Welcome to Black Zodiac Prints!
I'm Ryan Downs, a black artist and illustrator based in Austin, Texas.
As the creator of Black Zodiac Prints, I draw each piece entirely by hand using photo references. My goal is to bring to light all of the many inspiring figures in the black community in a unique art noveau style. I draw everything digitally and print locally here in Austin!
Represent your favorite black singer, author, actor or Zodiac sign with a print from Black Zodiac Prints!
The dimensions of each print are a standard 11x14 inches, so frames are easy to find and will fit perfectly on any wall in any room. Prints are printed on durable, heavy Accent Opaque cardstock with a semi-matte finish and vivid colors.
At this time, I am not offering custom orders, custom colors or custom sizes, but I would love to hear from you if you have any suggestions for who is missing from the collection!

5 out of 5 starsThis is gorgeous! Super high quality print that looks even better in person. My frame was a tad too big, so ignore the messy background.

About BlackZodiacPrints
-
Step 1: Exploration Sketch I start by loosely sketching out the figure of the portrait.
-
Step 2: Block Colors Next, I add flat colors, including highlights and shadows.
-
Step 3: Blending & Smoothing I then smooth and blend the colors for cohesion
-
Step 4: Details & Polish To complete the portrait, I add highlights and other artistic touches.
-
Step 5: Finalization Finally, I place the portrait into the drawn back drop and tweak the final product.
Hand drawn portraits of your favorite black artists, musicians, athletes, superheroes and more
I’m Ryan Downs, the artist behind Black Zodiac. I started this series to bridge a gap I discovered in the ethnic representation in astrology. As a fan of the Zodiac, I’ve never been able to find much artwork portraying ethnic characters (fictional or otherwise) in alignment with their signs. I began the Black Zodiac series as a way to bring that artwork I wanted to see into the world, starting with some of my favorite past and contemporary R&B female singers and songwriters. The series is ever expanding to include more black authors, artists, superheroes, leaders, and more.
