Submission for Commission Art Project - Clarence Pointer

Just reflecting back over this journey as a celebrity/international visual artist.  I didn't realize the extent of those influential individuals who has acquired my artwork, until asked for a future blog article being generated as a salute to my 13th year as a full-time visual artist next month.  



He's a few notable names of who are patrons of my artwork💯

*NFL star Derrick Henry  *Dick Gregory  *Jay Leno  *Arsenio Hall  *Will and Jada Smith  *Smokey Robinson  *Berry Gordy  *Jayne Kennedy Overton *Claudette Robinson  *Rosa Parks  *Andrew Young  *Bill Duke *Michael E Williams  *Coach Henry Boone "Remember the Titans"  *1968 Olympian John Carlos *Hank Dixon from the Motown group The Originals  *Gene Chandler "The Duke of Earl"  *Bo Jackson  *Former NBA star Tracy Murray  *Former NFL star Thomas Hollywood Henderson  *Former NFL star Willie Flipper Anderson. *  Apostle Frederick K. C. Price

I decided to take my art seriously to another level in 2008, after being laid off of my corporate America job.  It's now my sole source of income.  Making God proud for blessing me with a unique gift is one of the major driving forces that inspires the Pencilman daily. Psalms 133:1 is my favorite scripture, look it up.  

For the next week, I'm offering 50% DISCOUNTS on original drawing request, so contact me ASAP 💯

39 International Publishers Join Together for First Streamed Virtual Book Showcase

 London, 28th October 2021

39 International Publishers Join Together for First Streamed Virtual Book Showcase in Support of UN’s COP26 Meeting

Over 150 books focussing on climate change and sustainability from 39 German, French and English-language publishers can now be freely read, browsed and searched as part of an unprecedented and innovative virtual showcase, created in support of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow.

Streamed through the Exact Editions platform, the showcase includes books from fiction, non-fiction and children’s literature genres that cover topics from air pollution and economics to biodiversity and agriculture. The collection of titles constitutes a comprehensive resource that aims to spread awareness about the need for urgent combative actions against the climate crisis across society.

The showcase opened for an initial period of four days around the Pre-COP Meeting in Milan, and is live from today until the end of 22 November in support of the main COP26 Glasgow Meeting. The initiative, which has been supported by the International Publishers Association (IPA) and Save the Children, is the first time that publishers have participated in such a freely-available and virtually streamed collection, and is an example of how the publishing industry at large is taking steps to emphasise the importance of sustainability.

Exact Editions’ leading digital archiving technology means each individual book, publisher sub-collection and the complete showcase all benefit from the advanced search function, which enables readers to pinpoint references to specific key terms, topics or authors instantly. Titles can be navigated seamlessly through fully-linked contents pages and a helpful variety of views: single-page; double-page; and thumbnail.
