A really beautiful video for Brazilian singer Cibelle’s stunning cover of Tom Waits’ “Green Grass”…& also the great Tom Waits singing Tom Waits’ “Green Grass”:

After Myth

I’m really into these new tracks, the powerful concept & the work behind them. I’m also loving Freddy D. on the cover – the style of which echoes David Bowie’s “Heroes“. Thought I’d share Teo Blake’s debut album, “Death to Sambo”:

I really enjoyed New York artist Sara Rahbar’s Flag Series – a powerful, beautifully-titled collection of re-imagined U.S. flags made from textile and mixed media:

Blonde Moment

Erykah Badu, The Roots, and others performed at the Hennessy Artistry event in New York this week. I had to look twice, like, is that you Erykah? And wanted to share her dopeness:

Color, Excluded

Maaaan. It’s been too long. Enjoy these great paintings by Atlanta’s Amy Sherald:

"Puppetmaster"

From Sherald’s artist statement:

My work began as an exploration to exclude the idea of color as race from my paintings by removing “color” but still portraying racialised bodies as objects to be viewed through portraiture. These paintings originated as a creation of a fairytale, illustrating an alternate existence in response to a dominant narrative of black history.
