Christian, based in Atlanta, cites Afrofuturism as a constant source of inspiration, also telling POPSUGAR he has been focusing on partnering with other artists pushing forward the narrative of Black people and experimenting with innovation. He graduated from SCAD in 2016 and, as he puts it, is "more inspired than ever to produce visuals and lasting memories that permeate the minds and hearts of my creative and social media communities and beyond."
Past Work: Nike, Nordstrom, Billboard, V magazine, Nylon, and Harper's Bazaar. View his portfolio here.
Current Mission: "As a Black artist, I want to add to the conversation on how we're responding right now to the construct of our social norms as Americans and the nuances of racial identity, class, and culture that is and has always been woven into the fibers of our daily lives.
"Right now I'm working on a short film that will also be fashion-centric; the four Black female leads carry out a vigilante mission in the name of justice and retaliation against a particular police officer that has been known to vilify Black women in their community. They are somewhat reminiscent of the Black Panther Party, but the story is set in a not-too-distant future. My goal is to have the film incite dialogue about who and where we are as people and show how justice is literally worth risking your life for some of us."
