Concern for Ziyu: Interpreting the Hand Signal

This is my friend John Ahearn, a legendary sculptor who has spent his life honoring Bronx residents through his work. He mentored me from 2014 to 2017, during some of my most formative years as an artist, and today I wanted to sit down with him so you could get to know the man who helped shape me. I hope his sculptures move you the way they’ve always moved me. He’s dedicated decades to the art world, and his impact deserves to be seen and supported. #JohnAhearn #SouthBronx

Did you know one of Pakistan’s greatest painters is exhibited across the world? Sadequain’s bold calligraphy, massive murals, and rebellious spirit earned him global recognition—yet he died with almost nothing because he refused to commercialize his art. #pakistan #history #karachi #art

for anyone wondering i choose the colours for my drawings by remembering where they are on the colour wheel or using the eyedropper tool when i need to. blending layers help me with shading a lot too. also i specifically have achromatopsia which means i see in black grey and white #art #artist #digitalart #colourblind #digitalartist
