Produktbeschreibung

The following pages lend insight and inspiration into this philosophy, as these illustrations break down exactly what BRUH means: Black Renditions of Universal Heroes. You'll probably notice that all of them are women. I could've said heroine and you may ask why I don't use this word, but then I'd have some questions for you.

Autorenporträt

Markus Prime challenges the norm of illustrations often seen, by filling the disparity of black characters. His characters are constructed in a hyper reality setting and utilizes present day narratives from black culture. Born in Warren, Ohio and the son of military parents, Prime moved regularly to different areas within the United States and overseas. During each stay he would connect with those through his love for art and music. Social media provided Markus a localized medium to visually communicate and remain connected with those he met on and offline. His expert use with markers and infectious personality has made his social handles a meeting place for art and culture lovers. "[Markus Prime] An artist who fills in the unfortunate gap re: intersectional representation, we knew as soon as we saw these images that the LA-based artist would be one to watch -- not only as an artist, but as an activist fighting for a more truthful media rendition of the world at large." - Paper Magazine "Epic" - Buzzfeed "Markus Prime isn't the type of person to curb his instincts to make others comfortable." - Brightest Young Things
