M2 Bob Marley Songs of Freedom Spring/Summer Sketches

Swimwear

Hey, how are you all doing? I’m indeed still dealing with some issues but wanted to share some sketches inspired by my Bob Marley “Songs of Freedom” painting done years ago. You can donate to the blog and the line here. Looking do some crowdfunding and give you a sneak peek on my freelance fashion journey. A lot of people love Bob Marley, have you seen the movie that came out not too long ago?

What do you think of these sketches? If you like one, please use the contact form and let me know. It was recently Miami Swim Week and it’s been really hot in Florida. I sketched some swimsuits (above) and included the view from the back (below). It’s the summer and no matter what bikini body you have, one of these would probably look great on you. I also had sketched some Spring leather pieces with pink and blue feathers as it still is a little chilly in the Spring/Summer in some spots. What’s your favorite? Tell me in the comments below.

Mama Tina Knowles’ Matriarch New Book

Good morning, how are you doing? I am still going through it. Supposedly, people have been trying to help me so that I am not “at war.” I heard that I actually am allegedly a Queen. But, in any case, I have been trying to deal with the problem as best as I can. 

Anyway, I recently got a copy of my Mama Tina Knowles’ new book Matriarch and am very excited to start reading it. She’s done so much in fashion, art and entertainment. Her Wearable Art Gala and Waco Theatre art gallery are right in line with some of my work and quite inspirational.

I can’t wait to grab some coffee in my Bougainvilleas on a Sunday Tall Coffee Mug and continue reading. Have you gotten a copy?

Sincerely,

“The Cosmos” Sketch

The Cosmos, Malinda Knowles 2025

Hey, how have you been? I have been hammed up but recently created a sketch reflecting outer space. I call it “The Cosmos” as part of me wonders about the stars and outer space. They say the universe is “unfolding as it should” but sometimes things are so bad that it makes me wonder. If you could fly to another universe, would you?

Blast from the Past: Modeling History

Hey everyone, how have you been? I’ll be honest, I have really been going through it. Trying to deal with decisions that were made by men that may or may not have much to do with me. Also, dealing with the good ol American government and police. I know it sounds crazy but it’s the truth.

Anyway, I came across some old photos recently and thought I might share. I indeed studied International Relations at Tufts University and was also scouted for a modeling and acting career. I actually had applied to be a fashion buyer in New York but went into finance and kept trying to build my modeling portfolio. I did a lingerie show for Show Magazine at a New Year’s Eve party in Miami. And I also was a roller skate girl for one of Diddy’s albums in New York.

So, here I am now blogging about fashion and art, and thought I might throw it back. I believe there’s more and one of these days maybe a book or movie on my crazy life will come out. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Greetings to you from sunny South Florida! Wanted to wish you guys a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Yesterday I went to church in my Ralph Lauren gold metallic skirt, JW Anderson flats and my Karl Lagerfeld handbag. We didn’t get any lights up on the house but we did get a Christmas tree, and it’s perfect. What are you doing for the Holidays?

 

Sincerely,
