T- I like the colors you used for the background. A- Why is there a dark black line on the side? G- Fill in all the white space.

Bob Boze Bell would be proud. Come to think of it, Doc Holiday, Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson might all be impressed some too. You're really talented. This painting really captures a certain edgy Southern wildcat spirit. Only Bell can whip out a picture like this almost once a day. If you look for him on social media, he used to call them "the daily whip our," where he'd post pages from his sketchbook- only he sketches mostly with paint.

The way he is in the corner makes him look sad and lonely :(.

You're a really talented visual artist. My hope with this kind of assignment was to give you some outlet for both your talent and your ideas, feelings, frustrations & creativity. I'm looking forward to see what kinds of things you do this year.
Here's some background on "The black cartoon character that appears as the artwork for “HOLOCAUST” (as well as for all of the songs that he puts out under the Lil Darkie name) has also been a source of controversy. Some have commented on the fact that this character resembles the Hawley and Hazel toothpaste mascot “Darkie”, a racist depiction of white actor Al Jolson in blackface. When asked about the resemblance, Lil Darkie claimed that it was entirely coincidental and that there was absolutely no racist intent behind it. Again, Hamilton has claimed that he doesn’t believe in race whatsoever.
Hamilton also gave the real reasoning for switching the color of his cartoon character from blue to black. He has said that after researching further into Hindu mythology, he learned that Hindu gods are typically depicted as having black skin rather than blue in Hindu texts." ~https://www.alittlebithuman.com
