As I browsed the internet for pop culture examples of Afrofuturism, I stumbled upon Taneka Word, an artist and writer. This link connects to one of her art exhibits with paintings she has for sale:

She also has a very interesting opinion piece on "Watch the Throne," the album art for Jay-Zs new album.

I didn't want to put her paintings on my blog to make sure I'm not violating copyright laws, but I really encourage you to explore her website, there is some interesting stuff on there!
See my blog, totakerootamongthestars.blogspot.com, for my response.
