This edition of #AfternoonArtCritic gets personal. I lost my job yesterday. This thread pairs that rawness with Basquiat, Sunny War, and Savannah’s most dangerous cocktail. Read if you're ready to feel something.

Afternoon Art Critic
From your resident non-artist, still trying to feel.

Today’s pairings:
🎧 Anarchist Gospel by Sunny War — folk rock with grit, hope, and no easy answers.
🥃 Savannah Artillery Punch — a Southern classic with a slow, soulful burn.

No paintings. No protection. Just the sound, the fire, and what spills out.

Untitled (Skull) – Jean-Michel Basquiat (1981)
A splash of dissonance for a world still pretending harmony.
The skull cracks. Identity unravels.
Society’s chaos, raw and screaming in color.

Pollo Frito – Jean-Michel Basquiat (1982)
Orange, red, asphalt black.
Read his words. Hear the dissonance.
The mind tries to reconcile what it wants with what is.
It doesn't resolve. It collides.

Flesh and Spirit – Jean-Michel Basquiat (1982–83)
The flesh is here. The spirit is gone.
Visibly severed. No unity, no illusion.
Basquiat pulls you under —
Not to float.
To feel the depth.

Sorry, y’all — I lost my job yesterday. Been feeling pretty listless.
I can’t finish this edition of #AfternoonArtCritic.
So I’m just gonna sit with Sunny War,
in the time of Sunny Wars.

Thanks for being here.
