A pencil sketch of a person taking a mirror selfie, standing in a relaxed pose with one hip slightly out. They’re wearing a hoodie and socks, and appear to be pushing the hoodie outward with one hand, which exaggerates the shape of their midsection. A colorful cartoon crown sticker covers their eyes. Flame emojis are placed over the hips and upper thigh area for modesty and emphasis. On the right, a partial mirror reflection shows the same figure from the side. The drawing has a loose, in-progress feel on textured paper.

A detailed pencil drawing of a person taking a mirror selfie. They wear a baseball cap, glasses, a hoodie, and socks, standing with one hip slightly angled and holding a phone up to take the picture. The hoodie is pushed outward, creating an exaggerated curve at the midsection. A red chili pepper emoji is placed over the hip/thigh area for modesty. On the right, a mirror reflects the figure from the side. The scene includes a tiled floor and a small round table or stool in the foreground, with the drawing rendered in a warm, textured style.

Still working on him. It’s a little lazy because i only used two pencils lol. He’s not pregnant just using his other hand inside the hoodie to stretch it out he’s in a dressing room. A pepper because it’s spicy lol.

Melvin Edwards, Sculptor Who Wove Black History Into Art, Dies at 88

American Artist Melvin Edwards 🕊️ has died. Here‘s a gift link to his @nytimes.com obituary. ⛓️‍💥 ⛓️‍💥 ⛓️‍💥

Would love to have read the letter he wrote to the Whitney. I wonder if there’s a copy in its archives, or Mr Edwards’.

Don’t forget you can find me on Cara! #caraartist #blackartists

Work-in-progress pencil sketch of a person’s face and upper torso, drawn at a slight diagonal angle. The figure wears a knit beanie and large over-ear headphones, with a calm, slightly smiling expression and relaxed eyes. The facial features are softly shaded, with attention to the lips, cheeks, and a bit of texture along the chin. The nose and eyes are lightly detailed, giving a gentle, expressive look. The figure appears to be wearing a simple shirt, with only the neckline and shoulders loosely outlined. Most of the detail is concentrated in the face, while the rest of the body remains minimal and unfinished. The lines are sketchy and organic, with visible pencil strokes and light cross-hatching that emphasize the piece as a work in progress. The overall style feels intimate and expressive, capturing mood more than precision. The background is blank, and the drawing is clearly in an early stage, inviting future layers such as ink, watercolor, pastel, or other mixed media.

Current work in progress. Pencil and ink rn… maybe it will be a watercolor. Or pastel? Or crayon? Ion know. What do y’all think!?!?!

a woman in a red dress is singing into a microphone on a stage with a momento logo in the corner Alt: Diana Ross (born March 26, 1944) is an American singer and actress. Known as the "Queen of Motown Records", she was the lead singer of the vocal group the Supremes, who became Motown's most successful act during the 1960s and one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. They remain the best-charting female group in history, with a total of 12 number-one pop singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Following her departure from the Supremes in 1970, Ross embarked on a successful solo music career with the release of her eponymous debut solo album. She went on to release 26 studio albums, including Touch Me in the Morning (1973), Diana Ross (1976), Diana (1980), Why Do Fools Fall in Love (1981) and Swept Away (1984). Ross was named the "Female Entertainer of the Century" by Billboard in 1976. Since her solo career began in 1970, Ross has sold over 100 million records worldwide. She is the only female artist to have had U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles as a solo artist, as the other half of a duet, as a member of a trio, and as an ensemble member, a total of 18. In 2021, Billboard ranked her the 30th greatest Hot 100 artist of all time. Her hits as a Supreme and a solo artist combined put Ross among the top-five artists on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart from 1955 to 2018. She has scored a top 75 U.K. hit single for a record 33 consecutive years (1964–1996). In 1988, Ross was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Supremes, and is one of the rare performers to have two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She was the recipient of a Special Tony Award in 1977, the Kennedy Center Honors in 2007, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012 and 2023 (becoming the first woman to win the award twice, the latter as a member of the Supremes), and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016.

a woman with very long hair is singing into a microphone . Alt: Yvette Marie Stevens (born March 23, 1953), better known by her stage name Chaka Khan, is an American singer. Known as the "Queen of Funk", her career has spanned more than five decades beginning in the early 1970s as the lead vocalist of the funk band Rufus. With the band she recorded the notable hits "Tell Me Something Good," "Sweet Thing," "Do You Love What You Feel," and the platinum-certified "Ain't Nobody." Her debut solo album featured the number-one R&B hit "I'm Every Woman" (which became a pop hit for Whitney Houston). Khan scored another R&B charts hit with "What Cha' Gonna Do for Me" before becoming the first R&B artist to have a crossover hit featuring a rapper, with her 1984 cover of Prince's "I Feel for You." More of Khan's hits include "Through the Fire" and a 1986 collaboration with Steve Winwood that produced a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100, "Higher Love." Khan has won ten Grammy Awards. With Rufus, she achieved three gold singles, one platinum single, four gold albums, and two platinum albums. In the course of her solo career, Khan achieved three gold singles, three gold albums, and one platinum album with I Feel for You. She has also worked with Whitney Houston, Ry Cooder, Robert Palmer, Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, Guru, Chicago, Joni Mitchell, Gladys Knight, De La Soul, Mary J. Blige, Ariana Grande, and Sia. In December 2016, Billboard magazine ranked her as the 65th most successful dance club artist of all time. She was ranked at No. 17 in VH1's original list of the 100 Greatest Women of Rock & Roll. Khan has been nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times as a solo artist and four times as a member of Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, the first time in 2012 as a member of Rufus. In 2023, Khan was picked as an inductee in the Musical Excellence category.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe (born Rosetta Nubin, March 20, 1915 – October 9, 1973) was an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and recording artist. She attained popularity in the 1930s and 1940s with her gospel recordings, characterized by a unique mixture of spiritual lyrics and rhythmic accompaniment that was a precursor of rock and roll. She was the first great recording star of gospel music and among the first gospel musicians to appeal to rhythm-and-blues and rock-and-roll audiences, later being referred to as "the original soul sister" and "the Godmother of rock and roll". She influenced early rock-and-roll musicians, including Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis. Tharpe was a pioneer in her guitar technique; she was among the first popular recording artists to use heavy distortion on her electric guitar, presaging the rise of electric blues. Her guitar playing technique had a profound influence on the development of British blues in the 1960s; in particular a European tour with Muddy Waters in 1964 with a stop in Manchester on 7 May is cited by prominent British guitarists such as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Keith Richards. Tharpe's 1944 release "Down by the Riverside" was selected for the National Recording Registry of the U.S. Library of Congress in 2004, which noted that it "captures her spirited guitar playing and unique vocal style, demonstrating clearly her influence on early rhythm-and-blues performers" and cited her influence on "many gospel, jazz, and rock artists".

For Black artists and creatives, self-care is not indulgence.
It is preservation.

Protecting your energy protects your creativity, your imagination, and your voice.

Rest. Reflect. Create.
