Cbabi Bayoc

New portrait at SLU Law School. I’m honored to have been chosen. More, that Dean Johnson didn’t even want to be another white portrait on the wall unless I did it and did it in a way that it represented resistance to the status quo. Faculty had to really convince him to be portrayed. One of me and Amber’s favorite yeses. He requested the All Star and I came up with book titles based on conversations with him and reading his posts online. Honored to be part of his and the school’s story. 🙏🏽❤️

Own where you are right now and state one foot step, roller skate, tootsie roll to your next level! 👊🏽❤️

My first attempt at animation 🤣🙏🏽 More to come… .. #procreatedreamsanimation #procreatedreams #cbabibayoc @lionforgedave @hewhowinsthestruggle

This diptych “Mass Incarceration” is now up for auction along with twenty or so others. Just click the eBay link in my bio. We did this about three years ago. I have no problem purging. I have given away art my whole career and LOVE being a first in many lives that Neva Eva thought they would have an original. And I paint A LOT! So please treat yourself and share with others you think may be interested. Be safe out here ERRBODY 🙏🏽❤️

Behind the Scenes of @cbabi Bayoc painting a piece called Color of Sound. The design is based on abstracted finger tips to highlight that music brings many of all walks together. Music binds us and nourishes us. The canvas is our Aeris XD and this piece is one of a kind.

It’s intimidating to paint different, yet it feels so free and authentic. The words are emotionally charged with messages to myself to unlearn what I have heard or told myself what it means to be an artist and what I MUST do. I seek vulnerability and integrity. You are really getting to see my joy expressed ❤️ New paintings being added regularly for sale thru link in bio. Thanks to those who have been supporting this new work. 🙏🏽 .. #cbabibayoc #abstractartwork #abstracttext

You are Perfect, 8x8 in acrylic on wood panel Message to our youth (and inner child) In a world with so many messages, even one with self confidence must be reminded to shut out the noise. The canvas is filled with messages of trust in one’s voice as well as some of the bs I have heard over the years. These canvases are both design and therapy ❤️

One collector asked to use the portrait offer for two giants in her life: Audre Lorde and James Baldwin. James is 24x30 And Audre Lorde is a 40x30. Both are acrylic on canvas. We have 10 more slots before the offer ends. Just go to the link in the bio. Choose your size and we will email you next steps. Thanks all that have gotten a family member done or an abstracted portrait. Collecting black art is popping right now. Portraits count… museums are full of commissioned portraits… FYI. 🙏🏽❤️ .. #cbabibayoc #portraits #commissionedportraits #acrylicpainting

6x24 acrylic on cradled wood panel The text written is about the exploitation of so many of our geniuses from the delta that were the seed of what is one of the greatest treasures of American culture: Black music! .. #cbabibayoc #blackmusic #bluesmusiclover @posca_usa

Rather create unique art instead of filling a landfill with these cans from my murals. These also are great ways to create studies for larger canvases. Some very cool treatments on these cans that I can’t wait to explore on larger surfaces. Available cans thru the link in my bio. .. #abstractpainting #spraycanart #muralartist #cbabibayoc
