Today I will not draw joy... Today I draw Pain. Today I sketch Injustice.
Today I paint a prayer... "If I shall die before my run, I pray the Lord my case is won."

His name is Ahmir “Smiley” Jolliff, and because America cannot go one week without a mass shooting, I will be dedicating my first Sunday Sketch of the year to 11 year old Ahmir’s life. Another victim of terrorist gun violence while at school.
George Floyd's killer has been convicted on all three counts.

While there can never be a perfect level of Justice given in response to Big Floyd's life being taken, I hope his family finds some form of peace in this verdict.

was a 23 year old Indian student pursuing her Masters Degree, whose life was taken by Seattle police, many of whom decided to laugh and mock her life and death immediately after she was hit by their patrol car.
My final Sunday Sketch of 2023…
It’s a tribute to the 100+ journalists who have lost their lives in Gaza, and a reminder of the bravery they’ve shown in opening this necessary window to the world, in the face of unrelenting war crimes.
Aug.13 1963! Bernie Sanders, chained to two other activists, was arrested, protesting the segregation of Chicago Schools. Bernie was chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) student chapter. Twitterfam…I must say..His record speaks for itself.

Kobe's daughter Gigi is gone as well and sketching is all I can do to stop my tears.😔
This parenting moment is one that I hope will live on forever.

Daunte Wright’s son is not much older than mine...
I cannot imagine being taken from my son.
I cannot understand how Black children “accidentally” get murdered by police at a rate exponentially higher than anyone else.
I cannot....

Say His Name.
1- This beautiful little girl should be alive right now, but instead we're saying
#RIPJazmineBarnes
...
2-Jazmine's family has created a page where you can help contribute to Justice for their daughter >>

on a skateboard. In his element.
…where he had time to reflect on life.
…where he had time to envision his future with his 4 year old son.
…where he had time to just be.
Freely.
Wow!
@Converse
asked me to share my artistic perspective on the priceless value of Black lives. They shifted their Fall campaign plans and granted billboard spaces to me as part of their commitment to amplify the voices of Black creatives around the world. 🙏🏾

⁃Imagine a teenager named
#RalphYarl
rings your doorbell, and your immediate (racist and hate filled) response is to shoot him in the head…
⁃Imagine being such a terrible human being that your next move is to shoot Ralph AGAIN, after he falls to the ground…
I made this for Ronald Desantis. I think I should put this on a giant billboard next to his mansion, in Florida. In the state where diversity is not allowed. The state where my books are banned for having a Black protagonist and discussing racial equality.
#WOKE
But "Land of the Free" though, right?🇺🇸

2-Seeking asylum is legal.. the penalty is not inhumane treatment.
3- Debate with these little malnourished children about whether or not these freezers feel like concentration camps... don't debate amongst yourselves...
Wow....... speechless🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing

💛 We need your leadership so much right now. Honored that my art could contribute to this cause.
Like so many of you, I’m pained by these recent tragedies. And I’m exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop. Right now it’s George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric, Sandra, and Michael. It just goes on, and on, and on.
Do you know anyone with kids who might like this book? =D

Nina Simone was classically trained on the piano at a young age.
But at some point she realized she couldn’t just play what was given to her… she had to reflect the times through her craft. A rule of hers that I will always live by.
This is “Nina, age 14”

would have graduated from high school this year. I'm proud to partner with
@civilrightsorg
to pay tribute to Tamir's life, which was cut short by police brutality at only 12 years old. Today, on his birthday, we must demand change.
