FOR HUMANITY! FOR THE NūHUMAN!

January 01, 2026 / William Burrell Philpot IV

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOURSELF…

TO CHANGE THE RESULTS.

The results being your life and reality.

Art is and will always be a fundamental aspect of who and what we are as humans. The ability to think critically and creatively. Ai can only become a tool of doom and gloom if we allow it. It makes no sense to think of ourselves smaller than what we actually are and though it may sound arrogant, each individual life has value because we are the purest manifestation of living conscientious consciousness that we now of. Not that we sit above any other creature but no other creature can create as well as destroy as we do. It’s just about…choice.

The above video was done in Leonardo.ai and serves only as a guidance image to what we want to and strive to create. We believe that Black and Brown communities tremendously serve to our own detriment because of the long-standing conditioning and shaping of our communities, families, educational systems and entertainment. We serve more to dismantle what the ancestors worked so hard for us to have…and have stripped away. We have been the agenda all a long as to prove that we were, are not and will not be worthy of what we claim to want so very much.

Whether it’s Ai or Pen and Paper, LIAM IAN™ is dedicated to trying to reposition and redefine our potential for the future by turning away and letting go of the baggage that has kept us running in place.

WE’RE WELCOMING 2026 IN PATIENTLY AND QUIETLY TO HOPEFULLY DEVELOP PRODUCTS OF MEANING AND IMPACT.

It really is about Intelligence. It really is about Ethnicity. It really is abut Innovation…because this just isn’t our right, our plight or our fight, it is who we are…and perhaps we’ve forgotten this. Forgotten so so very much.

“RED CLAY” also referred to as “BLACK BLOOD”

“BLACK BRILLIANCE” - The initial artistic work to initiate the overall Black Brilliance Project. Multilayered with hidden messaging and elements, this piece symbolizes the blood and spirit of Black and Brown People. Existing within a dimension that serves as a foundation for wealth, culture, art, language, civilization, the blood of Black and Brown people have been spilled enough to have become the clay of the world. Having returned to the earth, enough blood of People of Color have become the dominant obsession of many. As the clay—the foundation—of the existing world, nothing exists without it.

Being of substantial worth and worthiness of some of the most precious natural aspects and resources of the world, Black and Brown People have become the most important aspects of course. As societies and entities and individuals exhaust time, effort and energy to manipulate and create conditions of control for them, this proves more and more that the existence and presence of Black and Brown People has a substantial if not powerful impact.

Developed and thoughtfully designed to incorporate and represent visual aesthetics of Ethnic Peoples, Black and Brown and African Americans, this piece thru abstraction works to imply the full taste of the air, the unconscious color of reality—dangerous and illuminating, thick and heavy and saturating—for the Urban Person of Color. With the textured brown block representing the delicate yet nuance presence of Black (and Brown) individuals, identities, cultures, civilizations, and societies, the heavy gold stroke off to the side represents the true wealth manifested and running parallel yet as byproduct to their existence. Something like exhaust, the collective structure of Black and Brown People emits value, worth and wealth.

Post-review and assessment statement:

Our effort is to appreciate, encourage and inspire Black and Brown People. Our intention and hope are that this piece will encourage People of Color to remember all the blood spilled and lives lost for this world as it is today. Thru that remembrance and acknowledgement with detail or not, they might reshape their paradigms of the world built and existing around them. Let them be forever fueled by a subtle rage-like intent to act with authority, confidence and patient long-lasting power each and every day forever to progress and do greater and greater things.

As an element of the overall “BLACK BRILLIANCE” project, this piece also helps to symbolize and establish values and principles of The NūHUMAN Project. Appreciation, Celebration and Inspiration of those People of Color that came before helping to shape and instill strong qualities of Intellectual confidence, Ethnic pride and acts of Innovation to survive, endure and progress within extremely hard and complicated times are the primary agendas, visions and missions.

As our Art, Design and Photography Products are to represent, encourage and inspire Black and Brown and African American communities, individuals and identities, we’re staying active in trying to align and connect our different projects together.

“BLACK BRILLIANCE” - The initial artistic work to initiate the overall Black Brilliance Project. Multilayered with hidden messaging and elements, this piece symbolizes the spirit of Black and Brown People being worth and worthy of some of the most precious natural aspects of this world, Silvers and Golds. Developed and thoughtfully designed to incorporate the names of impressionable Black and Brown and African American figures, this piece incorporates an abstract urban aesthetic with the overlapping metallic silver, bronze and gold colors covering the deeper messages; the names of notable individuals.

While the process took some time to get the colors and the overall design and composition correct and true to the general intention, a reluctance in adding anymore elements was experienced because of the beauty of the piece to this point. With a few layers of paint, this piece has a bit of weight and therefore stands as the first “fine art” piece to be done by Liam Ian Black and owned by LIAM IAN LLC™.

