Inspired by the phenomenal movie Sinners written by Ryan Coogler, this painting captures the characters Smoke, Stack, and Sammie. These three stood out to me because Smoke and Stack felt like representations of Sammie’s consciousness — like the old cartoons with a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. It’s the daily battle between the path others expect you to take and the purpose you were always meant to fulfill.

This is a 1-of-1 original painting, created with acrylic on 12x16 inch unstretched canvas. Best displayed framed, this piece is monumental — completed within the first seven days of the film’s release. With Sinners receiving a rare 100% rating on IMDb, this artwork holds historic value. It would make a powerful and collectible addition next to your movie ticket or memorabilia, marking a moment in film and art history.
