The marketing for INFINITUM; An Afrofuturist Tale’, is really starting to ramp up. Thusly, as the release of INFINITUM gets closer to publication by HarperCollins Amistad on January 19th, 2021, we were grateful that CXC allowed my career over the decades to be discussed. If you ever wanted to see how black cartooning intersects with Black Rock Music, Yoruba religious modalities, and Science Fiction, THIS IS IT!
INFINITUM and Matty in ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST
ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST: Afrofuturism Has Always Looked Forward
Greetings Dieselfunkateers! The Road to INFINITUM continues as we close in on our release date of January 19, 2021. INFINITUM: An Afrofuturist Tale, published by HarperCollins Amistad, is my long sought graphic novel labor of love. The proofs have been sent out, cover blurbs acquired, cover art finalized, and alas, the book files have been sent to the printer. 
As the media ramps up we have been pleasantly surprised in Dieselfunk Studios by a very sweet article in Architectural Digest by wonderful author, Taylor Crumpton. Check it out HERE. Also, gotta admit, it’s cool being mentioned in the same light as Sun Ra, Octavia Butler, and Janelle Monáe. COOL INDEED
BACK TO IT!

BUCKET LIST LEVEL ACHIEVED!

We talked about Afrofuturism and my experience. Also, special tip: on the site you’ll see a preview of INFINITUM. As an artist I have longed to be recognized for my work on a deeper level. For me, this extends beyond the borders of the comic industry into the deeper community at large. To achieve this goal I have my ‘goto’ outlets, one of which was always to be interviewed by National Public Radio. This wonderful experience was conducted by the Great Rose Scott.
Scott is known for hard-hitting journalism on both the local and international scene. She brought it and I barely hung on from her probing queries. Bah…I LOVED EVERY MINUTE as can be seen below:
This was a fulfillment of the highest magnitude. I’d like to thank NPR, Rose, and crew, and WABE for all of their wonderful support and attention.
