My sisterFam @rumshakerzs gave me the BEST gift this evening; the #screening and #paneldiscussion of the ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS #documentary #movie,@Mrsoulthemovie at @apollotheater about #ElisHaizlip and his wonderful show #Soul! on #publictelevision. The Kelley’s were off the #plantation those years but I promise you that if we had been here I’m sure it’s something we would have watched religiously. What an amazing man and what an amazing tribute directed by his niece. I can’t give it enough #praise, and that was BEFORE I saw Poppy’s book #Dem by #williammelvinkelley (the version with cover designed by #leoanddianedillon) do a slow segue across the #screen. Narrated by the (*cough* gorgeous) @blairunderwood_official it is truly worth seeing and so #uplifting. Seek it out. #itsworthit. Oh and the group #BlackIvory sang and they still got it. And my sis @gumbeauxgal brought me cupcakes. THANK YOU, FAM!! https://www.instagram.com/p/BuK0B2tF9Xk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1apavhkaofxk8

🧚🏼♂️Beautiful piece! Time to elevate the field holding a sacred placement to touch with source. I am one and have traveled to place my print. The original frequency will always be mine. Must remember how it feels to flutter. What is your higher self telling you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mood #feels #mothlady #moth #butterfly #beauty #moodswings #higherself #elevating #frequencies #stargate #leoanddianedillon #toomuchoverthinking #beautifulpiece

Since it's Monday and because I have to work today without much time for art, I decided to feature one of my favorite artists. Or rather, two of my favorite artists because this work was all a collaboration between a husband and wife team. I love the work of Leo and Diane Dillon because of the versatility. They use beautiful color in their representational work, and that adds a beautiful interpretive voice. Have any artists out there done work closely like this with another artist? What was your experience like? Go check out more of their work! #illustration #favoriteart #leoanddianedillon #americanillustration

Working on a Ella Fitzgerald paper cut for an exhibit in Newport News. Here are some books I used for inspiration, information and just to get my design juices flowing. I am so excited about this.. . I am using her song, I've got the World on a String. Also, I love the illustrations from Leo and Diane Dillon. They just make me ☺. . . . . . #washingtoncut #inspiration #ellafiztgerald #papercut #papercutartist #vaartist #exhibit #wip #patterns #motifs #art #cutpapert #sings #blackhistorymonth #afrocentric #leoanddianedillon #illustrators #books

Good morning! Did I tell you all my shop made another sale? I am so grateful for women asking me and trusting me to help them on their journey, postpartum or not! Women are such beautiful creatures, I love us, we hold this mountain of creativity within, it comes from being natural manifestors, it is in the wiring of our brain. My heart melts probably 1000x a day seeing what all those I follow are up to, all at different stages, but also so woman and so real and so royal. All women are Queens, I don't care what your job is, your education, your history, your future, your wealth, or your looks. 🌿🌹 #womanhood #blackart #blackmanart #blackartist #LeoandDianeDillon #africanart #king #sisterhood #queening #bellybinding
