A servant of imagination, this is what I am; it is as real as the mind conceives it to be and breeds learning, escape, beauty, and a boundlessness to openness. As an artist I desire to bring storytelling through my images. It is a long term goal of mine. Storytelling through illustration; it’s one of the expressive mediums where imagination thrives. I love art, expression, and diversity. With an equally strong love for fantasy or anything fictional, I started to create those kinds of images. I’ve been creating since the age of twelve, drawing portraits predominately. That was until, after high school, I discovered a different side to art. Learning about art became a natural course for me when I realized there was so much more to it. I sought information everywhere, though I had never entered into a school for art, and went down many different cross roads of experimentation to be where I am today.

He is a poem disguised as a song masquerading as a human being and clothed in this flesh brown.

Part of what he does is aimed specifically at depicting people of color in ways they may not necessarily be accustomed to seeing themselves depicted. He believes that when we see ourselves depicted in ways beautiful and fantastic, celebrated and sensual, it opens horizons in our heads where perhaps only walls existed before. It puts us directly in touch with our own potential as magical beings. He aims to be a portal to these visions. His art is a mouthpiece for energies that do not wish to use words to sing their songs.

Micah BlackLight wants people to see themselves in my work; both as they are, and as they could be. Never mind what society, religion or science tells them is possible, or proper, or achievable. He wishes them to see possibility, and LOVE the parts of themselves that my work speaks to. He wishes to engender a blossoming, collective sighs of wonder and marveling at the beauty they see reflected through my art.

Micah BlackLight is here to create the most brilliant, evocative, challenging, innovative, impactful art he is capable of, to have THE most fun while doing it, and to leave a trail of empowering, inspiring interactions in his wake-
