Conveniences. Everyone seems to want to do things the easier way. Efficient use of ones time gives one more time to do the things that we want to do. Isn't that what most would agree one as we click the remote control to the television set? We would never think that the very conveniences and amenities that we enjoy are the very things stripping away those elusive joys that we crave in our hearts every... (continue reading)
In this world you will have tough days and then....... .........you have some TOUGH DAYS!!!!! I love this life with all of my heart and pretty much have my own personal system of dealing with the uncomfortable and unanticipated things that life can throw my way but even then, some things just don't play by the rules and SOME things will find a way to seemingly get up under your skin in the worst way no matter...

No matter how hard we try, sometimes we can never forget the excruciating pain of a negative past experience whose memory we have had to endure in our lives. But many would say "why SHOULD we forget? " Well, forgetting might just allow us to find ourselves back in that SAME painful and often powerless situation once again whether it was our fault or not for finding ourselves there in the first place. Remember touching that hot... (continue reading)
Let's get right to the point in this one.......
God has blessed each and every one of us with a special talent to offer the world. Every God given ability may not earn the praises of man as much as others, but each hidden treasure of a talent that's buried deep within us is just as important as any other.

Although his work often forces one to face the many awkward aspects of class, sexism and race relations, he is equally interested in boldly championing the cause of those who feel they have no choice but to endure and accept the many grave injustices in our society.
Born and raised in the Jamaica Queens section of New York City but currently residing in sunny Orlando Florida, the man affectionately known by his ever growing number of loyal fans as "Scurv" draws from the many colorful experiences and unique challenges in his life growing up as an outspoken Black man in the United States of America who has always been known for thinking outside of the box.
More than just the stereotypically "angry guy" with a deep rooted vendetta towards a crooked system full of imagined conspiracies, Scurv shrewdly fuses his tremendously detailed artistic skills, shoot from the hip blogwritings, humorous wit and frighteningly accurate insight on the human condition magically to insure that the viewer completely assimilates the intended madness of a particular expression with no choice but to walk away with a better understanding & appreciation of his often controversial viewpoints.
Even if one refuses to agree with the messages embedded in his work, it must be agreed that Lance Scurvin's creative honesty is a refreshing change in a medium that has failed in its responsibility to challenge the docile thinking of the masses. Whether it be a celebrity, politician, life situation or current event that Mr. Scurvin chooses to focus on in his work, it is almost guaranteed to be what is being discussed passionately in beauty parlors and barber shops all over the land whether the so called mainstream media chooses to acknowledge it or not.

If You Like What You See On My Page & Enjoy It, PLEASE Do Not Forget To Add Me As A Friend!!!! When I was young I was afraid of getting older, but from this vantage point of my soon to be 47 years, I find myself embracing my advancing years like an unexpected gift. And like those Thanksgiving leftovers that are left in the "fridge" a day or two after the holiday, I find that I "taste" so much better to the world as my personal flavors had more time to simmer in the plate of life! I am finally comfortable and confident in my own skin, I know what I like, I savor every situation good and bad as an opportunity for growth, understanding and wisdom, and I can see down many intriguing roads and do not have to travel them because I know the end result and consequences after foolishly traveling them so recklessly in my youth. Thank God He had His protective hand over me, now I can share my misjudgements and poor choices to the world as He has redeemed them as great wisdom! Lance Scurvin's thought of the day, 01-04-2010.

...Now allow me to introduce myself, my name is Lance Scurvin, otherwise known as S.C.U.R.V., an acronym for Style Created from an Urban Revolutionary Voice. I am a 46 year old Jamaican blooded visual activist/urban street missionary born in Harlem & raised in South Jamaica Queens who now resides in sunny Orlando Florida I, as a righteously angry Black man growing up in the New York City urban experience have witnessed many events in my life from a very unique point of view, one that is almost impossible to express through the so called
that will never showcase a talent who doesn't echo their spiritually twisted off base narrow minded delusional condescending schizophrenic & hypocritical perceptions of reality. As an outspoken Afrocentric minded artist, it is very difficult to express yourself fully when the medium that publishes your work has the final say in the finished product Most often literally robbing it of its intended impact & message! I know all too well from experience that it is next to impossible to gain any lucrative acknowledgement from the very oppressors to whom I target in my work as I attempt to enlighten the ignorant & to break the mental chains put on us through an educational system that never will activate the dormant greatness that exists in our mighty Black souls. So I tirelessly ply my trade here on Black Planet out of a love for my people in the darkest recesses of the internet so that you, the viewer, can absorb my offerings direct without fear, apology or compromise! Fearing none but God, I am on a divine and relentless mission to brazenly speak the truth through my creative visuals and explosive words to destroy the dysfunctions and denials of reality that are epidemic in Black communities the world over. Please share this page with your friends and online acquaintances. Read on and let the much needed detoxification, cleansing and reprogramming begin....... My Talents Are God Given & Do Not Belong To Me...... .......So I Have A Responsibilty With All I Have Been Exposed To In This Life To Enlighten Others In My Own Unique Way To The Life Lessons That I Have Learned, Therefore, I Must Say That You Can Freely Use My Work For Your Own Personal Use Only. All I Ask Is That You Give Me The Credit In Whichever Medium That You Are Using It In, Whether It Be Online, In Print Or Broadcasted. Illegal Use In Any Form For Profit Without My Expressed Permission Will Not Be Tolerated. I'm Available For Speaking Engagements & Am Extremely Reasonable For: Corporate Gatherings - Faith Based Organizations - Schools 407 590 0755 Call Anytime For More Information On Scheduling & Fees!
