Jacoby Hinton on Instagram    ///    Website "Art is for everyone. And no one needs to tell you an artwork is good, if you like it, then it is good. It should be as simple as that." -Jacoby Hinton Mistah Wilson : Yo, Jacoby Hinton! It is a complete honor to have you here with us for this exclusive interview with ThaWilsonBlock Magazine. How you been? Jacoby Hinton : Hey thanks for having me! I’ve been doing well, this month has been all about reflection and looking back at the past year and seeing how far I’ve come, but also looking ahead to where I want to be. Mistah Wilson : For our audience reading this, could you paint a quick background of yourself? Jacoby Hinton : I’d be happy to, I grew up kinda all over the state of South Carolina. My family moved a lot when I was younger. After college, I moved to the Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota where I taught High School Science for 2 years, then I moved to San Jose and taught Middle School art for a...

Visit Jacoby Hinton's Website Award winning Artist/Educator, Jacoby Hinton, graduated from College of Charleston with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Studio Art. Growing up Jacoby discovered his romantic fascination with the diverse strengths and capabilities of the human body at an early age. Trained as a swimmer, a martial artist, and a soldier, Hinton has first-hand experience with the grueling training one endures while striving to exceed their limits, as well as the glory of soaring past that which had once been thought impossible. Hinton’s crucible of experience has forged an immense amount of discipline that is as present in the dozens of draft sketches that precede a single drop of paint, as they are in each surgical swipe of his palette knife. Each piece is a homage to those who devote themselves to a craft. His use of bold colors and textured palette knife strokes create a sense of expressiveness and movement in each piece.

Leroy Morvant on Etsy My goal is to continually experiment, explore color possibilities, and to play with composition and line. When I first began painting (10 yrs. old) I explored styles and techniques in order to achieve a specific result in mind. I became burned out at 21y.o. and stopped painting for 4 years.  When I returned to the canvas I was determined to challenge my preconceived ideas and teachings. Therefore I began to draw with my eyes closed while meditating (to clear my mind) and this particular style and figures were born from this experiment.  I no longer draw with my eyes closed. My approach is primarily about experimenting with color and composition and the subject matter is second.

View Charlin Janene's Website & Gallery I'm a Combat Veteran's Wife, lifelong athlete & self-taught versatile multi-medium artist. Born October 11th, in Akron, OH, and raised in Riviera Beach & West Palm Beach, FL. I taught myself how to draw at age three - I wrote my name after seeing it on the refrigerator. I attended a performing arts school. I've sold a few dozen pieces. My first sale was in 6th grade - to a local business in Akron; then I sold another piece to the Akron Children's Hospital before I left for our first PCS in Colorado. I didn't sell my first charcoal portrait until adulthood, but when I did, I sold it to Grammy-Nominated, 19-year-old Harvard graduate, producer and artist, Ryan Leslie. That charcoal portrait was actually the very first portrait I completed using charcoal. Anything that can be created, in the arts, is pretty much my thing. I worked for The University of Akron's ZipsVision sports production staff and while workin...

Visit Phy's Website I spent my whole life looking into the world from the outside fascinated by the many people that crossed my path. I thought to myself " there is a story to be told" , when I take yo the first brush and look inside the " wells of their eyes" . Little did I know that the story I really seek was the one inside of me. So much to tell , the personalities that come alive on my canvas are parts of myself. Come join me and let me start with "'once upon a time , there was the sweet little girl who spent her summers vacation breaks at the beach sketching the many that passed by her life, never noticing her until they saw her bring them to life on canvas. 

"I work very hard to create what I feel is dope art. I want my art to show others that your dreams are feasible." -Ieesha Naeema Mistah Wilson : Hey, Ieesha Naeema! We are honored to have you here with us for this exclusive interview with ThaWilsonBlock Magazine. How ya' been? Ieesha Naeema : In all honesty, I’ve just been trying to keep my sanity these days lol…It’s been a little over a month now since I quit my job at J.P. Morgan.

Visit Ieesha Naeema's Website I am a Chicago native currently residing in Dallas, TX. I am a self-taught visual artist/painter working primarily in acrylic paint. All of the images in my work are drawn by hand. Currently, I paint musicians who have shaped both my childhood and adulthood. I strategically select color schemes that I feel represent each artist's sound/music, as well as the emotions I feel when listening to his/her music. Outside of my pop art celebrity work, I often paint my interpretations of black beauty, specifically focusing on the black woman. I use vibrant colors to showcase my ideas. Painting is therapeutic and allows me to express myself and bring to life the ideas I often carry in my mind. My ultimate goal is to become a full-time artist and continue sharing my gift with those around me.
