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.

GLOGGING: TWIN STYLE!
Greetings Dieselfunkateers! The Dieselfunk GLOG Crew has been published in the The NEW YORK TIMES. Look and subscribe to the Race/Related Newsletter Section and you will find the writeup. It goes without saying how HUGE this is for my bro, Jim and me (as well as our Comixcast mates). From a concept formulated on a Greyhound Bus to CNET and now to the Times. The last two weeks have been absolutely INSANE. On a personal note, I will state for the record this is a MASSIVE ACCOMPLISHMENT for me individually as a cartoonist. If you ever wants to see an old blackman cry,checkthisquote:
Final mention and thanks to the ‘Programmeditor’, Angelica Rogers, of The New York Times for being motivational and patient with a brother.
GLOG OUT!
