Why does discrimination exist in human kind?⁣
⁣
This question got me going during these surreal last few months,
filled with identity politics and racial questions.

⁣
⁣
We all know that racism is a form of discrimination but discrimination isn't racism only. ⁣
⁣
Discrimination is exclusion based on differences. ⁣
⁣
So why do we as humans almost inherently discriminate? ⁣
⁣
Here are my thoughts and keep in mind that I know nothing.
⁣
It's merely a single perspective on the whole Truth.⁣
⁣
Let's go.⁣

A little tribute to my old moniker Pandaboy in 2010, when I chose music over illustration. 🐼❤️🙏🏽

This is my only way of reasoning why racism is still at play through out the world in my opinion.
____
Looking at this model I believe that once a marginalised group is demarginalised, another group is waiting in line to be punched down upon. Because the system is allowing racism to seep through its cracks.
____
Message to me and maybe others: "What can you do?"
Dig deep into your own sense of materialism and consumerism. Do you really need those new pair of sneakers, clothes, furniture, gadgets and other stuff?
____
And to my fellow creatives: �Be aware who your client or boss is.
____
Meanwhile, think for other ways to improve our trading system. Where there is no need for oppression to be successful as a business. Businesses should be problem solvers,
not problem providers. But in a faulty system, most of them are both.
____
Also keep in mind:�� It’s important to not feel guilty for living in this current system.�� You are human, and need the essential resources provided in this system to survive.
____
I truly wish there was a flip-the-switch challenge for this. ��But the only partners for true growth are vision and time.
____
These are merely my thoughts and information that I’ve gathered throughout the years.�
Lectures by people like Kevin Bales, David Simon, Cornel West and common sense.
____
I am not telling you The Truth, I am only believing this is true.
____
Always think for yourself.
____
If I’m wrong please let me know. So I can review and learn from my mistakes.
____
Thank you for thinking with me.
____
❤️🙏🏽

S/O to the cultural sectors, creatives, entrepreneurs, leaders and communities who are struggling during this Q-Life! As I’ve worked for many cultural organisations in my career, I owe a big big thank you to all of you! 🙏🏽 _____ About this post, a big bless to the @hiphophuis who gave me the honour to illustrate their yearly program for 2019/2020! _ Their motto for this year is Aspire To Inspire. HHH wanted three visual outings for their paintwork and want to show their growth to adulthood and awareness.
_
To show growth I decided to make three portraits of the same individual in the course of their life where hiphop culture is of influence.
_
In these stages the individual is Inspired as a yungin’, Aspired as a young adult and Inspiring as a grown lady.
_
To emphasise the motto, I used the chin-up as a metaphor as well. ‘Looking up to’ is inspired, Chin up as in ‘I gots this.’ and Looking up in the form of bliss.
_
Thanks to @hiphophuis and @vanityroxane for reaching out, all the best in these hard times! ❤️ S/O to @almostjorn for the graphic design 👌🏽.

Giving a S/O to all the couples that are glued together in this Q-Life!
_____
I’ve been blessed with a loving and understanding partner. It makes me happy that we are still sweet to each other in these strange times.
_____
To all the couples, stay kind and however the outcome, remember that there isn’t anything to flourish without good soil.  _____ Made this last tuesday as a freestyle in about three hours. Started with a blank canvas, blank mind and just start creating. My favourite thing to do and sharing the process with you!  _____ ‘The Present’ is inspired by my lady @rijkofernandez , who is a true giver. ❤️

Commission @martijnbless : I feel obliged to start off by asking you all to love one another and yourself.
A lot has been said about this covid moment being a reset point, which I truly belief it is.
Reset on our worths, ideals, priorities, career, succes, enjoyment, everything.
We are all forced inwards, be pleased to meet you.
If I may give a contribution it’s the suggestion to keep your heart open, turn the eyes inward and let go of things you can’t control.
Be thankful of what you can.
The breath has been taken away from many of us, appreciate it.
Hope you are all doing good and be aware that fear has the biggest contamination rate of all. ❤️🙏🏽
___
Now let’s get back to the program:
Big thanks to my old friend @martijnbless who commissioned this piece! He wanted an artwork that reflected a few things: His wife @mrs.chantalbless , stepchildren @malikvii & @noahdoetinchem , himself, a bike, @wutangclan , The Sixers, a boombox, Moonwalker, a Super Nintendo and @spiderman !  So I figured to make them all riding his bike!  Had a ton of joy making this and again, big thank you to the homie @Martijnbless ❤️🙏🏽. ____ #marvinbruin #vector_art #vector_id #vectorartwork #vectors #imagery #portraitist #illustrations #printmaker #illustratorwork #vectorillustrator #illustratorcc #illustratorforhire #creativegrammer #creativeportraits #creative_person #virtuoso #artworkinstudio #artworkfeatures #artworks_portrait #igartwork #artwork_artist #lineworkartist #coloration #color_in #drawing🎨 #colordrawing

CPT. JEAN-LUC PICARD - STAR TREK TNG
_____
Some of y’all might already know, but I guess most of you don’t. I’m a trekkie. Surprise! Basically Star Trek The Next Generation is one of the main shows I grew up with and probably rewatched the whole series multiple times throughout the years.  _____ There is GOOD NEWS THO: The new Star Trek Serie: Picard is airing tonight! Can’t wait to see this ASAP! Just found out actually, after I started this portrait yesterday! Coincidences, I love them. Thank you universe.  _____ Back to TNG, there isn’t a science fiction series that is so engrained in my being than this one. In this reality there is no discrimination of any sort; financial, sexual, age and ‘racial’ (Within the human species). Also technology is implemented to actually improve society. Very much utopian in contrast with our apparent current hunger for dystopian taste in science fiction. To me, this was one of the most progressive shows on TV and still is to this day. This was one of the series where the protagonist was a balding old dude. Whut.  _____ What I consider the cool thing of this serie is that it often cuts into deeper philosophical questions and tries to answer it with elaborate and often quite over the top 90’s acting sequences. But nonetheless makes an effort to ponder existential questions that are deeply rooted in philosophy and science and even topics that hit on today’s science-facts. A lot of gadgets and technology that you see there are even not science fiction anymore.  _____ Like I said, we (my brother and me) grew up with this serie, where the whole family; mom, uncles, grandma gathered around the tv to watch The Next Generation and we absolutely loved and learned from it. To this day I’m still watching TNG to grab back a bit of that nostalgic feeling when I’m longing for the past. 🙏🏽❤️
