Late, but Better Than Never

Self,

I'm a little late writing about this but I feel compelled to do it anyway.

This picture is the work of an artist whose gallery opening I had the pleasure of attending thanks to a friend from NYC.

Of course the show was back in May he early part of the month. I'm at work one Friday, and I get a text from my buddy Mr. Six-No Trump from NYC saying "I'm in LA." I'm like Bitch let a brotha know, so I can plan for it. Anyway we get to hang out at the hotel he staying at and is hanging out with a friend of his who is the artist for the show he invites me to the next night.

The artist's name is Mickalene Thomas, check out some of her work here. This piece isn't on the website but it was y favorite at the opening I attended. I was told it one of her older pieces. While I was attending the opening I had the chance to meet Vanessa Williams who played Maxine in the "SoulFood" Series on Showtime and she also was one of Wesley Snipes crew in "New Jack City"....Not to be confused with Vanessa L. Williams who is a former Miss America winner and was married to my baby daddy, Rick Fox.

I just had to share so I hope you appreciate it. I'm always glad to "discover" artists that are doing their thang!

Sincerely,

Pharaoh
