So, for those who don't know (or haven't read my bio), I'm a teacher in my secret identity. I'm currently teaching my students how to use Photoshop (Photopea). when I teach, I like to do real-time demonstrations, not just so that my students learn the technology, but also to show them the mental process and active choices a designer makes when creating work...

Then, just messing around, I sometimes create concepts that are just fun for me.

This is one such concept. I envision this property an action comedy with a nod to the "Blaxploitation" era of Black Action Cinema. This series is in the vein of flicks like They Cloned Tyrone or even The Book of Clarence.

As with the "If I Were So Inclined" series (which will be the subject of an article for 4 Pages 16 Bars: A Visual Mixtape), this design series was created using found imagery, no prompts.

Enjoy!

On this last day of 2024, a reflection...

This was one hell of a year. I celebrated 25 years of Griot Enterprises, can you believe it? This baby has been going on since 1999. What started out as a hope and a dream became a goal and, ultimately, an institution.

2024 was the year I truly felt like I was a member of this comic book community. Being an architect of the upcoming Epiphany Engine and designer for Afrofutures Magazine was the realization of a dream I had since the age of 16. This is the culmination of an art movement's 30-year evolution. Much like the Harlem Renaissance (which celebrates 100 years in 2025) and Hip Hop, is here to stay.

All of this was preparation the next phase of my career.

Becoming Creative Director for Rocbottom Studios, the animation studio that will be producing the Horsemen Animated Series, was not on my bingo card, but I definitely won a jackpot. I now have the opportunity to not only take my IP to the next level, but I also am able to help creators take their visions to their logical apex. Is it different from my role of being a teacher for all these years? Not really, which is why I'm up for the challenge.

Don't get me wrong, not everything was peaches and cream. I had some really rough times this year. But, the community had my back, and I found a deeper love, the proper love, I need to move forward.

Yeah, we got work to do because it's about to be rough in these streets, but I'm ready for it.

So, raise a glass to 2024. In 2025, LET'S GO!
