SCRAWL 15 POSTER REVEAL
|
We are proud to reveal the Limited Edition Scrawl 15 poster by featured artist Marcus Billingley.
With this piece, Marcus sought to represent the duality of being a young black person today. "I feel as though the weight of the world has fallen upon a lot of young black people lately as history transpires in America. But my piece is meant to be optimistic and hopeful for the future. The young black child raises their head high, smiles and takes the shot. Slight basketball reference." |
