NYTIMES: BLACK METROPOLIS & MATTY’S ROCKET

Greetings Dieselfunkateers!   Over the last 7 months an awesome amount of work was done by writer goddess Ruth La Ferla on the subject of Afrofuturism in The NEW YORK TIMES article titled

Afrofuturism: The Next Generation

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/12/fashion/afrofuturism-the-next-generation.html

Covered within the article is my one man show, BLACK METROPOLIS:  30 Years of Afrofuturism, Comics, Music, Animation,  Decapitated Chickens, Heroes, Villains, and, and Negroes.   and my retro-afrofuturism comic, Matty’s Rocket!

As I have been a participant of the form for over 30 years, it is indeed a moving emotion that comes to bear.  BLACK METROPOLIS, and MATTY’S ROCKET represents my particular take on the depiction of black culture within a technological and socially expansive based Past, Present, and FUTURE of WHO and WHAT WE ARE.

Expect MORE NEWS to come over the coming days with a behind the scenes expose on Black Metropolis, Matty’s Rocket, Afrofuturism, Dieselfunk, Dieselfunk Studios, INFINITUM, The Dieselfunk Store, and The Black Speculative Arts Movement.

I want to thank Ruth La Ferla, Boston Fielder, Ed Marshall Photography, Richardine Bartee, Genesis Rivera, Sabaah Folayan, Reynaldo Anderson, Angelica Rogers, Keith Miller, Meredith Theeman, Liza Jesse Peterson, John Jennings, Stacey Robinson and last but most certainly not least, My FAMILY.

Black Enterprise Black Comics Roundtable

Black Enterprise Black Comics Roundtable

BLACK ENTERPRISE Black Comics Roundtable

Greetings Dieselfunkateers! Imagine if a call was made to some of the most innovative creators around to discuss the state of BLACK COMICS.  ThIs was done today at Black Enterprise Magazine offices.  Under the careful guidance of Author, Samara Lynn, (with George Carmona running Shotgun) illustrious artisans such as Naseed Gifted (Khem Comic Fest, Dilettante J Bass (PB Soldier), Regine Sawyer (Lockett Down Productions), Joseph P Illidge (Lion Forge/Solarman), N Steven Harris (Solarman), Micheline Hess (Malice In Ovenland), Dewunmi Roye Okupe (Youneek Studios/ Malika Kickstarter), and myself, Tim Fielder (Matty’s Rocket /The Dieselfunk Show) laid waste to the myth that brothers and sisters don’t read and create comics.

WE DO!

THEN...

Derek Dingle (co-founder of MILESTONE MEDIA and Senior VP/Editor-In-Chief of Black Enterprise Magazine) beamed down to let us know that we are doing important work. (I promise you the light beam was not photoshopped:-)

Well Alright Then:-)

Look at the replay of the Black Enterprise Black Comics Roundtable Periscope. Most importantly, look out for the upcoming October issue of Black Enterprise Magazine IN PRINT and ONLINE.
