[@eileenwatt8283]

I love how Mark introduced himself. That's a man who knows who he is. "I'm originally from Africa born in Montego Bay Jamaica... ". That's profound. He knows Africa is his roots and Jamaica is where those roots spread . His work is beautiful,intense and warm at the same time. I love the black in all his works it's vibrant with the bright colors .

[@Asheroyal12]

💯👊🏿

[@soniaharrison1016]

First time , I have ever heard a Jamaican admit that they are African. We will name every ancestor Irish, Chinese, Syrian, Indian Scots, British, even when it cannot be seen going back even 100 years, they are everything except African. Kudos to you Sir.

[@noeljames1254]

I thought I was only one of the few Jamaicans who identified myself as African first before anything else. I absolutely love how he introduced himself. His art is simply magnificent. I am gifted in art as well. I lost interest in it to doing sports instead.

[@jaylucas8352]

He’s really great. I hope more people see how good his art is and buy it. Very talented

[@blanchjames4255]

Deep!

[@brooneil1632]

What an intelligent man that keep his culture, language and Jamaican vibes.

[@darrenwilliams5460]

Irene and Mark, first time in my life I had to pull-up a video like a dancehall selector. Lol. This video going to scratch like a broken record.

[@gdonson4440]

Irene I appreciate you finding highly intelligent and talented Jamaicans and showing them to the world

[@blewdraaz1057]

Many of us are and are not

[@ricardochong6834]

I once watched a young lady in Australia painting on KZbin. Partway, I saw her seemingly demolish a part of what she had and I was saying to myself, "No, no, no you're going to butcher it", but as she continued, the result was far better than what was there before. I told her that in a comment. She replied that she used to think the same way, but "you have to trust the process". And I just heard Mark say those same word, "you have to trust the process". Whatever comes, comes without intent. I also believe in his sentiment about over intellectualizing. So very true. But in regards to value, there are two kinds. The emotional value is yours and the price is yours. The market value is whatever the customer will pay, not what you want. This is why prices at auctions can be bumped up so much. You want $1, but somebody sees a value of $10 only to get beat by someone else who sees a value of $1,000. Just like houses, what the highest bidder will pay is what the market price is. Thank you so much, Irina, for another wonderful and educational video. Great stuff.

[@noelducran6730]

Excellent interview!

[@cmariebarnes8228]

[@TheNotoriousKID]

His brutal honesty is a huge part of what makes him and his art so special.

[@rickygenius]

Mark is one of the most intelligent persons I've ever met and I have known him since high school. It's no surprise that his art is different and so compelling

[@jaylucas8352]

Yes, he seems very cool

[@CurtisCT]

What a VERY FINE interview! The beautifully manicured park, the eloquence and profound wisdom of Mark Anthony Hill, the excellent questions - this was almost too grand for us mere mortals. I can't say thank you enough for introducing me to this brilliant artist. What a treasure!

[@ricksanchez9232]

This brother is deep, a true artist. I hope to hear great things about him.

[@lionheartedgal]

The world has been waiting for this artist. Brilliant mind. Uncomparable excellence! Beautifully done interview.

[@jaylucas8352]

Yes, very powerful art, I’d like to see more people recognize his creations

[@TheWatcher876]

Thank you Irie !!! This is the kind of quality that's missing from local media and they will never admit it 💯💯

[@kathleengusmerotti8781]

Thank you Irena. This gentleman was so captivating! I learned a lot from him.👍💯🇯🇲🇺🇲

[@charlesjames1464]

A Great Jamaican ARTIST..

[@AcheliusDecimus]

His work seems to lift off the canvas, and that is a testament to true artistry.

[@dianawaysome]

🇨🇦 in the house as a Jamaican living overseas this is very informative for me and what a great artist

[@kattahb4103]

Just expanded my educational understanding of art from a Yaadman. Awesome!

[@blessedAfrikan217]

Respect my brother for that introduction. We are first Africans, that was born outside the continent. They will never take away our Africaness.

