Raise Up Jah Umbrella 16x16" Acrylic and Indian ink

Raise Up Jah Umbrella
16×16″ Acrylic and Indian ink

In the period of early November we celebrate and also remember the importance of the Rastafari Trod. In that are the prayers and meditations that come forward in the art. In this time there are lots of reflections and conclusive gratitude. In the heights of discipline and respect, in accordance with what we have been taught, a simple good feeling to know we have seen HIM, Emperor Haile Selassie I. There is something different and astounding about those who have seen the Face of Jah and know it, those who heard the Word of Jah and obeyed. How Great it is to see ourselves in HIM, and HIM in Us. We have been called on a journey to learn about His Imperial Majesty for the sake of our own well being and humanity. Those who stand for the King of Kings must also be noted, for when they do so with such Zeal, that the Earth is changed and altered by a frequency of revelation, 24/7 that sound and being becomes a reality that alters the collective. Somewhere at any minute of the day, Bob Marley or Vaughn Benjamin’s voice echoes and thunders without cease. In so, we are reminded of the days of old… of the apostles that have their own life that changed the world, the importance of the King and His Christ, and also those who spread and suffered for the Word, so that we know it. Give thanks for all the bringers, those carrying on the potent reminder that the music is the medicine. Whether speaking and teaching yourself, or spreading the music and mission of Vaughn Benjamin, give thanks. In this ancient order, of fully embracing Our Jah so that His Splendor showers over our lives, we make our collective oneness everlasting. When we put Jah First, We become greater than any storm, and in His Power We Stay Forever. Raise up Jah Umbrella!

This piece is in honor of our teacher, mentor and brother, Hon. Vaughn Benjamin, the voice of Midnite, Akae Beka. Forever in Jah Powers. In The Highest Most Perfect Love. Rastafari.

” In Her High Place” is a new piece just completed. 18″x24″ Acrylic and Indian Ink

In Her High Place. Acrylic and Indian ink

Reflecting on the power of faith in Ethiopia, the common Ethiopian Woman is one of the first thoughts that comes to mind. The prayerful manner of the women and the personal relationship they have with the Most High, stands out with poi’s unique to Ethiopia.

The importance of expressing the mood meant I needed to highlight the simplicity of her complexity. The brown dress and top, was done so that it was clear that she was living her everyday life, that she wasn’t going to church or in a formal setting. It is a country rural environment, high in the hills, and being in pure white was too easy for the symbolic expression of faith. Still it was important to have the traditional Ethiopia head wrap, and the church in the background, being it is intrinsic to the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Culture, and a part of daily life. Couple with that, is the very familiar small wooden cross around her neck. This cross is the cross that is most common, especially around children, as a way of enforcing the faith humbly, where the cross is small, easy to make and a sign of understanding of an unpretentious christianity.

The Lion and Lamb, on the Ethiopian Solomonic Seal, represents the Power and Prophecy of Iyesus Christos return as the Conquering Lion of Judah in His Kingly Character. The relationship of Ethiopia to this declaration and eventual actualization, is its own foundation in each person based on faith. In oneness, this woman represents that embracing of this holy land, the prophecies and prophets. That a Lion and Lamb mind state is native to Ethiopia and naturally would become a part of the social structure of the collective mind. Likewise the three doves, representing the Holy Trinity, are flying in the background as a further reminder of the divine unity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit as God the Lion and Lamb through the Holy Spirit that dwells in the Heart of flesh. Both would reveal themselves in the Same Name, through the fulfillment in the personage of Qedamawi Haile Selassie. (First and Forever, the Power and Virtue of the Trinity) Who is the Conquering Lion of Judah, King of Kings, and the Root of David. Emperor of Ethiopia, Throne of Zion and Beta Israel.

In the Ethiopian highlands there are flowers all about, and because it has 13 months of sunshine, in their remarkable calendar, it felt appropriate to make different forms of sunflowers.

I hope you have enjoyed this piece, and will share it with others. The original piece is for sale for $625. plus shipping for the original. Prints are also available, please send a message if interested. $30 for 8×11″ signed bagged and backed or $60 for 11×17″ signed and in a hard plastic case.

Jah Bless you all and stay focused on doing your best, expand your love capacity and build for tomorrow. One Jah, One Heart, One Love, One Blood. Holy Emanuel I, Selassie I, Jah Rastafari.

