It’s always been difficult explaining to people exactly what I do for a living. So for years, I’ve been trying to create an elevator pitch, an explainer for who I am, and what I want to create in the world. Here’s my most recent attempt. Please share with someone you think should see it. 💙

Thanks to all the creator and partners who helped make this moments happen!

A look at my new shoe collection HARLEMOLOGY!
Harlemology by Dandy Wellington, is a sartorial love letter to the style, history and people of Harlem. Inspired by early 20th century silhouettes seen on the streets and brownstone stoops of Sugar Hill, this shoe collection seeks to uplift the architects of the neighborhood’s past and highlight many of the custodians of its cultural present.

I am not a judge (by design) but as the facilitator of these awards i've seen the portfolios from the graduating Black Illustration seniors and our jury really has some tough decisions to make because the work is all amazing.
If we raise more money we can give them more money so please donate or buy prints.
