Christmas art
If you have seen the movie 'It's a Wonderful Life' you have heard this quote many times. Every year I watch this movie and hear JuJu, George Bailey's youngest child, say this line for it brings a smile to my face every time I hear it. This is another Christmas picture that I used crayon with reds, greens, and gold for the main picture red for the berries and ribbon and gold for the bell and wings and green for the holly leaves and the wreath. I used brown and black for the border that I think is a wall and black for the words of the quote.

When Time Forgot to Behave
In the vast silence of the desert, where the land stretched like an unbroken thought and the sky hovered in patient blue, there hung a clock from the arm of a dead tree. It was an old pocket watch, silver once, now softened and drooping as if it had grown tired of its own certainty. Time, it seemed, had forgotten how to stay rigid.

Christmas art
Another illustration from Valentin Ramon and his Christmas movie coloring book. This really could be from any of the movies he presented in his book. Sorry for the blurry picture for I took it on a cloudy day. I used crayons with this picture using colors red, purple, yellow. green and gold for the bells and more yellow for the garland and stars are gold. I used brown for what I think is either a wall or a door where the wreath maybe hanging.

A Modern African Tarot
The third card in A Modern African Tarot deepens the journey begun by O FOOL and I MAGICIAN. Where the Fool steps into possibility and the Magician channels intention, the High Priestess turns inward—toward silence, intuition, and ancestral knowing. She is the guardian of mystery, the voice between worlds, and the embodiment of spiritual depth.

A Modern African Tarot
The second card in A Modern African Tarot continues the journey begun by O FOOL. Where the Fool walks forward into layered realities, I MAGICIAN stands still—anchored, intentional, and aware of his tools. This card reimagines the traditional Magician archetype through the lens of African intellect, spiritual agency, and modern mastery.

A Modern African Tarot
Tarot has always been more than cards—it’s a mirror, a guide, a way to tell our stories. For centuries, the decks most people know—like the Rider Waite Smith—have been built on European imagery and symbolism. Castles, knights, biblical archetypes… powerful in their context, but distant for those of us whose roots and rhythms are African. These images speak to a worldview shaped by medieval Europe, but they often feel foreign when held in African hands.

A Modern African Tarot
This card marks the beginning of a powerful journey—a series of African-themed Major Arcana reimaginings that will culminate in the final card: The World. Each card in this series is designed to reflect modern African life, symbolism, and spirit, offering a fresh lens through which to explore timeless archetypes. We begin, as all journeys do, with O FOOL.

The Woman Who Became a Mirror
In the history of performance art, few moments have struck the human conscience as sharply as what unfolded in a modest gallery in Naples in 1974. It was an experiment that involved no words, no movement, and no stage—only a woman, a table of seventy-two objects, and the unpredictable landscape of the human soul. To this day, Marina Abramović’s Rhythm 0 remains one of the most disturbing, enlightening, and unforgettable explorations of human behavior ever witnessed.
