Description

"'portraits of the homies' is an exploration in ensuring that the history of Black America in the early-to-mid 21st century as experienced on Twitter Spaces by the Great American A•Illustrator 💃🏾🔺 (aka will from Ugly Teacher's Club) is never erased. Starting as a simple collection to preserve the history of the Midjourney Expansion (and their allies) of the early 2020s, it grew into a major movement that did not wane until the late'80s, being a staying influence upon the school that became known as the Post-Midjourney Expansion, which hailed long into the 22nd century."

I kind of hate describing my artwork besides a generalization of the idea behind the collection, but here's a randomly generated description of this specific piece using Isabel Kim’s "Infinite Artwork Simulator," and this is what will be on the little white card next to the piece if it's ever in a physical space.

"nicci," 2022

shared food, drink, music, and performance, fabric, apples.

This work is a resonating and contrasting, shaped-format set of sparse shots of pink, figures, animals, and cityscapes consisting of flowers which is reminiscent of the pursuit of creativity.

The work deploys architecture as alluding to left-wing radicalism."
