QUOTATIONS OF "BLACK"

"Whenever I use BLACK it relates to some history of Africans in that particular place. It’s the idea of the color BLACK as a metaphor, or as a representation of African-Americans. It’s the notion of BLACK- BLACKNESS - and all its other meanings in relation to the history of race..."

- Fred Wilson

"Most of my fortitude to continue doing the work comes from the moral outrage I feel about the injustices that Black people endure disproportionately daily."

- N. Abdul-Wakil

"In the end, what matters is not skin shade but pan-African consciousness. Loving your complexion, your nose, lips, hair length and texture, no matter what the politics or trends decide, and simply be. That's the problem with us (African folks). We're still learning how to love ourselves. So used to glorifying others and putting others first..."

Black Panther Sculptures
Marvel Superheroes by Bowen Designs

Hey FAM,

One of my closest best friends Steve just called me a half hour ago to let me know what's going on in the superhero comic book world. Though I already stumbled upon it the other day, he was letting me know about the new Green Hornet comic book that's coming out. You can see the four variant covers to issue #1 below.

Green Hornet #1 (4 Variant Covers)

HOWEVER! THE MOST EXCITING NEWS WAS WHEN HE TOLD ME TO CHECK OUT BOWENDESIGNS.COM

I go to the website over there and I IMMEDIATELY SEE NOT ONE, BUT TWO NEW STATUES OF BLACK PANTHER!!!!! Take a look at the pics below! IS HE NOT OFF DA CHAIN OR WHAT???!! ESPECIALLY THE MODERN COSTUME!! I LOVE IT!!

T'Challa, The Black Panther, King of Wakanda
(Modern Costume)

T'Challa, The Black Panther, King of Wakanda

These Black Panther statues are just ultra-qool!! Fo' reall!! LOVE it!!

Now, the only other thing that I could ask for would be to have a qool ass sculpture of the new female Black Panther! Can you imagine that???!! I'd like to see a sculpture based upon the art and her stance from the Black Panther #1 cover below Whoooaaaa!!!! That's be vicious!!
