” A Shared Vision “
“MIGUEL N CHAZ”
It was evening, and there was a diversity of people in Judgement yard. I was taken back by a child that was watching Miguel and Chaz together drumming and on the guitar, with Dre-Z Melodi peering in back. All those around can see when music is a central point of being, a perfect place. Everyone seemed to be in a perfect place, and so it seemed perfect to do some sketches and take some photos and be able to reflect and meditate on it. I like the sketch with a little ink, it seemed to capture the ease and casualness of being in harmony. Click here for a print: http://blog.raselijah.com/shop/products/miguel-and-chaz/
“RT. HON. MIGUEL COLLINS “
” SonLight Living Room “
One of the joys was to do a mural in Sizzla’s Living Room at his compound in Judgement Yard. Lots of experiences on the stairs and with his nephew who helped do some of the painting too. It was a piece of Africa with a tear where the Nile River is on the face of a lion. The energy of the living room and the patio had a certain radiance when the sun hit. The color and hours spent watching the gradual changes made it worthy to try and recreate. I can feel the morning, and the excitement of the day, amongst the children of Jah.

” Miguel’s guitar “
Using a different palette and technique to try and add a uniqueness to Jamaica air, trees and earth, this piece is a tribute to Miguel’s love of things to come and traditions of old. From the Tabernacle, which is not heavily decorated to the contrast of the torn jeans and perfect tie and shirt, told a story of a work and person in progress. A place where the spirit and Foundation can sing itself into any place Jah sees fit. A place where the man is there for the world to see rather than hidden in the Tabernacle. click to get a print: http://blog.raselijah.com/shop/products/miguels-guitar/
SIZZLA’S “RISE UP!”
Album cover of the Grammy nominated reggae artist Sizzla Kalonji. In this piece Sizzla described exactly what he wanted in detail. The appearance to make it look like it was done quickly was part of the intention. In true art, the flow and vibe is more important than making it photographic. The raw and aggressive lines, and the clear message carries an impact the sublime does not. It is meant to hit the viewer. This included the letters, which are all hand done. He wanted it to feel Rastafari, and also show real street letters that ones could read and are true to form. Something we could see on a wall and smile. I was very pleased listening to the album and that the art and the album also flowed, it was a work of art in perfect balance, clear and upfull. Raspect.
Give thanks for the breathe of Life, Give thanks for the Life Giver who allows us to sing to HIM, O Jah Rastafari. The Power of Music is such a blessing, and to be able to hear new music and gain inspiration is a true joy. Here are some new albums that are now out or coming soon with InI art work. Give thanks for the ones that move in harmony where we can express the same thing in two different art forms. One frequency. Let Jah Be Praised!

As an artist, time is often fleeting. I am excited to share the new works and show how the art is changing and developing. More impressionism and attention to backgrounds with an emphasis on landscapes.
At this particular time, having a broken arm, typing and describing the art is a slow process however the drive to paint has increased. So here is to less words and more visuals. The show will be running for a month, and there will special pieces to be announced that are exciting and unreleased work.
I hope you enjoy, inbox in the contact link if anything catches your eye. Brand new works for a brand new day.

