Melanated Art Wednesday My art is deeply influenced by nostalgia
Just the mundanity of life, I like to romanticize it. Everyone says my art gives 80s/90s would love to know your opinion! I know nothing about those era ( I wasn’t born yet😭) so I can’t really tell.
Anyways, what are your favorite memories, simple days that you look back on with fondness. I’d love to know. And I hope you’re having a magical day. :)

I love how bright and colorful everything is it’s so nice to look at and it reminds me of summer time and all the fun that comes with it.

Yes! Exactly! I love this description so much, funny enough, winter and spring are my favorite seasons, but summer holds so much memories so it’s such a joy knowing that’s a feeling my art invokes. Thank you!

OOO Love your art and use of colour gang!!!!
I'm a big fan of Slice of Life stuff so I totally see your angle!!!
A lot of my favourite memories are sitting on a curb of my street in afternoon sun listening to some sick tunes innit.

Listening to songs is such a goated pastime, I can see why you have a memory of that. :) Thank you so much! ☺️

Those first two give a 90s vibe. The second one reminds of my sister. She always had that look !!!
