My Black Jesus - Framed Literary Digital Art Print on Matte Canvas

Artist: B. Pazant
A mixed-media poetic portrait by Bradford William Pazant

This piece is not a traditional religious image.
It is a meditation on Black humanity, survival, memory, resistance, and sacred love.

Rendered in a raw charcoal-and-ink aesthetic, My Black Jesus blends poetry, protest imagery, handwritten scripture-like fragments, and textured collage into a contemporary literary art print that feels both archival and deeply personal. Inspired by the original poem from We Were Never Meant to Beg for Light, the artwork reimagines divinity through the lived experiences, resilience, and spiritual inheritance of Black life.

Every mark is intentional:
smudged graphite,
distressed paper textures,
handwritten lines,
crossed-out margins,
and imperfect strokes that evoke the feeling of a recovered notebook, a sermon in progress, or a sacred document passed hand to hand.

This piece was created for readers, thinkers, artists, poets, educators, and anyone drawn to work that sits at the intersection of literature, spirituality, Black identity, and visual storytelling.

Perfect for:

Home libraries
Reading rooms
Creative studios
Gallery walls
Literary spaces
Black art collections
Thoughtful gifts for readers, writers, and cultural historians

It is a conversation piece.
