Today I drew r&b singer Frank Ocean. He started his career writing for Beyonce, John Legend, and Justin Bieber and he recently has gotten a lot of attention for coming out. He wrote on his blog:
In the last year or 3 I've screamed at my creator, screamed at the clouds in the sky, for some explanation. Mercy maybe. For peace of mind to rain like manna somehow.
4 summer ago, I met somebody. I was 19 years old. He was too. We spent that summer, and the summer after, together. Everyday almost… Sleep I would often share with him. By the time I realized I was in love, it was malignant. It was hopeless. There was no escaping.
And I don't know what happens now, and that's alrite. I don't have any secrets I need kept anymore… Thanks to my first love, I'm grateful for you. Grateful that even though it wasn't what I hoped for and even though it was never enough, it was… I feel like a free man. If I listen closely… I can hear the sky falling too.
Amen my brother. Frank drawn with ink, pen, and pencil on 9" x 12" paper. You can see more on my fb page. Thanks!
