💪🏾💥Sinister screenshots + sweet origin story from our 1st animated short, “Pulverize” by and I, based on my painting.

I can’t say enough about how genius and phenomenal Clove is as my friend & artist. We met at a coffee shop 6 weeks before my solo show off a DM. We spoke about art as a spiritual practice and how each painting was a scene featuring monsters or “powers” from my Black horror world.

He chose Pulverize to animate and told me how each character moved in his mind’s eye. It was like he knew them intimately, saw them writhing, already alive 🥹

Seeing him transform my paint babies into animated beings felt like art as actualization; he affirmed their existence as real entities. Kinda gettin teary as I write this because as a filmmaker and artist, the worlds we channel already exist. Our work is but a portal to other realms. When you meet someone who can breathe more life into the remnants, it feels like molding humans from clay and watching them walk. Pure magic that our people deserve.

We screened this short at my debut solo show, “Monsters in Mirrors,” — and I know an animated show is in our future. Enjoy every second of our short and know that it was made for your catharsis, with care.

💥Book for any animated needs. Thank you for seeing this through and being such a stellar soul.

We made a short film & are hosting a class together! Come see this Sat 3/14 & enjoy the show. Link in bio.
