of my pieces...even with all the abstraction I do. Improvement is important, but listening to opinions too much will often water down your flavor. . . . . . #donavonmadethat #selfie #selfportrait #art #blackman #beard #drawing #sketches #10 #figuredrawing #sketchbook #drawing #draw #draweveryday #cartooning #sanfrancisco #sfartist — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/39uDc6y

"Desert Vibes 03" During the shoot for "Desert Vibes 02: Corona Heights" with @kerensouth my phone took a bunch of accidental motion photos I was able to export as video. Strung some of said video together to make this. Wanted to experiment with bringing my geometric style to animation then to live video. This actually shows how I work in a way. Looking for circles and straight lines in figurative forms. . . This 6 seconds of animation took weeks. Rotoscoping is always the worst, but lends fun results sometimes I don't own the music here. It's by #GonzaloBergera. 1 more piece from this collaboration coming. . . . . . . #donavonmadethat #animation #aftereffects #adobe #motion #2danimation #compositing #musicvideo #desert #motiongraphics #illustrator #vector #geometry #sacredgeometry #circles #coronaheights #sanfrancisco #model #blackwoman #blackartist #naturalhair #helloblacksmiths #dopeblackart #bayareaartist #googlepixel

"Lost in Meditation 1-12" prints and apparel are live! Shirt is cool, but I think I'm most hype about the yoga mat and floor pillow. Om with the boys. Also if you're interested jump on it quick. That website always tends to take down all licensed materials after a while.

Happy Halloween. Shall we summon the Great Pumpkin? Vince Guaraldi - Great Pumpkin Waltz (Charlie Brown 1966) Notes: While the notes to this slow waltz aren't complex, reading the sheet music was a real challenge. It doubles back on itself multiple times and found it easy to get lost and difficult to memorize. #vinceguaraldi #charliebrown #uprightbass rightbass #douboebass #greatpumpkin #jazz

Exciting news! My piece "Patterns and Possibilities 1-6" Have been selected to be apart of the @embracingourdifferences exhibit in FL again! Meaning it will be blown up to billboard size. While this is my 3rd opportunity to to display with EoD it's the most meaningful because of this: I often speak about rejection and persistence. This is a great example. I wanted to do this series for a long time. Took a ton of research and more hours than usual to make. Yet wasn't terribly popular (what IS popularity even?). I submitted it last year and it wasn't accepted. Because I love this piece a lot I decided to try again and low and behold It got in. I'm incredibly honored and can't wait to see it in person.

Should I finish this? It's been a while. A few weeks ago @nobelyoo and @artofazero invited @infinitedimensionalvectorcake @cfhhunt and myself to compete in the first "King of Art Pilot"(google that to watch the episode) theme was Royal. So I drew this Cactus queen. We had 30 mins. My work, freelance commitments and life in general have been wild this month. Hope to return to illustrating soon. #donavonmadethat #cactus #drawing #catsofinstagram #cactusqueen #queen #royal #socal #desert #desertvibes #diamonds #diamondsareforever #diamondsareagirlsbestfriend #crown #drawing #sketch — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2Gq4DSM
