Then, once he got there, he had... All Access creds?
And now Pac, Big & Nipsey are the official welcoming committee...

I’ma just put this down and walk away...
AGAIN: I realize these are people’s way of tributing and grieving... we can also find some humor in them.
The one artist I’m going to call out by name (in part bc I do know it; alot of this work, especially the older work, is unknown) is Justin Richberg. Justin literally thinks to himself: What is the absolute most ridiculous depiction of Black ppl I can come up with?
We all know this one, I think. It’s like an old Highlights picture: how many dead ass wrong things can you find?
... and with the inspiration
One last one from Richberg... You gotta actually admire the commitment. It’s like The Boondocks.
Ok, I’ma wrap this up with two images.
First, this painting that is actually, really and truly, no bullshit hanging in Ben Carson’s living room.
Like how much are you feeling yourself to have a portrait done of you and our Lord and savior? (At least Jesus is Black, though)

And lastly, this one, which isn’t bad at all, just Black AF. It’s reminiscent of a whole style in the ‘90s and early ‘00s that your bougie aunties had in their house and was in upscale Black salons.
Like I said in the beginning, jokes aside, this is ultimately a highlight of how many levels of creative expressive Black folks have in us. At some point I’ll expand this, bc I didn’t even get into these joints...
An addendum: I was looking for this one!!
Why Coretta look like she plottin’? Rosa is like “Hey girl, hey!” Ida looks annoyed, Michelle looks like she’s annoying her. Harriet and Oprah are concerned.

It’s still #BlackHistoryMonth 
and we have two new additions to the So-bad-its-almost-good Black art thread that I was gonna try to ignore, but y’all keep tagging me 
.
1. Justin Richburg with a late-month BHM entry. Take a moment to absorb it...

Ok, so why is Gayle-King-Interview-Robert here?

And who is this in the sister locks? Is that supposed to be Bey?
And why is Blade there?
And who is this white man? Is that HARVEY?!
And is that Charlemagne?

2. I’m just leaving this one here and walking away, cuz I can’t.
Sigh...
Aren’t we going through enough right now?

That they’re supposed to be Shaq and Kobe makes it worse.
How you gonna make MLK Shaq?!?!

Not death nor hell nor the grave can stop these works of art from going forth. Or Jesus. Happy Resurrection Sunday.
What is this even supposed to...
*Opens the vault*
Time to add to the collection...
This is like... anime meets Lisa Frank.. and... something.

Stan was out here for 95 years and instead of letting him rest they got him working the welcoming committee.
Chadwick could have gone by the heavenly home later, man.

This is rude and unecessary.
This is VERY DOPE from an animation perspective. But I have issues... bc Black Panther ain't dead, and if he was, he'd be on the ancestral plane (didn't we all see the movie?)

This is a hall of fame entry. My, my, my. Every possible Black memorial art trope. All God's children got wings.
But why does Bernie look like he bout to preach the eulogy?
And do they think we wouldn't recognize Kobe if he WASN'T in uniform?
And why is BP there?!?! Two of them?

Shoutout to Ronnie who was INCREDIBLY offended. Mea culpa, Ronnie.
I’m sorry in advance, but my immediate reaction was that this is kinda fire 
They ain’t have to brown her up though.

Even Chadwick is annoyed at being dragged into this.

Pausing in the RGB “tributes” for some regular submissions...
The young man who did these is going to be haunted by the ancestors.
He has them with Malcolm and Ali, too

Another addition to the last supper genre. Putting Elijah Muhammad in Jesus’ spot is...
This assembly is interesting, too.
Pac, Dick Gregory I think, Huey, Garvey, Malcolm, Nipsey, Harriett...

Just got the notification that 125th Street has new material.
Somebody just tagged me in this and I thought “Oh we have that! They updated it!” And then I realized I’d posted this version in the *original* thread over at @stillnaima but not here.
One day I’m going to find out who did this whole series. It’s a classic classic.
Anyway, that made me realize I neglected to include a few other joints here. So I’ma just go ahead and do that.
I think I left this out just to spare us all, TBH

I accidentally included a cropped version of this Justin Richberg joint earlier in the thread. He really just strives to hit the most outlandish point possible.
The white people are getting in the game!! (We not about to focus on their work though; this is a one-off).
They got Joe getting his Betsy Ross on.

I sweatergod better not none of y'all put Biden in a Wakanda forever salute m.
This actually isn't bad at all. It's the subtle ivy on the right heel for me.
Y'all know over the next several weeks we 'bout to get a veritable treasure trove of new material.
WHY DOES SHE HAVE ON A KANGOL?!
For the new people to our little art society: the absurdity of the art is the point.

This is an excellent question. Maybe they don't know how to play cards?
