Jimmy david ikard he makes the most of9x12 mixed media painting (charcoal, pastels, gouache, and watercolor) in watercolor paper, matted and framed to 20x23.

His insights continue to have a profound effect on how we think about race, self determination, activism, and American identity. In this mixed media painting, I tried to capture his powerful gaze.
