Avec Couleur 💗🍀🌞🅿️
(With Color) part 2.

This is a sequel to the Avec Mouvement concept from last year. One of my favorites ever!

Been meaning to do something like this with Poya & Priscille (🅿️^ 2). I had a blast making these, inspired by one of my favorite animes, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure & Dragon Ball Z Androids

Wide angles + crazy poses + random color blocking = magic

Big big thank you to Shan & Miss Kaye for seeing the vision !

Super grateful for everyone that was involved in this 🙌🏾

Black Alchemist

Disconnected to protect my mind,
refusing to watch the news..
An endless echo of bad news-
bruises the soul like carpet burn
on metal blades of grass

Feeling raw,
holding fast to what is peaceful.
Hoping color emerges from black & white,
& if not I'll appreciate the contrast.
Letting the past pass like
water beads off a duck's ass

Androïde 22 avec Mouvement, part 1

(Android 22 with Movement) inspired by:

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's bizarre poses, angles, & fashion. Specifically Kishibe Rohan's character (he's a Photographer & Manga Artist in the show).

Dragon Ball Z's Androids 16, 17, & 18. I've always liked these Androids more than the others, there's something about them. There's also no Android 22 in the show so we made up our own for Halloween.

2022 is going to be AMAZING for us,
I can smell it.

Poya & I started working with each other about a year ago now. We've become great collaborators / friends & we've come a long way creatively.
I feel very blessed!

Much love to Miss Washington for trusting us ♥