[@bounty125th7]

This is by far the best Art/Artist interview I have ever seen... Not even knowing the Teacher & or Artist... But he is so articulate in his explanation of everything he has experienced & his views of Picasso & his art... It's Bananas... Great Interview... as I am an artist myself... This dude helped me understand things about my damn self... Tee Hee

[@warriorchild2521]

SO TRUE!❤👍🏽

[@afrochic68]

Truth… I love the fact that… the idea for any piece just evolves and you have to trust in the process… this is what have been doing… not painting but drawing… with no plan… and it is freeing and I don’t know why I create what I create…

[@graemelliott3942]

He is right on! All art influences or steals from other art. Race has nothing to do with it but cultural and political influence does.

[@DiezelUp1876]

Blessings Spoon. You was a force on the football field with that foot. Now you are a force in the art world. So proud of you bro. Keep doing your thing.

[@HumanMrs]

This is a gorgeous and deeply nuanced interview... like a work of art. Many thanks!

[@gracetennant4982]

Love this! Wish I could own a peice of his art.

[@elizabethhall1527]

Thank you, Irina, for showcasing this young artist. I enjoyed watching this interview. I think both Mr Hill and his teacher, Mr Clarke, are themselves a piece of art. Both are unique in their style(dress) and thoughts.(reasoning).That to me is also art. I hope there are more teachers like Mr Clarke in the schools today. Love the fact that Mr Hill has shown much appreciation for all the people who were influential in his life. For aspiring youngsters ,he has painted the picture on how to get there. Hard work, determination, sacrifice, and love for whatever it is that he/she wants to achieve. I hope all the kids in the schools watch this video and get motivated.

[@MrFyahwyah]

Bless you brother

[@ChrisWilliams-le1we]

This man is brilliant I am glad for him 99 percent of Jamaican s do not have his mindset. Thus is refreshing. We Jamaicans are narrow minded a lot of us and love money to the point of mental sickness. I am glad there are a few real deep thoughtful Jamaicans left. Thank you brother and the sister for bringing him to the world!! God bless you both.

[@marianmckennon7672]

OMG! Mr Hill, you are a perfect example of Joseph Campbell's words. " There will come a time when your true self will emerge." Can't wait to see ur work. 💓

[@doxcb4717]

What i receive from this interview is that Mr Mark Anthony Hill was taken out of Africa but Africa never left him and Picasso would never have been who he was without stealing the African work and never gave credit

[@MD_ENTERTAINMENT]

I always wondered what happened to him after school boy football. He scored one of the most memorable goals in school boy football at Jarrett Park. Some people may not remember him now but his nickname was Sonyspoon

[@claudettecrawford3550]

I know this young man since he was a little boy and I'm feeling honored to know him,im so proud of him and I'm not surprised because he's was a very intelligent kid with lots of manners and curiosity, u go junior.

Hi Irena. I have been following you for a while now. And I love what you are doing for Jamaica and Jamaicans. I hope to meet you and your family some day. I'm form St James but I'm overseas right now. Keep up the good work. GOD bless

[@robertlussier2944]

I think his mastery of the cubist style shows his deep connection with his African roots. A very interesting story, Irie. Thanks for bringing it to us.

Excellent interview. He is a phenomenal and extremely talented artist. I keep telling people, that teachers are extremely how powerful. They can make or break a student. They can inspire them to become the greatest talents in life. Congratulations on a job well done to this artist, and a big Thank you to his art teacher from Cornwall College High school in Montego Bay, Mr. Clyde Clarke for inspiring him and encouraging him to be his utmost best.

[@Raven1180]

This has to be one of the most intriguing and intellectual videos I have seen and I'm not saying this from a stand point of an unlearned person. Wonderful rich commentary and such a history that escapes many. Thank you Irie and may the Most High Father continue to be with Mark Anthiny.

[@mkdubose]

Great talk! I would disagree on the artist's statement that provenance determines the quality of the art, but it does in fact determine the value.

[@Makonen442]

Provenance . A record of ownership of a work of art or an antique, used as a guide to authenticity or quality. plural noun: (provenances). Mark Anthony Hill is right.

[@topformwear]

Love is energy. he's got great things ahead more of this interview . I love how he put in the hard work to achieve his goals

Absolutely brilliant interview , a gem .

