Besides, the work doesn't reflect the artist's cultural background or racial identity; it doesn't tell you anything about the artist. We are clearly dealing with someone who has a low self- esteem and a negative self image here...
These drawings do not deserve to be on Blacknet.co.uk, they should rather be on CoconutNet.co.uk or BountyNet.co.uk.
The boy is obviously a bounty, that's why his work doesn't reflect his cultural background and racial heritage at all.
How come his own people cannot relate to his creations? What sort of African artist finds it too hard to draw characters that look like himself and his own people?
I would rather spend my money on an authentic Japanese Manga, drawn by a true Japanese artist than this plagiarism.
We are obviously dealing with a coconut here.

@liloba,
I don't know if you are artiest, but you seems to have a very good critics about other people work, they are hard work of people, I would like to see your work posted here before you criticise other people.
BN is not forbidding people work if they are not of Africa culture, but BN admiring talented black people who can stand up for themselves and also encouraging others to improve their talent in them.
There are various aspect of specialties in the society today, do they all have to be related to Africa culture?
I think you have made a mistake when you say that the art is reflected to his origin, art is what you observe and what you feel, if that is what this gentle man feel and he have choosing as his profession, what wrong with that? what is your profession? it is related to Africa culture mr/miss know it all?
I can say he is really making a good of his hand and it could be a good profession for him.

It takes a coconut to understand another coconut. Normal people celebrate their own culture first, and if they live long enough they might contribute something to other people's cultures.
Yes everything I do is related to Africa, because Africa is the way I see the world, the way I think, the way I feel, the way I act, my dreams and my inspiration...Everything about me is relevant to Africa, because I am Africa. Without me, it's just a piece of earth.
The man is completely useless and irrelevant, they are millions of Japanese who can make a better contribution to Japanese popular culture. No doubt.
As priviledged Africans and priviledged people of African descent, it is our duty and our responsibility to use those opportunities that have been bestowed upon us to do the things that hundreds of millions of Africans cannot do. Everytime we fail to represent them and ourselves in a positive way we become a complete waste of semen.
That's what civilized people do, they use their talent to make a contribution to the advancement of their people. Japanese people don't need the talents of a black coconut wannabee Japanese artist. They make their own talented and authentic Japanese people, thank you.
But why am I wasting my time anyway? Concepts like responsibility, duty, originality and civilization are too complicated for a coconut head to understand. The only thing a coconut head understands is "food, shelter, clothing, protection, satisfaction, pleasure etc.".
Fortunately, evolution is taking care of you coconut heads! They are less and less of you.
In the UK the only ethnic minority group that doesn't increase in numbers is the coconut community. Most of you are already breeding whith anything that doesn't look like yourselves! Ah, Ah, Ah, Darwin was spot on!
There are more and more Europeans, Asians and Africans.
Thank God there are less and less coconuts. 
Evolution is already taking care of you, so I am not going to waste my time on this...Keep away and we'll get on fine.

"Liloba
Well, first of all I will like to say happy new year to you!
I am not going to go so low like you, because I have to keep silent to an ignorant person like you, silence is the best answer given to a fool. it could be good of me to educate you out of your ignorance. But this will be a wast of breath, as a FOOL never take correction, and you always look at your ways right, unfortunately nothing can be done, all you need is a full repentance which will cost you very much dear...

@basic_meo
Ha ha ha! Is that the best you can do?
I think I am going to ignore your pathetic reply.
You've obviously run out of ideas.
Ha ha ha!
You should have stayed out of this, your brain is too lazy for this type of discussion.
Tchao and happy new year!

| I LONGED to see a lot more of myself also as I looked through the gallery. Can't wait until you address those missing pieces of your work. You are a very very talented artist.

Airman, I've just seen all your art and it is very good.  You obviously have talent and passion for it.
I think it is important for us to give each other constructive critism in order to keep developing and growing, therefore I will say to you; since you are Black, why don't you draw something that reflects a bit of yourself? If you love yourself, why not celebrate yourself in your work?
As I said before, you're obviously talented, but your work does not seem to have a true 'identity', something unique to you, something that puts a bit of 'you' on your work...... I cannot relate to any of your work coz I don't see a Black man's Art, I see a Japanese man's art. How can I love your work when it has no connection to me or anything African?

Happy New Year to you too.
Visual art must be the most difficult of all in that sense.
If you are a dancer, actor, or musician, you can perform something "traditionally European," a Serenade, Hedda Gabler, or La Boheme, if you will, and people can see the performer and know who you are and that you are bringing the experience to the role.
Visual artists have to rely on their work to "speak" for them, and so when the audience knows the background of the artist and the work doesn't seem to "speak" or reflect the experience, we question.
I can only imagine that some (many? a few?) artists would respond--"don't box me in" as being an artist is to some degree supposed to be to be non-conformist. Isn't it what Morgan Freeman was speaking to when he said, "don't view me as a Black actor, view me as an actor, period." (paraphrase)
I went to a Studio Museum exhibit and lecture the other day and there was this notion of "post-Black" mentioned. It was said to "define a generation of black artists who felt free to abandon or confront the label of 'black artist,' preferring to be understood as individuals."
