I had been trying to do this for so long, the same feeling of joining a new school when you are a kid was similar to the one I had been experiencing, today after having to pick up some piette sequins to fix my friend’s dress, I found myself closer to it, and so I braved up and joined Blackburn studio, it is definitely a great day!


Blackburn was born December 19, 1920 in Summit, New Jersey. As a teenager, he was mentored by several Harlem Renaissance artists, including Charles “Spanky” Alston and Augusta Savage. Blackburn studied lithography, etching, woodblock, and silk-screening at the WPA Harlem Community Art Center.
In 1948, he established the Printmaking Workshop which became influential in the international printmaking community, producing such works as “Impressions Our World” (1974), a portfolio of prints by African American artists. Blackburn taught at Cooper Union, Pratt Institute, Columbia University, and Rutgers University.

hace unos momentos terminé de leer un articulo sobre todo lo que ha hecho el PRI, y cuantas “menos malas” obras ha hecho el PAN, por mas que busco no encuentro el Autor que lo escribe, pero sí se pide que se comparta con toda cuanta persona uno conozca, lo  leí pero no le daré forward ni lo compartiré en facebook. Solo guardo esta foto para reflexionar y seguir con la investigación que decidirá por quien voy a votar.
