New Artist: Woody

So I attended Woody's Listening Party on Thursday, Sept. 16, 2010. I know...I'm late...what can I say...I'm giving you the scoop now! Anyway!!! ;-)

I had a BLAST! It was your FASHION. ART. MUSIC. scene with an OPEN BAR & hor'deurves....don't act like you guys know how to spell it either...spell check missed it too.....LMAO! Woody is a writer/producer and now hip-hop artist. His music reminds me of an upbeat Travie McCoy. I say upbeat because its definitely "Feel Good" Music. He's definitely an artist in his own lane. So be on the look out for him....check him out at: www.atkboyent.com

There was also a talented visual artist from Detroit....My sincere apologies for not being able to relay his name...but here are a few images of his work that were on display.....











And this fellow was definitely best dressed....Let me know your thoughts.....



Stay Tune....

Art in the Eye of a Needle

Okay, I know that it has been quite sometime since my last post, but today is very special. This UK based artist grew up with his personal struggles with written compositions. Meaning, trouble reading and writing has just sold his personally designed art collect for $20 MILLION. Wow, I know right, and to take it another step. . .his collection was constructed from a single grain of SAND. PLEASE CLICK BELOW

HIP HOP: BEFORE THE DOLLAR

A slow, thumping bass fills the air delivering such an impact that one chest becomes the accent drum . . .a sea of bobbing heads . . .a mc spitting thought provoking rhymes to a crowd of starving students, hungry for KNOWLEDGE! Do the math! This is Hip-hop . . . a cultural movement that has surpassed its 1970’s beat boxing beginnings in the streets of New York City reaching supernatural heights in ’88 with Tribe Called Quest, KRS-one, and Rakim. I believe hip-hop is a lifestyle defined by elements of the art, music, fashion, written, and social awareness.

In order to become a successful urban designer one must understand the hip-hop lifestyle. It is through this understanding of style that will deliver the tools necessary to appeal to the urban customer/clientele. I believe that I have what it takes to become the next urban fashion designer because I am passionate and committed to the hip-hop lifestyle. It is my belief, seeing is the gateway to our souls and tapping in that powerful gateway allows us to make dreams reality. In which case it is my goal to “Plan my work, and Work my Plan!” I am creative and discipline, flexible with a clear vision refined by my down to earth personality. When I walk in a room people can feel my passion. Look into my eyes and you will see my passion. When I speak it is my mission to reveal my pre-destined passion to the World. I don’t believe in the negative energies of this world that come in the forms of bad luck, coincidence, or chance. For luck, is when “OPPORTUNITY meets PREPARATION.”

This is an opportunity of a life-time, to reveal to the world my dedicated preparation and passion to become a fashion designer. My ongoing commitment to personal and professional excellence, and my tremendous ability to translate my thoughts and visions into works of art. I am eager to hear a response from all of my supporters/clientele because through this opportunity it is my goal to be an example of my preparation.

STAY TUNED. . .