” Faith ” Acrylic and Indian ink, 28″x36″
This piece is inspired by Neil Mangicaro of Roots Works by his new single ” Faith “. This song moved InI deeply and is focused on His Majesty and being, all that which is InI. Being the Soul’s Soul, and in this piece we express what that feels like to us. In the midst of the hustle and rain, InI’s have a different light on us, a light also within. That within the ones who know themselves, find the Emperor, and within the Emperor we find His Christ. In that we find the links of sacrifice and suffering to overcoming and conquering, we find the Power, The Haile, The Lion, and We find the Humble, The Lamb, Rastaman, that doesn’t need to seek shelter from the rain. In that piece and light, we welcome InI Ingels, and ancestors to guide I trod. The song will be out soon everywhere. Produced by Jallanzo. Prints available soon.

“Faith”

One of things that touched I about Airman Aaron Bushnell was that he smiled while he lit himself on fire. How he stood like a solider for Jah and smiled. I have a video talking about his courage and the power of martyrdom as I create this painting: Thank you Aaron for making the cry for resistance to genocide and for defense of Palestine and basic human rights.

KVJ Isaiah 66:14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.

15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

16 For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.

17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.

It was in the beginning, is now and forever will be, Jah Kingdom without end. One Black Love. Before “out of many nations we were one”, Out of ONE came many nations. This is beyond humans all coming from the African continent, it is about where your Creator comes from. The Jah that is Love isn’t a recent event, isn’t a race, it is from the source, deeper than words. That Black Love, That absolute power is supreme. Black Supremacy is Love Supremacy, for only Love can be supreme. We Know Jah is Love and Let Us Be Love, seven words of Love of King Emmanuel the 7th, the Black Christ, we know Our love is not the superficial love of satan’s queendom. In Our Love, there is no fear, no fear of Black, no fear of White. In Our Black Love, We are those who have resurrected, and survived, We are the remnants and left overs, we are the despised and scorned. Our Black Love wants each one to be with his vine and fig tree, not to control the fate of others. In One Black Love there is justice for all and not for some, there is not a desire to forget and forsake. One Black Love. One Black God, in a Black Christ Salvation Order. Holy Emmanuel I, Selassie I, Jah Rastafari.

Being an artist is like being in a storm all the time, there is non stop brain activity that the non verbal manners of communication are trying to find a still visualization. In the subtle is the profound and in the loud there is an eire lack of anything worth hearing. Navigating through the highways of creation creator experience is the world of recording, writing and doing the stuff to get the art out. It is a joy to share this rush of emotions and thoughts as paintings, and drawings. Here are some of the new works, not all, because many of the pieces are awaiting release on albums. It is important to write, that I am now including a time limit, which was always in my discretion of when I will show InI art. We have to figure out as artists how to not hold ourselves and others waiting to release works, while being mindful that it takes time to put out an album or song. Doing art isn’t something artists really choose all way, it takes them over, and it is a way of breathing that is inseparable from life. This is why it needs to be shared and out in the world, because like air, and the living breath of life, we are here to share it. Here are some new works, with much more to come. I hope you enjoy, and if there are any questions, feel free to message InI. Jah Be with you all, and Give thanks to be able to share this precious experience together in any capacity. In the Mercy and Grace of the Most High Jah! Rastafari! Haile Selassie I First.

In the last few Strongs, many of us prepare for the new year, and the celebrations for His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie First. It is a time of inner and outer travel often. In the last few Strongs, InI have reflecting on the Pioneers of Rastafari, those who led the way, and the impact they had and have. I feel that our collective experience cannot be fully drawn or painted, nor all the people represented, this is a part of a collective story and records of those who we know, there are those many of us don’t or will learn about more. The piece is to encourage ones to know more, to learn about the foundations of the Rastafari Movement. Some of these men we met, some taught us or our elders, and they are family to many as well. In full respect and reverence, this piece salutes the Fathers who gave their lives so we can know Rastafari as King, and Ourselves as a movement. Many of these men met the King of Kings, some sent by H.I.M., all of them emanated His Love.

