Major Thanks to @caynite (pictured with his daughter) the co-founder and creative trail blazer behind The Art of Reading, one of his many campaigns to make a positive difference in inner-city schools and communities! Incredible photo of the potential of powerful imagery in our school systems. In the words of Harry Belafonte "Artist's are the gatekeepers of the future." Preshate the photo shoot, great seeing you and @teking_832 ! #theshawnartisgallery #dreambig #yellowstoneacademy #3rdward #houstonartist #htx #houstonart #dallasart #austinart #atlantaart #losangelesart #brooklynart #newyorkart #denverart #mfah #hmaac #lawndaleartcenter #eastendstudiogallery #viacolori #projectrowhouse #mural #artbaselmiami #scopeartshow #bombayartisanseries #blackrobots #artflowhtx (at Yellowstone Academy)

'Deep concentration cuz I'm no comedian' ...Rakim. Live at @yellowstoneacademy putting it down on my mural "Dream BIG". Photo compliments of @caynite co-founder of The Art of Reading and the architect behind integrating real art by real artists inside of inner-city schools so our children can see the importance of imagery and community service. Thanks again for the opportunity to change the world through art! #theshawnartisgallery #yellowstoneacademy #dreambig #muralart #3rdward #houstonartist #houstonart #mfah #hmaac #projectrowhouses #lawndaleartcenter #eastendstudiogallery #midtownartscenter #viacolori #artbaselmiami #losangelesart #atlantaart #brooklynart #newyorkart #denverart #chicagoart #payitforward #renaissential #artflowhtx (at Yellowstone Academy)

"Ali" ... ink and graphite on paper. "Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong" ... Muhammad Ali. 1942 - 2016. Stay tuned for prints! #ali #theshawnartisgallery #charlottesville #eraseracism #socialengineering #houstonartist #houstonart #mfah #lawndaleartcenter #hmaac #viacolori #eastendstudiogallery #sbghotels #artbaselmiami #miamiartweek #miamiart #dallasart #austinart #atlantaart #losangelesart #newyorkart #brooklynart #denverart #boxing #blackrobots #renaissential #artflowhtx (at Houston, Texas)

"The Constellation of Nina" ...40' x 18' aerosol and acrylic mural. This progression shot captures one of the many murals I'm imbedding within a larger mural at Yellowstone Academy in 3rd ward Texas. My concept is to tell several stories within a larger story somewhat similar to how many sacred scrolls are broken up in various parts. To me each part has to be found, assembled correctly, and interpreted in a way that uplifts and inspires YOU. It's imperative that you see yourself in every model that you choose to consume if not you're bound to fail. In this section I examine Nina Simone and fixate her into the galaxies so that her image can be adorned for centuries to come. #theconstellationofnina #theshawnartisgallery #nina #ninasimone #yellowstoneacademy #artflowhtx #hmaac #mfah #viacolori #eastendstudiogallery #midtownartscenter #artbaselmiami #artbasel #houstonartist #houstonart #dallasart #atlantaart #brooklynart #denverart #losangelesart #sbghotels #tokyoart #blackrobots (at Yellowstone Academy)
