Buy it : Garfield When I Die I May Not Go To Heaven I Don’t Know If They Let Cowboys In Shirt

For her Vogue cover, Casteel chose a real person as her subject, fashion designer Aurora James, who made headlines in June with her 15 Garfield When I Die I May Not Go To Heaven I Don’t Know If They Let Cowboys In Shirt Percent Pledge, a campaign to support Black-owned businesses. “I believe that what Aurora is doing is hugely important in creating the long-term change that Black people deserve and this country owes us,” Casteel tells me. (She emailed daily images that showed how the painting was progressing.) “I see her as a light in a lot of darkness, and a potential for hope, a representative of change across all creative industries. What’s most exciting to me is being given artistic integrity and being able to choose the person to be my sitter—someone who reflects a portion of my own identity—and then to do that truly in the medium of my choice. This is the way that I speak to the world. And this is the way I’ve been speaking to the world and talking about the humanity of our people, talking about humanity in general. It’s a really profound experience. I do think I’m participating and a change is happening.”
