“Unapologetic” 24x24 Acrylic on Canvas commission.

This project was commissioned by a friend who asked that I paint an fat, Black woman with an Afro. I wanted to capture the sass and personality of the friend as much as possible. I don’t paint this style often and used design inspiration from a very talented plus size artist Reuben Esq. I encourage you to check out her work on FB and IG.

While the original is in a private collection, you can order an archival, giclee or canvas print. You can also order this design on an array of bags, purses, phone cases etc on my Fine Art America page.

A note about prints:

Archival Matte Paper Print (AMP): A fine art paper, also known as Moab Lasal Photo Matte. Its an economical favorite and standard for all my prints. It features a smooth surface, heavy weight (230 g, 9.5-mil), neutral white, matte paper engineered for accurate color reproduction that provides high contrast and high-resolution output. This paper is acid-free making it archival quality.

Giclee - This is a thick (21-mil) heavy weight (310g) paper with the luxurious style of traditional artists' papers. It has a natural-white, matte finish with a textured watercolor feel.

Canvas -  This is a gallery wrapped artist grade canvas print. This will come with a black backing and hardware attached and ready to hang. Its 1.25” in depth

If you want to frame one of my paintings, I would recommend the giclee or AMP. If you are a serious art collector, you can’t go wrong with the giclee. It’s classic.

If however, you want to hang something that looks like the actual painting, I highly recommend the canvas print. It’s a beautiful professional quality and the prices are often better than the paper prints.
