Los Angeles visual artist Steven Lopez features singer/actress Erykah Badu in his latest addition to the “After Midnight” series, a collection of portraits celebrating notable musicians/singers, including Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Jill Scott, Sade and India.Arie, among others.
Lopez recently went to Badu’s home in Dallas, Texas to complete the signing of 100 limited edition prints which will be available for sale at midnight on April 15th, exclusively on aftermidnightsoul.com.
Part of the proceeds will be donated to Badu’s non-profit, Beautiful Love Incorporated Non-Profit Development (B.L.I.N.D.), a charity organization she established to provide community-based programs for inner-city youth.
AFTER MIDNIGHT SERIES
He should also do one of Dorothy Dandridge and I agree with someone above; Nina Simmone, Billie Holiday and Diana Ross all deserve one.
I like the Jill Scott one…that looks FUNKY!

BEAUTIFUL
WOW…S. Lopez your work is breathtakingly gorgeous! As soon as I can, I plan on purchasing prints of each of these women for my home. Erykah was the first to catch my eye, but Tina is my favorite because of the emotion. Reminds me of my childhood (mid 80′s) listening to her records with my farther in his study…ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
On a side note, I went to his website and the print of Sade doesn’t match the one above. So did he make two for her or is the one shown above someone else…my guess Alicia Keys
