July 31, way back 1960 Mr. Hoover: Sho, shonuf the artist….was born Chicago, Illinois-west side Madison an’ Cicero where it all began whr the moldin began unawares. Watchin’ alla action, the styles of clothes, the pretty color cars, the array of hues, people, the beautiful brothas an’ sistas livin’ life. Frankie Beverly, Aretha, parliament, hot pants, stacks, apple jacks…an’ bottoms. the liveliness The wholesomeness. momma and daddy. growing up in church, foot stompin’, wigs aflyin’ unstan me, anna Home! my dads business ‘n my moms church rat rounna corna Being who they were made me who I am Because of the extreme Chicago cold l pawned my dads guitar at the trading house fa sixty-five greyhounded a ticket to Miami. fa fity-five which yielded a three day bus ride thu Georgia, tenn. missippii allat! ……poe as hell, but lived like a king, by the grace of GOD, for four years. continuously moving throughout the southern sector of the U.S. living harshly, to say the least; penile institutions held my interest thu-out the next twenty years. there is where my art manifested itself to the strong stylings you see today Life and its inner trappings has produced a realatively hard heart; so to portray and reflect the seriousness of livin’life in this world itself. The anatomical figure, I paint, I stretch it to represent strength. Not!, just in the physical, which is actually third.Whats first is the mental fortitude That’s what makes men men n women women Those of them only those that’s experienced, in life; can hold an understanding to this art form The warm yet callaused expression, the strong, sure footed, collapsed pose are specific qualities that define this urban underground formation Monetarily fluctuating, l resorted again to, manual labor. Crying out shackled on the chain gang of barely exixting…is when poetry became my voice cause l couldn’t hold it, consequently l began writing. the inspiration an power seena come from my turmultuous upbringing. The love and renewed; ultimately the redefined strength you see lain began to become smoothed out,assurdness. The inner dominance which reflects from within; well only those who are about this, can feel this, simply because it subjugates to a deeper, inner most part of our soul. it’s the seriousness of becoming who you’re predestined to be, capitalizing in an with the life nuturing qualities of a woman. coupled with the low rumbling humbleness of a man our history, our culture, the stature of us as people wielding power on this planet,; here and now. the queenship, the symmetrical fluidity, the seductive raw earth. the rugged junglelistic power. equally more beneficial…….she sides with a king “the trinity is complete” men can then truly be geometrically induced men as women are thrust into unconditionally being women telepathic harmony, love, peace, togetherness…cohesiveness, longevity, stability, security, safety, the comfort of a Home. a relaxed state of non confusion, no haterism, just spiritual playerism goin down! tailor made made to order hand crafted garments. Educated skillfull an’ talented, gifted an courageous.directed tried an tru, hence; shonuf my art exudes all the confidence of man resonating thru each domination, as if to radiate or illuminate an attraction enevitable. Consisting of a comprised group of distinguished, elegant, profound, intellectually intelligent, mentally endowed. a plethora of major contributors, including Jacob, queens; sheba, isis Omani, nefertitii etc., kings: chaka, etc. a variety of prominent black men, leaders an otherwise. Fredrick Douglas, Malcolm X, knowledge, Wisdom, understandin, perserverance an Coltrane. From somethin’ to nuthin-from nuthin to somethin’ Never was as lost as I once believed was aware but not to the magnitude necessary to immediately be able to grab holt of life in the understanding an realization of me, my part, and my specific goal which is what manifested the fortitude needed to persevere-sure enough!
