SPOTLIGHT: Mshindo Kuumba I.: A Functional, Purposeful, Healing Artist

THE LEGEND OF GOLDENCLAW | ART BY MSHINDO KUUMBA I., STORY IN COLLABORATION WITH URAEUS

“African art is functional, it serves a purpose. It’s not dormant. It’s not a means to collect the largest cheering section. It should be healing, a source of joy. Spreading positive vibrations.”

— Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def)

Whatever the medium, MSHINDO KUUMBA I., delivers. Whatever his role, art director, visual artist, comics creator, cover artist, dancer, martial artist, we can feel the love, life and power in his works.

We grow as he grows... his art heals...our minds...our hearts...

...down to our toes...

Mshindo reminds us that we not only survive, but thrive in our collective future.

ANIKULAPO BY MSHINDO KUUMBA I.

Anikulapo has arisen... he is the eternal one... Both story and art by Mshindo.

Mshindo combines his magic with yours in his portraits. This is what love looks like. 

Gift-giving just became that much simpler.
