#OffToMusic

My father (left) and cousin Weenie (right) back in their hip-hop days.

My experience in finding a suitable sponsor is like a track runner jogging on a track; no matter how far he runs, he’s just going in a circle. Because of this, I have am forced to resort to my sure-fire Plan B. My back-up plan was to learn the ins-and-outs of being a music producer, a field that I would love to explore seeing as though I was raised in a music oriented family. My sponsor, who goes by the name Ronnie, is a Grammy nominated singer/song-writer/producer, therefore he is legit. Ronnie is a very close friend of the family; so naturally, he practically accepted my offer for sponsorship the moment it left my mouth. With the help of my sponsor, I intend to learn what it takes to make it in the music business.

#WaterBalloonFight

View Here

You're probebly wondering why me, an aspiring brand maker in the Fashion Industry, chose an article regarding water balloons. 1.) This pictures just might be the most captavating high-speed camera shots I have ever seen. 2.) I truly admire the photographers creativity. and 3.) Amazingly, he did this photo-shoot completley by himself.

In the near future, I, along with partner Rondel, intend to construct a brand ran only by us and a few others. Therefore, I am astonished by these beautiful, independent photos. This photoshoot required a ton of creativity (and even more timing), making it an inspiration to not only me, but to the other up-and-comming creative genuises of the world.

#NoGoogleAllowed

Although, seemingly random, this picture has supreme relevance. Andre the Giant, standing at an unreal 7'4 520 lbs, influenced an enitre brand. OBEY, which happens to be my favorite clothing brand or brand for that matter, revovles solely around Andre the Giant. And although he passed away years ago, Andre's legend lives on at the hands of OBEY.

#DressCold

Due to the inclement weather, I was unable to snap a flickture of the ever-so-intimidating 'Dress Code' poster. So until then, I leave you with the above picture.

When choosing this picture, the thoughts of captivity and restriction ran rampant through my mind. Dress codes are, metaphorically speaking, a lock placed on an individual's unique style, caging them inside a realm of characterlessness. Thus making this picture very relevant, seeing as though, my project is fashion-based.

tAzIs$oArnold!

Never in my years have I witnessed someone more passionate about fashion than Taz Arnold. His unique and distinctive approach to fashion, inspired me to revamp my future clothing line; rather than me creating clothing  based on the trends of the era, I intend to create clothing MY WAY, whether it be loved by all or hated by the masses. Hopefully, this video would be as inspirational to you, as it was to me because I feel as though the world needs more people like Taz Arnold, people who reinvent what it is to be original.

Dante's Inferno

I chose two do two videos for this assignment. My reasoning for this is because I felt as though, together, they perfectly portrayed Dante's feelings for the cause of his secret admiring, Beatrice Portinari. Although, Danted married Gemma, in which he was chosen to be with as a young boy, he possessed a deep love for Beatrice. He only saw Beatrice twice in his life, however he was heart-broken when he learned of her passing.
