I adore art.

Particularly "[size=18pt]black art[/size]".

I got the inspiration from another thread but decided to start my own.
So this is a thread for all "black art" lovers. I'll post BA from black artists
from all over.

Feel free to add. If not then just enjoy.

This first feature is from my favorite AA artist by the name of [size=18pt]"WAK"[/size].

Simply amazing!!!

check out his work here:

http://www.itsablackthang.com/AfricanAmericanArt.htm

he is known to create limited editions of full paintings that are purchased in halves or sections.

see a sample of two pictures he created. I fused them together of course



I love her "Bantu bumps". I used to rock that 'do' as a child!

This brother is TOO talented!

This picture speaks volumes!
I was going to make this my profile picture but decided not to
only because it of the cross (I am not religious and don't want to
convey that - not knocking anyone's beliefs)...but other wise this picture is a true
masterpiece!!



I love the Afro.Centric vibe I get from it.
From the hair style to the gold earring. It's definitely something we all can relate to.

I love these isolated and seemingly random pictures of
black women who appear to be into themselves.

The "soul searching" and "self appreciation" pictures are the ultimate
for me. This is definitely a combination of both.

There is so much meaning to these things and only someone with an eye
for and appreciation for art know what I mean.

I had this as my profile picture.

Just awesome!

Peep that sister's shape!
This is for sale at close to $600.00 (U.S.)

call me crazy but I think it's worth it.

This segment is to appreciate the diversity
in the black race.

Skin tone, hair type and shape. Gotta love being black!

I like this one.

Definitely "out of the norm".

I like the bronze color used for the women's complexions and the
warm tone.

Another hot one!

THEY NEED YOU! Always be there for them!

A bit stereotypical however, from an AA's perspective
this is pride.

No offense intended.

The best kind there is....Love in Black.