In a time where many talk about disunity, let us project our unity and love for the many Houses of Rastafari, the growth and changes, the natural progressions that make up our Fathers Mansion. In a ministry of Reconciliation, May we reconcile with the most important of topics, including Love amongst bredren and sistren, where we come from, and where are we going.

This piece is livicated to all the Rastamen and Rastawomen that came so we can be here this day, the ones that have moved forward yet Itinue to nurture the Souls of Men and Women today.

Jah Willing, I will make a piece to show some of the Mighty Empresses that have given their lives to the people and movement, as well as those who were closest around the Emperor, such as Ras Kassa, and the Pankhurst family.

These are Names of those in the Joyting, ” Rastafari Pioneers”, Emperor Haile Selassie First, Hon. Vaughn Benjamin, Rt. Hon. Bob Nesta Marley, Sam Brown, Sir William Arthur Lewis, Ras Daniel Heartman, Mortimo Planno, Pa Shanti, Rt. Hon. Prince Charles Edwards Emmanuel the 7th, Bongo Rocky, Douglas R.A. Mack, Abuna Yesehaq, Prophet Gad, Shepard Robert Athlyi Rogers, Rt Hon. Marcus Mossiah Garvey, Father Joseph Hibbert, Dr. Malaku E. Bayen, Hon. Leonard The Gong Howell.

Give thanks and praise for the bringers, the ones that stood up and spoke out for the benefit of all InI’s. Special thanks to Ras Flako. To all those who stood for decolonization, freedom, redemption, repatriation, liberation and reparations, salvation, Africa, Ancientcy and self determination, and most of all for Our God and King, The Conquering Lion of Judah.

Ethiopian Evening Small

Ethiopian Eve. Small. Acrylic

This is a piece that I have enjoyed making before, and making small updates or changes. This is the mini version of Ethiopian Evening. Acrylic 20×16″. The piece highlights that even in total unity we still are one of kind. This is highlighted by the man in the center, wearing jeans and blue shirt with a red gold and green beanie.

The Emperor in the Garden

The Emperor in The Garden. : Acrylic and Indian ink

How good it is to start the day with a mediation of simple goodness. Micah 6:8 “He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you, But to do justly,
To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God.”

Brand New piece of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I, Conquering Lion of Judah. This is based on the last known photo of HIM and invoked lots of emotions. One is that the sun isn’t setting, neither does His Reign End. That this Garden was more of a place of peace and family, not a place of recluse or arrest. His Majesty is the brightness and solemness of the Garden and it is an expression of His Life. The feeling was more important than detail, and movement was focused on through using impressionism.
The King of Kings lives up to His Title, by being humble in times of adversity, one who taught to us to love mercy and fought for Justice for all Mankind. Glorify and Praise that which is Good. Rastafari. Prints are available, inbox if interested.
Thank You Justyn for commissioning the piece and having a great moment and glimpse worthy of remembering. Egziabeher Yemasagan

The Soul of the Church

The Soul of the Church : Acrylic and Indian ink

The Living Church is the Living Body, The Temple of the Most High. The Cross is the world, the world that we are in but not of. We have risen from worldly ways of control and power, we are a walking resurrection. Like the Church in background, there is space that goes through, like how everyone will carry their own cross whether they asked for it or not. The King and the Tree.

Shadow Priest : Acrylic and Indian ink

12×18″ ” Shadow Priest” acrylic. A piece about Ethiopian Priests in quiet meditations. Wanted to capture the feeling of sunlight and contrast, with a simple sky. All of which allows the stillness and contemplation of the priest reading to be felt.

Remembering Solidarity : Acrylic and Indian ink

This piece is symbolic of the way elephants protect family and the adaptation of new situations. Liken to how a blind man will describe an elephant differently based on where he is standing, so we must realize there can be many truths that exist at once. This will allow us to end tribalistic thinking that declares one version of history the only history accepted.

Once Again, Give thanks for the Mighty Life Giver, Who Rules in the Heart of All Flesh. In this time, to be able to express through art and life, the Ivine King within ALL that is evident in the personage of The King of Kings is the Highest Honor a person can share. We do know that the Word in the Scriptures has been upheld in that His Face does Shine upon Us, All the Days of Our Lives. To be a witness is to behold, The Conquering Lion of Judah has Prevailed. Forever we do give thanks and praise. Qedamawi Atse Haile Selassie First. Jah Rastafari.
