![]() The story tells of Basquiat's connection to art and his journey towards becoming an artist. It took five or six years for Steptoe to write the book, which included incorporating new information about Basquiat when it became known. He particularly credits the way his father, Caldecott Honor and Coretta Scott King award-winning artist John Steptoe, introduced him to the concept of considering diversity through the metaphor of windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors. Steptoe also felt a connection through New York and between the art of Basquiat and that of his parents, both of whom were artists. He was drawn to Basquiat by the "energy" of Basquiat's work and a feeling that many in the art world scorn his work and put it down as graffiti. Javaka Steptoe first thought of doing a book on Basquiat following a visit to see an exhibit on the artist at the Brooklyn Museum, whose trash Steptoe would use while illustrating the book.
