This portrait of James Baldwin was created exclusively for Son of Baldwin, the literary, sociopolitical, psychosexual, popcultural blog. Although I knew Baldwin before, I didn’t really know him, not until this tweeter brought him to the forefront of my conciousness. I’ve learned a lot by following Son of Baldwin, and urge everyone on Twitter and Facebook to do the same. Twitter: @SonofBaldwin or Facebook: www.facebook.com/SonofBaldwin.
This is a No. 2/colored pencil drawing with gold leaf. The pattern in the background was inspired by the Fulani wedding blanket on the cover of Dr. Ron Eglash’s ‘African Fractals.’
