Been playing a bunch of Hades lately and this idea has been on my mind. Finally found the time to paint it!

Initiation, Liberia
Lois Mailou Jones
Nov 3, 1905 - Jun 9, 1998

"Loïs Mailou Jones was an influential artist and teacher during her seven-decade career. Jones was one of the most notable figures to attain notoriety for her art while living as a black expatriate in Paris during the 1930s and 1940s. Her career began in textile design before she decided to focus on fine arts. Jones looked towards Africa and the Caribbean and her experiences in life when painting. As a result, her subjects were some of the first paintings by an African-American artist to extend beyond the realm of portraiture. Jones was influenced by the Harlem Renaissance movement and her countless international trips.

Jones was especially sensitive to the rights and roles of women. For many years she felt forced to ship rather than deliver her work in person so museums would not reject them because they had been done by a black female artist. In Initiation, Liberia, she interpreted the Sande society initiation ritual. The swath of white paint across the young woman’s eyes indicates her role as an initiate. The mask partly obscures her distinctive personality but combined with the receding profiles at the left of her head, suggests continuity over generations that is implied by the ritual ceremony."

So Redbubble, the site where I sell my t-shirt designs, is now making masks! They're not available to the public yet (Soon!) but artists can start posting designs.

Any requests for incredible designs?
What design, not fabric, would you love to have on a mask? Wolfish grin? Pouty lips? That guy from the Ironman movie that was born in the dark? Comment!

Mmmm, peeling off the masking of my holographic Moon painting.

These videos are so hard to shoot, but so worth it.

I knew that glass would be hard to draw. Especially in pen. With no preliminary sketch. I did it anyway. That is art. You DO IT ANYWAY. You can only get better. Remember practice is the most important thing. Do it. Hate it. Do it again. Repeat until you think maybe it doesn't suck. Look at it again in 2 months. Realize whoops, yeah that definitely sucked. Then . Hashtag glass is super hard to draw :D — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2W62sJZ
