Artist's Statement
Jazmine Boykins, Blacksneakers, is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Greensboro. She expresses concepts of fantastical narratives and various genres while combining vibrant color schemes to create an intricate embodiment of work.
She demonstrates a series of science fiction/fantasy-related art under Afrofuturism and mysticism concepts in a cascading fashion. Each piece contains its own story; combined, they all revel in emotion, curiosity, and ‘other’.
