Radiant Energy

Radiant Energy. Digital art created on canvas. September 21, 2024. Afrika Abney

“Radiant Energy serves as an inspiring foundation for artistic creativity, especially highlighted through the vibrant interaction of red and gold ochre. The intensity of red, characterized by its lively and passionate essence, stands in striking contrast to the comforting glow of gold ochre. This dynamic pairing not only draws the viewer's attention but also ignites the imagination, conjuring visions of autumnal scenes and the gentle illumination of dusk. The interplay of these hues fosters a visual conversation that reflects the abundance of the natural world and the profound emotional experiences inherent to humanity.”

Abstract digital series

  Abstract digital series. July 12, 2024. Afrika Abney  I have been creating various types of art since I was a college student from 1993 - 1997.  I did not start creating digital art until 2009.

Rhythms of Life and Poppies

  “The interplay of life's various rhythms and the vibrant imagery of poppies creates a profound narrative that resonates deeply within the human experience. Life is characterized by its cyclical nature, marked by the ebb and flow of emotions, events, and seasons. Each rhythm, whether it be the gentle pulse of daily routines or the more tumultuous beats of significant life changes, contributes to the rich tapestry of existence. Poppies, with their striking red petals and delicate structure, symbolize both the beauty and transience of life.”

I have an extensive music background. Reluctant to give me a chance because of the lies and your own experiences, well is like building walls and bricks.

Dating Ethics

Dating co-workers in professional work settings is inappropriate. When employers hired me to provide a specific service from 1995-2018, I will always remain professional. I do not believe in dating my former co-workers of the opposite sex. I will remove myself from the setting first when I have noticed that I developed such attraction. Making a bet and bribing co-workers to go against their standards is unethical. If you have an interest in me, then you should have asked for my contact information. Numerous people do not know me at all. Contact me only by phone at 202-384-5925 Preference - single straight male over the age of 30 I no longer provide educational, career day and free services. It is not the past and I am not interested in dating women nor boys.
