avid fan of mythology, superheroes, and manga. He earned his BFA and MFA in Computer Graphics from New York Institute of Technology. Brian's studies led him to develop the promotional mascot for SIGGRAPH Asia 2009. Though he studied digital sculpture, Brian's love of clay, watercolor, and digital painting inspire him the most. Currently, Brian exhibits his paintings, sculptures, and illustrations across galleries and conventions along the Northeast. His passion for the Arts led to earning the Marvin Horowitz Sculpture award. Brian has curated two exhibitions, Character Among Us and Our Muses Do Ninety. When he's not creating Brian enjoys relaxing by walking in nature, observing the world around him to take in inspiration, or reading a new comic/manga. "My creative process involves immersing myself in research and surrounding myself with imagery/shapes, forms and textures that I feel can resonate with the narrative I’m creating. Those separate items go through a sifting process as I forge a visual language for the work at hand. My latest body of work, The Orisha's, is a personal account of reclaiming identity. The project evolves as I wrestle with long held negative ideologies, deconstruct spiritual beliefs, focus on feelings of anti-blackness and my connection to that narrative, and I sever those bonds to build a new understandings." - Brian Cannady II https://www.bc2art.com/diaspora daily 0.75 2023-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3236baac9b87133722520c/3feacf84-d329-4965-8779-4e7c9223c3da/IMG_0554.jpeg Diaspora "Black Gold" - An exploration of the deification and commodification of the African/Black woman across modern western society. The imagery evokes a dreamscape where the Black woman is deified yet constantly taken advantage of, ripped away from her roots and forced to nurture those that would grow to continually abuse her. The dreamscape also looks to reconcile the fact that the Black woman is more than her trauma, she is regal, she is powerful, she is universal, despite the specter of Death, born from the very industry used to abuse her...puppeteering the 'strong arm of the law'to take even more from her. https://www.bc2art.com/murals daily 0.75 2023-11-16

black women, stars, galaxies and nebulas to the next level! Depicting the power, majesty and wonder of a Goddess descending to change the lives of those lucky enough to be in her presence. This piece is also inspired by one of my favorite character designs originally create by Steve Ditko and Stan Lee…namely Marvel’s Eternity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3236baac9b87133722520c/7b0b2c2a-a735-4b96-91ba-36f61b4e4dd5/IMG_0037.jpeg Celestial Series I just HAD to make something celebrating the planetary alignment phenomenon in December of 2020!! Energy is everything, and events where celestial bodies align can open up new beginnings for you. I hope today finds you in light and love. Even if it's dark around you, that's ok too. Just take it one day at a time, and keep on keeping on. Much love to ya. https://www.bc2art.com/nightskins daily 0.75 2022-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3236baac9b87133722520c/da02dbff-e762-45b2-abaf-a25caf3b0968/C7C9DA64-7BF2-47B7-8CE4-CC520B130B84.jpeg Nightskins https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3236baac9b87133722520c/1661701723222-DRDPVCNKJCITLASIF1RE/F3A9C643-510A-4858-864A-ACCD27805255.jpeg Nightskins https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3236baac9b87133722520c/1661701777386-HQ5YH2ELTRJ6P4JUADV2/ECF943EB-0234-487B-A01B-1D50660B33FC.jpeg Nightskins https://www.bc2art.com/store daily 0.75 2023-10-07
