Content Creation Is an Art
10 years ago, not everyone could pursue writing or video making. And even if you could, it would not help you earn a living out of it. You needed to have a credible education to back your knowledge and even then not all would be able to pursue it.

British Black Artists. Top Story - June 2020.
If I were not in my twenties and attempting to budget like a proper adult, I would have spent the majority of my money on artwork by now. Instead I have developed a slight addiction to scrolling through Instagram for hours on end, flicking from artist to artist and admiring their work. Additionally, if I see a piece of artwork that I like in a gallery or museum, I’ll purchase it in the form of a postcard or print, as this is the most efficient way of cluttering my walls with artwork without spending lots of money. However, I have not taken much time to notice how whitewashed my Instagram art feed and my wall of postcards have both become. Without even noticing, I have severely disregarded the lack of diversity in the artists that I admire and purchase from.

Just A Painter
Just a Painter Preface I never asked for any of this, I guess a lot of people say that when they are in trouble. I saw this coming, and I still couldn’t stop it. Do I regret meeting her? Maybe. If I hadn't met her she'd be safe, stress-free. We wouldn't be fighting for our lives. Most say that's what you do when you're in love - you fight for it. I told her time and time again, that it was going to happen and I'm not worth it. Lucky for me, she's stubborn...and I love her so much for that.

Coastal Creation
A large man, in a loosely fitting denim coat and black trousers, sat upon a frail wooden chair facing out to sea. Everything he wore had douses of colour flicked upon them, only his weathered sandals seemed to escape the spray of paint. In front of him stood a blank canvas on which he precisely began making small marks with a pencil trapped between the stubby fingers of his calloused hand. The canvas slowly began to portray a depiction of the sea, and its surrounding sand and cliff-faced environment. The chair sank deeper and deeper into the beaches’ sand with every stroke of granite.

If the shoe fits.
IF THE SHOE FITS The shoe has often defined our characters, personalities and created prestige. Through out many generations, it has evolved in both style and fashion. It has transcended many generations, inspiring artist, designers and musicians. The shoe has propped up models and fashion artist to cat-walk on stage...it has defined our civilization. Yet, the shoe was born out of necessity to protect the feet which has one of the most bones in the body (some 26) bones. At the exhibit is the chance to 'learn the art and sole of the shoe, to trace its footprints through history and culture. Part fantasy, part function, this exhibit looks at footwear from every angle, and features shoe design, sculpture, and invention, plus a bonus of shoe-painting designs and workshops .

Post your content online please!
I am like millions of you out there. I've hesitated at posting things for the longest time. There are a multitude of reasons why you shouldn't post your content online. To each their own but your art should be observed by the world. You really shouldn't hold yourself back with pessimistic thoughts or worry about the reasons why you're posting in the first place. Trust me I've been there and here are some of the reasons why I didn't post my stuff.

Looking through my sketchbook
So I was outside painting and drawing. I was trying to find inspiration for what I should draw so I drew Stewie. I was happy with my work but I thought it needed just a bit more. I just knew something was missing. So I went to show the drawing to my parents and my dad had the idea that I draw a new version of Stewie. And so I did. Stewie's name is now Li'l Drew, and as you can see has now has cornrows. I actually really like this one.

The 5 Most Famous Paintings in the World
Art. Comes in many forms, but painting has claimed a lot of fame and recognition over the years. When someone says they're an artist, you typically envision them as a painter first. This is because painting as an art form has been around for more than 30,000 years, dating back to the first paintings that now reside in Grotte Chauvet, France.

Art: The Unrecognized Essential of 2020
Locked libraries and somber studios. Coffee shops gone quiet. These places, and the traditions within them, are the ghosts of the lives we led not long ago. To acknowledge as much is to recognize that there has been death, both literal and figurative, within our lives. Grief, amongst many other emotions, is as universal as it is individual, and as simple as it is complex. In a time as unprecedented as this, it is appropriate to grieve everything and anything, as this one emotion is responsible for so many others.
