Kurtis, BRAVO!
I loved it. The colors were so warm and soothing and the art was simple enough for me (A business professional) to appreciate it. I love how the African aesthetic wove its way through the entire collection. It showed the complexity of the African culture and the strength of the African/African-American people. I took the red rose to mean Love. The animal had to reach high to find the Love, but once he found it, he shared the Love. The love surpassed the highs and the lows. A flower is such a delicate object, but throughout the collection the flower was not damaged because...Love is simply Stronger than Pride. Hats off to you my friend.

Wow. I'm completely blown away by the new collection. Ahhh this comes at a time when I'm seriously giving up on love,so the music and images truly blessed me in my melancholy state. When will the collection be available for purchase? I want to purchase something as a gift to myself.

Wonderful job...very moving piece and great presentation of your artwork! You also demonstrate a wonderful gift of timing with your incorporation of music--- probably one of the top love songs in our generation. The video format helped to bring your artwork to life by portraying love and incorporating clever images which coincided with the highs and lows of the song...so kudos to you!

Kurtis,
I'm so sorry my comment is coming to you so late, but I wanted to give your collection the time and thought it deserved. It is so meditative and beautiful and moving. you speak volumes about every emotion with such simple imagery. My favorites are the gorilla and the hippos. I loved the shadow effect that was in the gorilla image (you also used it in some others). All the images just have such presence. The palette was beautiful, minimilist, but modern at the same time with the red from the single rose. The red rose also speaks volumes about the power and effects of a single gesture. I have so much to say about this collection, but this comment is getting lengthy. My comment feels like i'm writing the copy for your website (under description lol). i'm sure you already have someone to do that for you, but if you ever need a copy writer I'd love to help out (i do have a master's in english and writing about art would be a dream job fr me.) so let me know!

Thank you so much for moving and inspiring me. I can't wait to see what is next and to own my own Watkins!! Oh and the part of the video where we saw you working a bit, towards the end, was one of my favorite parts of the movie. I'd love to see a video of your process sometime, like a day in the life of type thing. Beautiful job Kurtis!

Love, Erin

Stronger Than Pride is a great name, but this collection should be called Oxygen. Because this is the art that we need to live. You are an inspiration KW. The blood of your ancestors is in the red, in that rose.

Great job Kurt. I am just starting to appreciate good art as individual pieces but to see this collection so masterfully put together to tell a story has really took my breath. It was a pleasure to view and I would love to own a piece or two.
