Spelmanite-run (yay AUC!) art gallery MoCADA did a show entitled, "The Gentrification of Brooklyn: The Pink Elephant Speaks" (click link for a dope article aaaand Tim's work is in the background) exploring issues around the ever gentrifying BK. Afeisha and I went and even attended outside events MoCADA hosted to support the exhibition. It was at a movie screening that I met Tim Okamura. The Canadian native had a piece featured, but little did I know the awesomry I was about to see! We've gotten cool since then and today I will be sitting for a portrait with some other Brooklyn beauties, including Afeisha and Jackie. Since my last post was about Badu, take a look at this baby...
Unreal right????? To check out some more of Tim's work, skidaddle over here.
I will be sure to let you guys know when the pieces are done...
