Black August - Los Angeles (Paintoem) Black August - Los Angeles is a 2016 Paintoem by the world's most prolific prisoner artist Donald "C-Note" Hooker. In 2016, the prisoner artist created a digital art form called Paintoem. Paintoems are poems inspired by paintings or drawings; or paintings and drawings inspired by poems. They are combined together as a single work of Digital art. All paintoems are classified as a Creative Commons (CC). This means the public has the right to freely use these works as long as the artist or artists are acknowledged. The artwork was inspired by the month long Black August celebrations that were taking place in Los Angeles in 2016. C-Note first heard of these celebrations on Think Outside the Cage, a local independent radio Saturday morning weekly program on Los Angeles's KPFK 90.7 FM. It was his first attempt at Political Art. It makes reference to Beyonce’s Formation; the death of prisoners, and prison reform activists, George Jackson, and Hugo “Yogi” Pinell, who were murdered in prison. The police shooting deaths of unarmed African Americans Michael Brown, and Ezell Ford. These kinds of deaths led to the awakening of America’s consciousness on its criminal justice system, thus prison reform. The California Coalition of Women Prisoners (CCWP), so that the public doesn’t forget the imprisonment of women. The Los Angeles Women’s Center, to bring public consciousness, and hopefully funding, to a place that provides services and refuge to women, most likely from the same environmental milieu as those who have been, or will become imprisoned. The Raised Fist, a symbol of Black Power during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s. Now a symbol of empowerment during any struggle. And “Mundo Sin Jaulas” (A World Without Cages), in recognition of the Brown People’s Movement.

Martin, Malcolm, H.Rap Brown, and George "Martin, Malcolm, H.Rap Brown, and George ," is a part of the "Black August 40th Anniversary by Joedee," a series of works the Compton raised prisoner-artist created in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Black August. Black August started in 1979 as a commemoration of Khatari Gaulden, who was killed the year before on Aug. 1 as a result of medical neglect by San Quentin Prison authorities. Instead of adding Aug. 1 to the existing days of observation that marked the deaths of activists like W.L. Nolen, Alvin Miller, Cleveland Edwards, and George and Jonathan Jackson, the prisoners standing in resistance to the massive California prison-industrial complex declared the whole month to be Black August. While Black August as a month-long in memoriam occurred after the 1978 death of  Khatari Gaulden, it was inspired by the first in memoriam of the August 21, 1971, Death of George Lester Jackson in San Quentin. The artist specifically requested his Series be released on August 21st in memory of George Jackson. #NeoJimCrowArt #BlackAugust #BlackAugustInThePark #GeorgeJackson #SoledadBrother #Revolutionary #SanQuentinPrison #GeorgeLesterJackson #BlackPantherParty #TheSoledadBrothers #georgejackson #restinpower #BA2019 #August21 #soledadbrothers  #blackoakland  #california #losangeles #bloodinmyeye #blackartist #blackart #africa #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #Caribbean #panafrican #blackcommunity #reformalliance https://www.instagram.com/p/B1dQLQSBXDi/?igshid=kgmhlsc904q6
