Looks awesome! I think the suit material in the source photos is thinner than suit material now; in the photos, it draped differently than contemporary suits. At any rate, I think the tailoring on this looks great
Looks awesome! Suit is much better than the original prototype“I had just moved to Harlem. It was the first night I was there, and I went for a walk and there was a rally going on. Of course, I had heard about Malcolm before that, but it was mostly the kind of negative things they were running about him in the press then. I felt as if I was hearing the truth. I had never heard anyone speak with such clarity and forcefulness. And he just stimulated me. I found if he mentioned a book or a magazine article, I would try to find it. You hear people use that cliche about the University of the Streets. It really was that.” - A. Peter Bailey,

And to all of you who have supported this project so far, I appreciate your continued patience. I’m doing my best to ensure this is one of the most valued pieces of art in your collection.
Lastly, the version displayed in these photos was painted by Moon.

Please pardon the delayed response. The run was ordered 2 months ago. Yunsil said she would be working towards fulfilling it in February so I’ll update you guys as soon as she sends me a message.Any update on this project?
Unfortunately all of those are sold out.Can I just get Jacob's version then?
Actually I would prefer a refund...Unfortunately, Hongmoon Noh will no longer be a part of the Malcolm X project. Initially, after the marvelous prototype was unveiled, he told me he needed sufficient time to finish the rest. But after a spell of 4 months with zero communication, despite numerous attempts to contact him, I started to get very alarmed. Then, he finally responded, apologized, and said it was due to health issues, in addition to having to move his workspace to another location. He then asked me to grant him more time to complete his end of the agreement.
Regrettably, after waiting and waiting and granting him more time, he just couldn’t do it. He told me his career, as a painter, has come to an end. I am extremely disappointed, but I can’t force anyone to work. I think he does exceptional work, both as a painter and caster, but we have no choice other than to move on now. I’m gutted about the news, but I truly exhausted all efforts.
I have attached a piece of our conversation so that everyone can see what happened.
Even after this, he stated if he was granted more time then he would be able to finish it. And so I gave him the benefit of the doubt, once again, in an attempt to salvage the project’s continuity. However, today was my final deadline and I couldn’t accept any more delays.
Therefore, in light of the disheartening news, I am forced to get another painter to complete the project (while we wait for the suits to be delivered and a few accessories to be completed) I have three in mind;
@Kaistudio2017
@BlackWhite_the_painter (a prototype will be released soon, as a head sculpt is already in his possession)
@ZakiWoo
However, I am open to whatever you guys want.
*Please note, this does not affect those of you who secured Jacob’s version. Those heads have long been painted.
I sincerely apologize to those affected. I still can’t believe this happened. Please let me know what you gentlemen prefer.
And, as always, you can contact me directly on Instagram @TreasuresOfTheSixthScale or Facebook - Marcus Grail.
I do not participate on Facebook, but whoever you choose to replace the other painter will be fine by mePlease join the FB group so we can discuss this further
