The pictures are nice.

I LOVE AND WANT IT!!!
and then again it takes a women to step up to the plate. with this being the last day for womens history month. i would just like to give all my love, to the women of this world that have in time STEPPED UP when nobody else would. example the female rnb singer ms. stepahine mills who told that promoter, i won’t allow you to treat me undignified w/ the searching of her person which she believed and me too it showed no respect. try this w/ aretha and see what you get promoter. but as she was telling her story on tjms seems tom j wander out loud w/ caution the ramafications that ms.mill could recieve for taking a stand. NOW YOU SEE why i say its takes a women. she spoke up and said i can’t allow this, even though she risks “blacklash” from them snakes she didn’t bow. sometimes its principal mr.tom. what would you do mr. tom let them search and degrade you? my prayers are w/ ms.mills that there won’t be retaliation or blacklist for having some dignity. baby you are going to be alright. and big ups to the whispers who could of said nothing and went on but said “we won’t go on” till they make it right. this should be a lesson to all [us] fire-ant negros the time of reckoning is here. for instance the LATEENO’S have leaped over us coloreds by leaps and bounds cause they are a unit. and what do we negress do. NOTHING but talk game and slow roll it. if we don’t look at the model that tulsa ok. put in to play to suceed when no one gave a DAMN about them, or take a page from these MEXECANS WHO ARE MOVING ON UP . WE BLACK FOLKS are doomed to fail. and this includes all ya im doing alright negros. signed………… from a brother. this song by maze ft frankie beverly [ I WANNA THANK YOU] goes out to the stepahine mills of this world you wome are truly our…… WILDFLOWERS….. by the skylarks. thank-you.
I love these. These are so beautiful and they capture the personalities of these great ladies.
Sade and Tina are my faves
The artwork is beautiful and props to Erykah for her organization, that’s great.
i want the whole series!!!!
krazy skillz!
ima have to get one for mothers day.
@33
When you start using spell check, and dare I say proper capitalization maybe someone will be able to read that mess. Until then no one will hear you on that soapbox, let alone take you seriously.
Great art work
There pretty
He should do Phyliss Hyman, Nina Simone, Billy Holiday, Donna Summer would be a hot one & Diana Ross. Any of those ladies would be hot as well!
HEY ANGEL- FROM TOP LEFT TO BOTTOM RIGHT- CAN WE GET SOME CAPTIONS OF WHICH ARTIST IS WHICH? THANKS
Very Nice I wouldn’t mind having all of them
groovy.
Those are nice, and I can pretty much identify everyone except the last one, she looks like Maxwell in a wig.
They’re beautiful ……
I LOVE these, I saw them a while ago.
Jill and Chaka are my favorites, he captured their essence perfectly!
I wouldn’t buy a picture with Erykah Badu’s autograph. India Arie or any of the other beautiful women painted on canvas. But its for charity but they could have gotten someone else who could have possibly brought in more money. Alicia Keys???
These are nice, but don’t they remind you of the artist that would paint on stage while Raheem Devaughn would sing?
I want 3 of those paintings HOT!!!!
I MISS SADE..PL COME OUT WITH ANOTHER ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JILL SCOTT TOO!
I need all of those in T-shirts (PURE DOPENESS)
These are BEAUTIFUL!! Breathtaking, might I add. The “cart” button on the website doesnt work though. :/
#50, that’s the first thing I thought of when I looked at the paintings! That dude’s dope, too.
that is gorgeous. i’d love to have pieces like that in my home (whenever i’m blessed enough to get one!) lol

WTH?? type of random rhetoric is that?
Moving ON………..
these pics are awesome, am I the only one who thinks the Sade pic, looks kinda like aaliyah?
Oh and I too wanted to comment on the WACKNESS that is the lil bow wow, advertisement, New Jack City my arse! more like Swagga Jack City!
who will he sound like this album, he already did his best Jay, TI, ll Cool J, and Weezy impressions, his most recent track sounds like a leftover Nelly Song! Im sorry to digress but I am soooo not a fan!
WOW!
Very good paitings I really like Sade’s ,Aretha’s and Jills. This is for the poster a few posts back, I heard that Sade is coming out with a new album this year or next.
