The inclass speaker that i responded the most to was Cedric Michael Cox. Its not so much the visual qualities of his art that appealed to me, but rather the way he built a marketable brand of work from a subject that was relevant to him.
A quote i pulled from one of his pamphlets;
"My work is a spiritual testimony to my experience living in the inner city, and the music and cityscape that subconsciously arouse my senses as I walk down the street to my studio, eager to create the visual rythms that are in my stride."
