#alloyiusmcilwaineart - This one hits really hard. I first painted this piece when the groundbreaking movie the @blackpanther, first came out. When the movi...e first debuted, many people didn’t understand what the big deal was. Here’s my perspective on the matter: When I was young, my mom had a really hard time finding toys and stories for me that featured Black heroes. There were a few...but they were definitely not in abundance, and they were sometimes hard to track down. Fast forward to 2018, and the Black Panther movie comes out...featuring the first superhero of African descent to debut in mainstream American comics (he debuted in Fantastic Four #52 in 1966). The Black Panther has had many comic book series over the years...even some highly acclaimed ones...but the movie is really what brought the character into an international spotlight. After the movie hit, you see books and toys everywhere featuring Black heroes . You see an influx of people in the African American community proudly showcasing their heritage & culture. You even had people from other cultures who were inspired to showcase their traditions because of the movie. But this is what touched me the most: I saw so many young white children wearing Black Panther T-shirts. I passed 1 kid on the street, & the kid gave me the Wakanda Forever crossed arm gesture. So I smiled & returned the gesture. I got a bit emotional, because the kid saw me, and he didn’t see some hyper-aggressive thug caricature. He saw someone who could be a king and a hero...and that gave me such hope for a brighter future. That was the power of that movie...and that was just one of the amazing characters that @chadwickboseman brought to life with his amazing talent. Rest In Peace King ...you did so much and inspired so many...and you left us far too soon. #wakandaforever #art #instaartoftheday #colorful #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artistsofig #instaart #instaartist #artoftheday #artofvisuals #contemporaryart #popart #streetart #painting #artistlife #instaarts #abstract #abstractart #blackpanther #blackpanthermovie #chadwickboseman #mcu #wakanda #blackpantherfanart #tchalla
