Spotlight Feature: Black Artists, Illustrators, Makers + Creators To Celebrate
From one maker to another, I’m using my platform this week to elevate and highlight some amazingly talented black creators. Support them if you have the means. Celebrate them and their work and share it in every way that you can.
Continue to push on learning and continue to be gentle with yourself and those around you.
Keep giving and spreading love.
If you are a black artist, creator, illustrator, photographer, maker — please share your handle or website in the comments so that I may lift up your voice and your work on my instagram!
Non-black friends: leave me a comment with any black creators you admire or who have impacted you so that I can share their work, too!
Some Amazingly talented black creatives:
Loveis Wise - @loveiswiseillu
Their illustration style is so lovely! I could share every single thing designed by them.
Jade Purple Brown - @jadepurplebrown
Author, artist, rug designer . . . Jade Purple Brown has fabulousness flowing out her fingertips.
Laci Jordan - @solacilike
Her style is SO GOOD. I’m all about bright colors and pop art!
Morgan Harper Nichols - @morganharpernichols
Morgan is such a beautiful artist and now author! Her work has gotten me through more than one anxiety attack; her words are poetry and her affirmations are so, so soothing. If I’m having a bad day I find some of her work and immerse myself in it.
Noa Denmon - @noadenmon
Her style gives me an old school comic book vibe, and I really dig it!
Temi Coker - @temi.coker
Love his style! A majorly talented photographer and graphic designer with a swoony portfolio. I love his pop-take on traditional portraiture.
Adé Hogue - @adehogue
Jack-of-all-trades, Adé Hogue is an amazingly talented letterer & typographer, and dabbles in some beautiful mixed media, enamel pins, bandanas, and other awesome goods.
Osa Atoe - @potterybyosa
I love her colors and design style. So beautiful and dreamy! Like a rusted penny.