Greetings in the Name of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I, Jah Rastafari. Our King and Creator for whom we owe everything. For His Love is Everlasting and endures forever.
It is with a full heart we are proud to announce to the release of Akae Beka’s new album Righteous Synergy produced by Fifth Son Records. The listener will be moved and reminded of the memory within that we keep alive and takes us back millennia’s. Akae Beka brings a heavy message that brings the meditations to approach the task of redemption. His melodies carry the truth and message that is sensitive and focused. The deliberations into every note, and the accompaniment of the instruments make this work a musical and a lyrical gem.
Akae Beka Righteous Synergy album cover.
The Cover represents a number of topics, and to share a few, is the space in which His Imperial Majesty stands. The fountain are His Words that Bubble up… this bubble up is both in the region of being underwater and in the heavens of space. Within that dynamic is the birth of HIM on the rising of Sirius ( July 23rd ) and the day that countless cultures hold in reverence. What is called the “Dog Star” Sirius star system is mapped out above His Crown. He and the Heavens align with where Ethiopia and Native tribes link with the Leo Constellation and Sirius Rising in many cultures including the natives in Chaco Canyon, NM. The King of Kings is both a reflection of that which is seen and unseen. He holds the World in His Hand as She holds the moon in Her on Earth. Reflecting the sun that He moves by His Fingers. Bringing forth children of the son. Whaling out..Reflecting on the book of Ester, “She became a Queen” on this album, touches on the plight of being a refugee, and how the fate of a people lay in her ability to accept the call from Jah that would jeopardize her safety. Accepting the tides of what will be.
This act of faith, travels, in the joy-ting and on the album. The song, ” Manger ” takes us up to the pyramids as a geographic location, in order to know that the basket, representing the manger is not at its destination. That it is going further north east toward the North Star. The reason a basket was used is because like a turtle it carries memory and still it was the same grass that Christ had to flee too, in a very similar situation, where from birth the government that wanted to kill him. That the reverberations of the God Man on a holy mission, is like the grass laid down in a manger for us and Christ to rest in.
” Covenant Ark ” is represented by making a clear unity of different races by the 4 women with children, representing the four corners. Above the woman on bottom left are the priests carrying the Ark of Covenant. There are also Native Americans standing together on the bottom right on the cliff above the women who are looking to the Ethiopian Emperor. Displaying Heart, rather than a John Crow heart, the lowest form of humanity .
At one point, it was thought we may release the tune, ” Do my best ” as a single. In that moment, I was asked to make a piece of art in 2 days as a single cover. It was decided it would be best to not release the single, and the piece went on the inside of the album. You can listen to “Do my Best” right here, and that will help ones understand this piece more throughly…“Do My Best” Akae Beka Righteous Synergy.
The album for many reasons had the feeling of the deep in it, it has joy and sorrow, looking at life as a people, as a collective. The energy of be renewed and rebirth, through the water, of the Holy Spirit, brings the immensity of being in this experience by invoking the ocean. Our connection to the creatures of this planet is a link to Jah, from the smallest to the biggest. As well as the bones and souls of our ancestors and that be reborn again. ” The Spirit of Love ” takes us there. As Akae Beka touches on how we take for granted the toil and pressure that makes us alive. He also speaks on the power of Quietude to see in contrast to making no sound. It is a powerful and humbling tune that seemed to keep my emotions balanced while we worked on this endeavor.
The back cover was done with oil, and had been released previously. It seemed to feel proper, and have the orderly nature of honoring the works of everyone involved. Honoring The God of Ethiopia, the roots of humanity and the home of the Ark of the Covenant. Igziabeher, Atse Haile Selassie, The Power of the Trinity.
Every song on this album has shaped the art and InI meditations, each song is powerful to the gut. I pray we hear the message and exemplify the care that the Hon. Vaughn Benjamin worked to bring the world. Give thanks for everyone who worked so hard to make this album happen, notably Juaquin Wilson of Fifth Son Records, whom has been diligent and vigilant showing everyone respect along the way. The following are the credits and the back cover of the vinyl record that will be coming out soon. You can get more information and order a hard copy album from http://fifthsonrecords.com 
In a tradition that goes back several decades amongst some reggae artists and DJ’s, is to have a quote from His Imperial Majesty on the CD tray. The following is the full quote as well as a photo of The Root of David, Emperor Haile Selassie First, The King of Kings and Conquering Lion of Judah at His Coronation Nov.2.1930. This photo, though there are many that were taken within the same minutes, has not been published to my knowledge. I acquired them by accident when purchasing a package of old photos taken in Ethiopia from Ebay. It was a small photo, 1×2″ and I will include the original below. I doubt that the film exists, and I wanted to share a little about the photo and how it came to be on the cd tray.

Back of Coronation photo: ” The King leaving cathedral after his coronation. He is in the rear with the ball.. ( still?) in his hands. (underlined) The old man (?) in front with glasses is the one who inducted the service. Y(?)…? Church.”

The full quote of His Imperial Majesty’s words to the United Nations in 1970:
“The choice of this age and the very future of our humanity is simple: collective survival, or collective extinction. When the stark choice is thus revealed in all its naked horror, dare we hesitate as to our choice? The choice we know; the means we can rediscover in a reinvigorated and mature United Nations. The will to act, and the courage and determination to implement the decisions we must take, matter. Let this session be the rebirth of the United Nations, and the reaffirmation of our faith in the ever-continuing validity of the purposes and principles for which it was established. A grave responsibility rests upon us: to ensure our own collective survival, and the future of unborn generations.
May the Almighty grant us the wisdom, courage and determination to rise to this supreme challenge and reap a rich reward!”
October 24, 1970.

Give thanks for the Day and the Month, the Lion Frequency is flowing fine. I liked what Buju Banton said on the Breakfast Club a couple Strongs (weeks) ago, paraphrased, big things happen in July and August, it is part of the alignment of all of creation to a cosmic renewal that translates through the powers of the Lion. It is also the time to celebrate the Birth of Emperor Haile Selassie I. July 23rd 1892 Our King was born.
These are a some of the joy-tings and drawings /art that I produced this month. There are more, however I can’t share them yet. Some really hard work was put into art, and the powers in the moment and time were capsulated. We are still in the Lion constellation now, so expect big output from many Ras and Likeminded Hearts. There are descriptions of where these pieces have gone on the last article. This is the art solo, in which prints will be available. Reserve one by inboxing that you’re interested and I will make sure the first round of prints go to ya. Give thanks and praise for Life! Thank you for checking out the new works, and Full Joy.
