Cbabi Bayoc
VISUAL ARTS MASTER CLASS ARTIST
Cbabi Bayoc is a visual artist and illustrator residing in St. Louis, Missouri. His subjects include family, children, music, and a bunch of other cool stuff designed with line, bold color and phunk! CBABI adopted his name (Creative-Black-Artist-Battling-Ignorance) during his time at Grambling State University (’92-‘95). In 1997, his wife assisted in deciding their last name BAYOC (Blessed-African-Youth-Of-Creativity) as something that could be shared with their future children. In 2012, Bayoc began his 365 Days with Dad series. This New Year’s resolution to pain positive images of black fatherhood each day for the entire year resulted in a journey that was inspiring (and exhausting!), but ultimately resulting in the sharing of many stories of good experiences, no experience, and hopeful experiences of Dads of all life stages. The project started a dialogue within the community about the importance of a strong foundation and support system for all children, no matter the age.
