FUN FACT: Did you know that...The story of Black Jesus" March of 1969 Ebony Magazine was nearly put out of business? Why...you may ask? They published an issue of Ebony Magazine with a Black Jesus on the cover. So many in the Black community were upset to the point of threatening to cancel their subscriptions, it went as far as customers sending in pictures of the white Jesus to replace it."
Finding out this history was what further motivated me to start my ICONS OF THE BIBLE photo series and inspired me to find a model that I envisioned JESUS looking like. Featured model is none other than Devan D. Dunson. My depiction of Jesus was also featured in the 2021 Coffee Table book entitled JESUS NOW Art + Pop Culture which can be purchased at all Barnes & Nobles Bookstores or online at /Jesus-Rocks-Contemporary-Graphic-Culture/dp/2374950069
Also prints of my ICONS OF THE BIBLE photo series can be purchased online at /profiles/2-cornelius-lewis or inside of the Incredible Artist Market located inside Greenbriar Mall here in Atlanta, GA.
