Believe it or not yall I used to have serious social media anxiety.
As a black male educator it was easier to just conform and keep a low profile by either leaving social media alone, or only posting sporadically the achievements of my students or my self.
While it was a part if me, it was never the real me. Certainly not the parts of me that are authentically artistic.
To get over this stigma that I had of posting I just started to record myself all the time as I attempted to create, engineer, record myself, etc.
Welp, while I have been able to overcome that obstacle by just posting consistently.
Now I want my message to be clearer. I want to reach more people with my art. I want to create art that will move people and that will be undeniable.
Simultaneously working on my music business and upping my social media game is mentally taxing for the mind.
Then there js the fact that I have to get your attention with a hook and I only got 3-seconds to do it like wtf 😳
Sometimes, ya just wann vibe ya know. I have to if I want to get into my creative flow state.

“We’re using the wrong word when we talk about appropriation. Think about it as obliteration. When you take and then erase, you remove that entity’s capacity to be attached to this thing that they created, to make money from this thing that they created.” Zandria Robinson (Little Richard: I Am Everything)
Huh, I didn't forgor to post here, what do mean?!? 👀💦
Anywey, I had a dream that a Discord friend drew a lot of Rhino!Darnell and thought cool... and then I woke up and cried a little because it wasn't real... ;;w;;
How to add a frame to a digital print! (Via Elle Knight)

If you're an artist who sells prints and you wanna showcase your art in frames like this, but you don't wanna spend money on a frame, then I got you!
Go to Unsplash.com - It's a free stock image site with high quality photos and go ahead and search up the frame that you want and download it. For this part I usually use Photoshop, but I'm assuming all you have is Procreate. So go ahead and open up Procreate with that frame.
Once you have it open, go ahead and scale it to the size you want and delete the background like this. Now you're going to take your image and add it right underneath the layer of the frame, and voila!
