@sorisseys : In a world increasingly saturated with Al, big tech, and cyber this that and the other, it was truly refreshing to witness a master of his craft working with nothing but raw, authentic ingredients: a blank canvas, sumi, indigo, and akane ink, American classical music (aka jazz), and a whole lotta soul. A heartfelt thank you to @chazguest for inviting us into your creative universe, and to the US Consulate @usconsfukuoka in Fukuoka and Kyushu Sangyo University for organizing such an unforgettable event! Thank you to @iizuka_city_official #akane ink farm for the ink dye and root to paint. @usconsfukuoka @radunky @roxtarkovich @robert.platt.756 Chie Inuzuka thank you. And to all of the eager, beautiful, talented students . Don’t be shy .. Go get em !!! You saw me sweat and pour my soul into this canvas in front of you. Your computers will never do this. Search your soul and the spirit of things, use your nature. What a great time … I’m grateful. 🇯🇵🙏🏾🙏🏾. @rxslaggallery @slagrxgallery @nhkworldjapan #nhk #美術画報 @kennygarrettofficial you always ignite my creative force with your sax! Each time !

@khmerrabbit @yukosumidajacksonguest #sumo Amazing how all of this amazingness came together .. synchronicity in tall order ! Fukuoka , #kyushu

Once upon a time in SoHo New York, Kenny Garrett @kennygarrettofficial invited me to paint on stage in Japan Tokyo Blue Note in 1997. I had never been to Japan, however very keen on the concept of Bushido , the culture and its artisans. I had seen Kenny in many videos playing along side the great Miles Davis, of course I was thrilled to go create anything with this guy!!. So, I’d find myself in Omanto Sando, Tokyo Blue note on stage with these amazing, out of this world musicians… Nat Reeves BASS @nat.reeves.94 Jeff “Tain” Watts DRUMS @jefftainwatts and the late great Kenny Kirkland on piano #kennykirkland . I was so nervous and my mind was a blank, as I began swinging ink all over this canvas on stage in this very foreign land. Kenny and his band pushed me to a new found way to approach my painting…. I will forever more start each painting using Japanese’s sumi ink or this newfound @buaisou_i indigo ink (Blue)and more recently this aka-ne ink (red) harvested and produced in Fukuoka ! Now more than 25 years later I’m invited to share with the people of Kyushu,Fukuoka and all of Japan, this way of creating paintings that I wish you to not only see, but hear as well!! Artist must find their own voices … this happenstance reminds me of when Jackson’s Pollock spilled his paint and then began his drip paintings. It’s time to create. The time is now. @yukosumidajacksonguest #kyushusangyouniversity #americanembassyjapan @slagrxgallery . Thank you Kenny Garrett!! For helping me to find this way. @voguejapan #artistinjapan

You have left us a mountain of greatness… and you will never ever be forgotten Q. Thank you so much for all that you’ve done down here… all your amazingly funny jokes and advice you’ve shared . Be with God now. …. Be with the stars, clouds and rainbows. Painting by #elainedekooning . Chaz: Hey Q , I just bought a painting of you that Elaine Dekooning did! Quincy: “oh yeah. I remember when those Dutch folks came to my house”! Chaz: Q, those Dutch folks were Willam and Elaine De Kooning !!!! lol Q: oh oh. Yeah. Okay . 🙏🏾🙏🏾💔❤️

A long time coming to sit with @iamalexavant and @china_chow . I promised Alex a painting edition piece of his Dad and my very special friend #clarenceavant . So @lindaloo1122 arranged the whole thing but couldn’t join us sadly. Mr. Chows has always been a special place for me even in the early NEW YORK days. I actually went there with @the_antonio_archives Antonio Lopez , the great fashion illustrator back in 1986! It was otherworldly expensive, i could never think of going there alone !! lol . I then learned that that was the great artist hang out place… I had no idea! So today , here in los Angeles, I love sitting by Antonio’s beautiful drawings when I go there. China worked it all out. We had a ball !! Ate everything!!! Mr.Chow is not only an amazing ing restauranteur, but an exciting exceptional Painter!! Alex, I hope that this piece finds its perfect spot with you bruv. 🙏🏾🙏🏾. I’ll never forget the many many times I was lucky enough to spend time with your an ing beloved parents. This day of painting him was full of stories and laughing our asses off. Enjoy it .