[@denwill1648]

Didn't think for a second that I would be able to spend this much time listening to an artist speak. Well done. I found out I had a great talent for drawing at 5 yrs. young. Everyone showered me with praises for my talent to this day but not 1 person told me that I could become an Artist. Until I became a Musician.

Great interview, I watched this with alot of emotions, because I was an aspiring artist who never got to persue art as a career. I can't run from art and creativity though because I now bake and decorate cakes and other pastries and I still have a passion for art. This is inspiring and I love the way he answered each question. 💛

[@janicemorris3444]

This is what Jamaican men should be like ambitous, hard working and we used to have these men now we are filled with thugs and criminals. The sad thing is this man may become the envy of many and extorted without them knowing his days of sacrifice

[@trevorsteer7331]

Jamaica still has WAY MORE Decent, Upstanding and Honest People (Men and Women) than we have "Thugs and Criminals". The "problem" is, THOSE PEOPLE are NOT "showcased" because for some reason, it seems as if we only need to "showcase the bad". Obviously, MOST Jamaicans are NOT like Mr. Anthony Hill, who has EXELLED in Life and his Art; then again, most people in this WORLD are not like him. Now, that is not to say, other Jamaicans shouldn't try to emulate him (and other Successful Jamaicans); but to imply that Jamaica no longer have "men" (or "women") who are NOT ambitious and hardworking, is OVERLOOKING a SIGNIFICANT portion of our Population. Why do we need to resort to "worst case scenarios" for "everything"?

[@janicemorris3444]

@@trevorsteer7331 Why don't you start showcasing those people who are good and let's see if they outdo the bad I do await for that. The same way Irene come to Jamaica and discover all those great places and people let's start putting out the good things about Jamaica and maybe the bad people will realize that they're outnumbered and resort to the good let's try it. I do wish to see the decent ,uncorrupt politicians, police, lawyers, judges That you can showcase. look at the clansman trial that is in progress. tell me when we expect a judge to make good judgment, he has betrayed us. He is promoting criminality like the 80% of our population. Listen to Politricks Watch, PNL, JBNN and True Buzz and see where we are as a country. Please compare our murder rate, robbery in comparison to other countries our size and population. Please start sharing the good of our people like Ghana and Malawi (one of the poorest African countries) with lower crime rate than us.

[@trevorsteer7331]

@@janicemorris3444 , Actually, I do showcase Positive Jamaicans and Jamaica, every time I bring NEW people to Jamaica and show them places and people that are NOT "touristy"...so they get to meet "Every Day" Honest and Hardworking Jamaicans. I do that when I post about my trips to Jamaica and show the Awesome people I grew up around who still live and work there. I do that EVERY TIME I talk about how AWESEOME Jamaica and its PEOPLE are. I don't have a You Tube Channel to do what Irina does...but I am SO GLAD she moved to Jamaica to do what she is doing (one of the Reasons I am a Top Tier Patreon of "Jamaica With Irie"). I am also GLAD to see other You Tubers posting Positively about Jamaica.. But I do what I can to show that Jamaica is NOT all about "Thugs and Criminals". And that is why "I" get annoyed when others make it seem as if that is ALL my Home Country is all about. I was born and raised in St. Ann, but also lived in several areas of Kingston. I live in the USA now, but go back home quite often...and one day my "dream" is to move back home....even if I can't do that Full Time, I hope I can do it Part Time. Yes, there are "bad elements" (people) in Jamaica, just like EVERYWHERE else in the WORLD; but the PEOPLE as a WHOLE are SO MUCH MORE than those "Bad Elements". Maybe if MORE Jamaicans start talking about the GOOD People, others won't think we are MOSTLY "BAD". In my 57 Years, here's one thing I have learned about MANY Jamaicans that I know personally....they have NEVER experienced Crime....yet they talk about it as if they are LIVING IT EVERY DAY....simply because of what they hear on the News.

[@mathstar4176]

What Mark says about the use of black is right. It's not considered a color in art school, neither is white actually. We are told we can mix black, 3/4 dark blue a little red and a pinch of yellow. However Picasso used black lines straight from the tube to contour his shapes. So buy a black tube as well with the other colours.
