Abdul Qadim Haqq
Painter & Visual artist
About Me
Abdul Qadim Haqq, also known as AbuQadim Haqq or The Ancient, is an African-American visual artist born in Detroit in 1968. A key figure in Detroit’s techno scene since 1989, he has illustrated iconic record covers for labels such as Metroplex, Transmat, Underground Resistance, and Planet E. As the founder of Third Earth Visual Arts, his work is deeply inspired by science fiction and fantasy, shaped by his childhood love for shows like Speed Racer and Robotech. Suffering from asthma as a child, he spent much of his time indoors, immersing himself in futuristic worlds. He later studied graphic illustration at the College for Creative Studies, graduating in 1991 and dedicating his career to Afrofuturist art.Beyond album covers, Haqq has crafted narratives for Underground Resistance and Drexciya, helping shape their mythologies. His Book of Drexciya, Volume One was recognized by the British Library in London. Exhibited worldwide, his work explores techno as a tool for cultural reinvention and liberation. Today, he focuses on comics and graphic novels, creating visionary Afrofuturist narratives that reimagine the African diaspora’s influence on the future.
