Erykah Badu's Window Seat



It's so important to be an individual. To be yourself. Truly. Erykah...Wow. Completely stripped down, bare for all to see, you've stated loud and clear what we must fight for. I give a standing ovation to the boldness and bravery of this art. Shot guerilla style in 2 minutes, no crew, no actors, and at the same place JFK was assassinated in '63... It's speaking to me on so many levels personally. Leave me questioning a lot of things within, as I continue to search and grow and become who I was truly meant to be.

Get out of the "groupthink" mentality, people. Wake up! Spend time with yourself. Love yourself. Talk to God. Embrace your uniqueness.

Be a leader.

How did you feel watching it?

Hartelijk Bedankt, Eline!

Eline, from the Netherlands, was inspired by my "Mixed" photo and made her version of it in the image pictured below. What an amazing imitation of my art work. The likeness to my style in "Mixed" has been executed to a "T"- from the hand placement, skin and eye colouring, the effort here is fabulous! I'm deeply touched by the act of the photographer and piece of art created here.

Hartelijk Bedankt Eline! Thank you very much in "Dutch"

Feel free to check out more of her pictures here.

The best birthday gift.

leyladavistheartist

My sister, Leyla Davis, likes to draw. She took up a basic 101 Art Foundations course and applied what she learned to a series of paintings - one of them being this piece above. I cannot express enough how amazing this made me feel today, on my birthday. And it's not because she painted one of my self portraits, but because she choose to express herself in a way I didn't know she could.

Wow.

Leyla, I am so proud of you and of this. And thank you so much. This means everything to me. More than I can truly express.

I want to see MORE! I encourage you to keep this up.

Love your sister,
Nass