As an element of the overall “BLACK BRILLIANCE” project, this piece also helps to symbolize and establish values and principles of The NūHUMAN Project. Appreciation, Celebration and Inspiration of those People of Color that came before helping to shape and instill strong qualities of Intellectual confidence, Ethnic pride and acts of Innovation to survive, endure and progress within extremely hard and complicated times are the primary agendas, visions and missions.

CONTINUING WITH "BLACK BRILLIANCE".

April 22, 2025 / William Burrell Philpot IV

As we further our creative activities within THE 2025 DESIGN QUARTER, we’re still engaging our Custom IP Project “Black Brilliance”.

“The Message” - Acrylic Paint on Arches Oil Paper. *“Beyond Black, Brilliant!”*

Maintaining activities within this project, we’re continuing to develop Canva Paint, Sketch and other hand-made projects as well as new Design projects. Having this project featured as a key component of this year’s theme of “Change. Art. Social Justice.” we’re striving to keep the creativity consistent and aligned across mediums and genres.

The concepts of our art are based upon Abstract Minimalism. Mixed with African American, African, Native American and Hispanic spiritual and cultural influences, we’re attempting to develop works for content and social media as well as environmental aesthetic and apparel products.

Are you an Artist looking for more support, networks and exposure? Well we’re looking for you! I’m looking for you!

While we’re working to develop and bring custom products to market, we’re also looking to further build out our own local community Arts Group.

Share ideas and opportunities and work to boost others up, we believe in the opportunities to create a new space for creatives and visual artists. Representing Communities of Color, Ethnicity and Culture, we want to add to the tapestry of the local DC areas the hidden gems that are the artists that have yet to be discovered.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

CELEBRATING BLACK MOTHERS THIS MOTHER’S DAY!

Tirelessly a part of the community that has truly made America, we’ve come to understand and appreciate the role of Black Women across the board.

Enduring the situations and circumstance that were and were byproducts of slavery, this shirt goes directly to the heart of the matter by addressing those that matter most. Black Mothers have given their fair share and beyond only to still see stress, struggle and strife within their communities and homes. Sometimes even the stress, struggle and strive may exist within leading to depressions, dysfunctions and other forms that do more harm than good.

Thru this JusTHOUGHTS™ product, we not just thinking, we’re saying our truth and how we truly feel; BLACK MOTHERS MATTER!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

MOTIVATION & ART. ART & MOTIVATION.

March 17, 2024 / William Burrell Philpot IV

We’ve seen a lot! I’ve seen a lot. I’ve seen a lot in this life and I still have a ways to go. At the age of 43, I’ve gotten a lot of experience in dealing with my people in the Hood, in the Middle Class and even some that live some pretty “Elite” and high-end lifestyles. Ranging from Southeast DC to Tysons Corner, Virginia to PG County, MD to Potomac, MD, I’ve had the unique opportunity to engage and assist folks who have had the common trait of entrepreneurial ambition within them. As I look back on all of those situations and circumstances, the other commonality was that they saw value in me. It wasn’t a hard task for me to focus and accelerate ideas and plans on my creative pursuits but moving back into the position of a Coach and Consultant is now where my eyes reside.

As an Artist, I know what it’s like to encounter and endure obstacles. I know that there are a number of obstacles that can often keep us from moving forward and that hinderance can last for some time. I’ve come to the understanding that Art is dependent on another form of Art; Motivation. The Art of Motivation is such because one must learn methods and ways to be effective within the project and process getting up and getting things done. Sometimes it’s not even about getting things done but more so in being energized and encouraged. Encouraged and energized to DO. To just do.

With the perceptives, paradigms, thoughts, ideas and concepts of Coaching and Consulting with others, I’ve begun to integrate them within what I create because of how I create. Leaving out or aside the confines of religion, my Spirituality as African American Man is key and fundamental to all that I create. Purpose. Meaning. Vision. Mission. Integrity. Value and Worth. These are the priorities and most concerning factors to what and why I create. My art—our art—is often done with a dedication to People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture in America than abroad. The motivation here is purely to DO because once this existence is over it’s all done.

THE MESSAGE

Whether it be my Art, Design work, Photography, Coaching, Appreciation or Support of others, my message of motivation is quite plain and simple; Just do! Do because no one else will do—nor can do—as you do. Your engagement of the world is essential because it is the necessary outcome of your existence and presence. You are worth it! You are worth it all—it ALL! You are worth it…even if you are the only one who feels it. It starts with you!

THE MOTIVATION BOOK

The Motivation Book is a Custom IP Project to Appreciate, Encourage and Inspire Black and Brown People, African Americans and People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. This book is to contain positive messaging and imagery that will go the way of doing what needs to be done in abundance for these groups today and into the future. Proposed to be completed in Spring of 2024, this book will further convey our thoughts and Ideas on Black & African American Progression, Development and Success. Stay tuned!
