The Black Art Depot Today

I had a request for this poster from the broadway play and decided to add it to the blog for all who may be seeking it.  For those who don’t know this play comes from a choreopoem.  It consists of a series of 20 poems performed through a cast of nameless women, each known only by a color.  It was written by Ntozake Shange in 1975.  Below you will find the poster to the play and also a TV adaptation of the play and the actual play published as a book.  Enjoy!

Alex Ross is a famous comic book artist who hails from Portland, Oregon.  Educated at the American Academy of Art, he  is known for his attention to detail and for painting his comic book scenes instead of drawing them.  He has recently created a print of Obama as a Super Hero entitled “Time For A Change” and a print of George W. Bush, Jr. as a Super Villian entitled “Bush Sucking Democracy Dry”.  I really thought the prints and the vision of the artist was unique and funny all at the same time.  I have always enjoyed good comic books and comic book movies so naturally this was right up my alley.  I hope you all enjoy viewing these works as much as I did.  Also, please note that neither one of the prints are available at our site but if you interested in purchasing one you can get them from Rupps Comics!

Black Beauty Salon Art - Work Enviornment 1

I have always received a lot of inquiries from various people asking me what I would recommend for different types of businesses and offices.  These valued customers often ask me to recommend art for their beauty salons, barbershops, law offices, doctor offices, dentist offices, etc.  Therefore I am going to make a series of posts over the next 30 days that feature what I consider to be the top 7 art prints and posters for each environment.

My first posting in this series is what I consider to be the bestsellers and top art prints for beauty salons that have a primarily African American clientel.  These prints are what I affectionately call my “Black Beauty Salon Art”.

Please review and if you are interested in any of these prints or if you have any questions please visit our main site online at: www.blackartdepot.com or call our office at: 678-916-6545 to purchase or place an order over the phone.
