James Baldwin Perler Bead

After much putting off I made this James Baldwin design the last two days.

James Arthur Baldwin (August 2, 1924 – December 1, 1987) was an American writer and civil rights activist who garnered acclaim for his essays, novels, plays, and poems. His 1953 novel Go Tell It on the Mountain has been ranked by Time magazine as one of the top 100 English-language novels. His 1955 essay collection Notes of a Native Son helped establish his reputation as a voice for human equality. His 1965 debate with William Buckley is regarded as one of the most influential debates on Race. Baldwin was an influential public figure and orator, especially during the civil rights movement in the United States.

Wonder Woman/Batman Perler Bead

I randomly thought of this comic cover and figured I would make it but small. It's the cover of Wonder Woman The Hiketeia. JG Jones did the art and it looks great.

Transformers Logo Perler Beads

I made these a couple of weeks ago for someone at work whose daughter wanted them. Took about 15 minutes to do.

Octavia Butler Parable Of The Sower Perler Bead

There is an upcoming art show and I made this as something I want involved in it. This image depicts Lauren Olamina and astronaut Alicia Catalina Godinez Leal from the book Parable Of The Sower. The image used was based of an AI prompt using the same program I use for my Pixlr images.

Angela Bassett Perler Bead

I made this Angela Bassett because I wanted my wall to be even Blacker. 

Abraham Lincoln Perler Bead

I saw this image of Abraham Lincoln with headphones frowning in someone's comment online and liked the picture enough to make this.

Lupita N'yongo Perler Bead

I tried working with a smaller design for her and realized that a tiny one did not do her justice. There are so many awesome hairstyles she has had and I knew I would be using one of them in whatever I made. I really like how this came out.

Angelina Jolie Hackers Perler Bead

Did this a few days back. Love the movie Hackers and thought that Jolie was the hottest woman in the world at that time.

Made this black lion from Voltron last week and for some reason am just now posting it. I am retiring from making anymore Voltron stuff. Click it in the tags. Its been quite a few.

Made this Kobe Bryant vs Michael Jordan after watching an interview about a game they played against one another. 

Baby Owl Perler Bead

Made this baby owl for my friends mama based off a sprite found online and changed colors. 

Marvel Heads Perler Beads

The last couple of days I decided to make some more heads based off of Marvel Comics characters. I pretty much went with whatever color I had a lot of.

Mr. Rogers Turntable Perler Bead

Last week I made this Mr. Rogers at the turntables design based off of a t-shirt whose link disappeared. Weird. This will end up on some kind of canvas. If this is your design please leave a comment or something.

My friend that has every single Prince design I've ever done requested his last passport photo as a design. It was over 5,000 black ones just for his hair!

Baseball Furies Warriors Perler Bead

I loved The Warriors as a kid and still do. My favorite gang were the Baseball Furies so I wanted to make a design based off of the main one.

This week I made this They Live poster out of beads and I really like it!

Mini Sinners Perler Beads

Made these the other day. Based off of posters for the movie Sinners. 

Dry Bowser Perler Bead

I wish there was another name I could use since I don't use Perler brand beads anymore. Made this Dry Bowser cause I had a lot of extra grey beads.

Aaliyah Perler Bead

Made this design of Aaliyah this week after my lady showed me a video a few weeks ago.

Metal Mario Perler Bead

I randomly wanted to make a Metal Mario design. I looked at what other folks made to be sure that I wasn't copying or anything and all I saw were small ones that just made Mario sprites from other games but grey.
