i am nobody - tmnk

I bet you didn't know...NOBODY DID IT:

This link will take you to TMNK's current auctions and gallery offerings, as well as the work of some of his talented friends and SoSIC collective members AVONE, SKI, and 2ESAE. - thanks for your support, now please tell someone what "nobody" did. - TMNK

"Exactly, who is this "nobody" and what did he do?"

For the past several years there has been an artist quietly making a name for himself - but not using his name. The Me Nobody Knows, or TMNK as he signs his work, has been slowly building a following of galleries, collectors, and art enthusiasts who know exactly what he did

. TMNK is a mixed-media artist who’s paintings offer poignant socio-political observations and commentaries of his daily observations. Each creation a spontaneous, yet cerebral mix of symbols, words, and figures used as devices to leave subtle clues for the viewer to interpret. His work has often been compared to Picasso, Keith Harring, Romare Bearden and of course, Basquiat. And while he enjoys the comparisons to these great artists, this “nobody” (as he refers to himself), seems quite comfortable creating and articulating a variety of subject matters in his own unique voice.

But why nobody? Doesn’t every artist want to be that “Somebody” that everyone knows? Well for TMNK it began as a gut reaction to a report of yet another young Black male reportedly envolved in a crime on the evening news. Convinced, that, for every one individual highlighted by the media to be engaged in acts of violence and criminaility, that there were hundreds, perhaps thousands more contributing to the strong and vibrant fabric of his community that nobody knew, he set out to make a statement with his art, his journey, and the name - The Me Nobody Knows.

“I realized it wasn’t enough that I be yet another one who “made it” out of the hood. I wanted my unique artistic journey to be one marked not only by the paintings in prestigious museums, galleries, and collections, but one also marked by the people I touched and uplifted along the way. It would be these moments of impacting and connecting with others via his art, that would be his lasting masterpieces. And thus being a nobody began to take on a special meaning for TMNK. For despite the obstacles and struggles he faced - nobody did it, and therefore perhaps he believed that his journey might inspire others to believe in themselves too. The mentoring program he started on the gang-infested corner of the neighborhood he grew up in, is proof of that commitment to uplifting others. Each Saturday, he would bring donated computers (as well as his own) to a storefront and teach kids animation, digital music production, and web design. He ended the program by renting a limo and treating all the participants to lunch at a upscale New York Restuarant. Why? “Drug dealers tempt our kids with the fruits of their trade, I thought it important that kids from my community know what the rewards of hard work felt like, tasted like.

So exactly who is TMNK? Tattoo artist? Music producer? Animator? Video Director? Mixed-Media Artist? “I am the defiant thread who has boldy decided to weave instead of being woven and proclaim myself an artist, to you I may be nobody. Okay, then undeterred and unaffected I say to you - Nobody did it (and so can YOU).

Please stop by my ebay gallery to see and purchase the new paintings and drawings that "nobody did" or just search ebay for TMNK.
