Little Marvin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Little Marvin is a New York-based comedian, writer, designer, multimedia & performance artist, filmmaker and producer. His work often satirizes the commodification/appropriation of race and the fetishization of black masculinity in popular culture, couched in a deceptively simplistic, candy-colored Pop Art idiom.
In 2006, he was the executive producer of The Time is Now, a documentary by Kenneth Brady. The film deals with the involvement of the United States in war crimes abroad and the need for a US Truth & Reconciliation Commission to aid survivors of torture.
Little Marvin is a 2007 nominee for the Lambent Fellowship from the Tides Foundation for his performance and multimedia work.
He has been featured in Esquire Magazine's Style Issue,[1] and interviewed in New York Magazine's Video Look Book and DNR Magazine's They Are Wearing: New York.[2]
His debut album, 28 Days Means 28 Ways to Say Happy Black History Month, is expected to be released in the Summer of 2007, and will feature the singles Not Black Enough and Ode to Little Black Johnson. The album will consist of 28 previously unreleased tracks; "...one for every day of the smallest month of the year", according to the artist.
