(REPOSTING : This got deleted the other day by Instagram, so aunties and uncles if you reported it please kindly unfollow. Had to censor my art) From my archive @theonedeangelo , 2020, NYC with @thugpop 🙏🏽 🌙🌙🌙 “Virtuoso, Swordsman, Revolutionary - 'My intentions with this commission is to celebrate black male erotica via a black lens. This being my first commission via publication, I want to create a imagery that I wish I had when discovering my sexuality. In my youth, I was obsessed with magazines; Vibe, I-D, British Vogue, and LOVE. But I also only saw my refection in black gay porn. Using my youth as a catalyst for inspiration for this artistic statement is my place of resource. One that holds power, pride, and self love. ” @thugpop @officemagazinenyc Words by @kylehagler Creative Direction: @thugpop Photography: @ruthossaistudio, photo Assistant : Ryan ❤️ Styling; @iancogneato Makeup: @zay.ali & @thesinncity using @patmcgrathreal exclusively Hair @iam_thechong Creative assisting: @jourdansavage , Set: @tfer21 , Fashion Assistants: Ian McRae, Nicholas Centofanti, Dontaya Bobb, Sidonia Humphrey Thanks to all the assistants and producer(s) too!
