From one of my favorite artists, Nikkolas Smith. I have one of this pieces framed on my wall (https://mas.to/@markwyner/112170488602142538). His pieces are thought-provoking and his style is gorgeous.

One of my favorite artists, Nikkolas Smith, has a new book on the horizon. “The History of We” is about the origin and advancement of humans. It’s a picture book of canvas paintings.

This piece by Nikkolas Smith is quite captivating. I’ve been face-to-face with riot cops and their tear gas, but never alone and never this boldly. The illustration amplifies the power of Black women in ways they shouldn’t have to be.
