Queen Amanirenas is one of the most famous Meroitic queens because of her role in leading the Kushite army against the Romans in a war that lasted three years (25 BC to 22 BC). This war is largely responsible for halting Rome’s southward expansion in Africa. After an initial victory against Roman Egypt, Prefect Gaius Petronius drove the Kushite army from Egypt and established a new Roman frontier at Hiere Sycaminos Rome. Rome had faced a Kingdom so confident in their capacity to fight that they immediately had to agree to their terms. The legend goes that in one instance, the Kushitic envoy to Rome took a message from the Kandake. In his hands were a bundle of golden arrows and he aired the news: “This gift is from the Queen. If you want peace, this is a token of her warmth and friendship. If you want war, keep the arrows because you are going to need them.” #QueenAmanirenas #Amanirenas #womenshistorymonth #blackhistory #procreate #sketchbook #illustration #africanhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CpQn5avv58W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The most tragically “evergreen” comic I’ve ever created. Every other “First World” country that has been confronted with such tragedy has actually dealt with it through gun control. Only in America do we bring a flamethrower to an already burning building. #Repost @frednoland with @use.repost ・・・ Three years old yet tragically evergreen. Just for “fun”, type the hashtag “gun control” and see what pops up. The top posts are rabidly pro-gun. Any ammosexuals who come at me are getting blocked.

It’s all good fun until someone puts an eye out 🤷🏾‍♂️ I haven’t drawn this many action sequences since ever. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - #bicycleanatomy is a bear to draw. #majortaylor #majortaylorgraphicnovel #drawandquarterly #drawnandquarterlycomics #blackartist #blackcyclist #wip #velodrome #bicyclerace https://www.instagram.com/p/CnP-eK3Sd4s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I created this illustration for an overseas client. I shall henceforth be known as Fred Noland International. We settled on the iteration with the spectators but deep down I wish we could have fit in those mouse line judges (mice line judges? Mouses line judges?). Swipe right for that version and a #processvideo I can’t believe I get to do this for a living 😊 #procreate #illustration #cat #tennis #lolcats #happynewyear #newyearnewyou #blackartist #ballofyarn #crowdsceneillustrations #crowdscene https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm9kYv5vwGm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
