Cbabi Bayoc
Cbabi (pronounced Kuh-bob-bi ) Bayoc is an artist living in St. Louis, Missouri. Hiswork has been described as unique, bold, and colorful, while adding some “phunk.” Bayoc, whose given name is Clifford Miskell, Jr., adopted his name CBABI (Creative-Black-Artist-Battling-Ignorance) during his time at Grambling State University. BAYOC (Blessed-African-Youth-Of-Creativity) provided a unique and deep connection that would one day be shared with his children. Cbabi has created artwork for Prince, Muhammad Ali, and Rap Pages magazine, and his murals can be seen all over St. Louis. He is well-known for his 365 Days with Dad series, which paints a positive image of Black fatherhood.
A Black father and son explore the seasons in a yearlong celebration of love of self, community, and creation... A pure ode to nature and sincere Black boy joy.
