Old But Still Relevant!!

        Erykah Badu was charged with a $500 dollar fine on April 1 (fools day) for indecent exposure in the making of her video "Window Seat". The video was shot raw with no crew and of course no permits for public exposure. Erykah choose a prime Dallas historical location to make a bold statement and to my interpretation televise the revolution. This video captures Erykah walking down the streets on Dallas removing her close until only her bare human body is showing. As soon as the last piece of clothing is removed she is shot in the head falling near the same grassy knoll where President Kennedy was shot in 1963. Letters soon come puring out her head as if they where blood to spell out "Groupthink". You then hear Erykahs voice say "They who play it safe, are quick to assassinate what they don't understand .They move in packs, ingesting more and more fear with every act of hate on one another. They feel more comfortable in groups, less guilt to swallow. They are us. This is what we have become, afraid to respect individual." The video was taken down on all sites except Kanye West Blog.  If you have yet to see it please check it out. My question to you is do you think that Dallas Police/ Our government fined her for "Indecent Exposure" or because she is dropping knowledge onto our people with disregard to what punishment they may give her? I see people walking down Skid Row everyday half naked, with rotten black feet, missing teeth and sometimes even pissing on the street like a dog. I see cop cars drive by them and just wait for them to die. So why aren't they fined? Is it because they have no knowledge to give us? Is because they don't have money to even give them? Or is it because they are exactly where they what us to be relying on our government to "save us". They have no hopes, no expectations other then waiting in line to receive soup, bread and occasionally some clothes. Erykah tweeted "They are not trying to lock me up for nudity, They want me cause I am awake." Be awake people! Do your research, learn about what is hidden from you, respect your brothers and sisters, help them, Live Life and Be Conscious!

Saturday was National Pillow Fight Day and hundreds of people showed up in Downtown LA's Pershing Square for a major feathery quit invigorating beat down! The biggest challenge of the event was deciding if I should Shoot or Fight. The irony of the who debate was quit funny but at the end of the day I decided to capture the moment and keep it forever with a couple of shots to the head.

Just Some Visual Brain Food....




My Groovy IsssSSHHH






Putting it in the Air!!!

OK so you know how every now and then you feel so strongly about a topic that you just have to air it out. Well this is my moment.............

I'm a huge Hip Hop fan and as a Hip Hop fan I have had to go through A LOT of transitions and attempts to accept this new direction money has made our new age "MC's" go in. I refuse to accept the fact that Lauryn Hill will not one day come back to the game and miraculously heal it. I also can not accept Soulja Boy and him changing his name officially to Soulja Boy Tell 'Em. Now I have accepted everyone jacking "LIL" from Lil Kim (who should be getting royalties for that!) but now I am fed up and convinced that these new "MC's" have lost alllllllll their creativity. Allow me to introduce you to Waka Floka. REALLY????!!!!!???? WAKA FLOKA. Is that a new dish at Mr.Chang's? I'm confused. Oh no wait don't get too excited it gets worse. Just check out his amazing biography on Wikipedia Waka Flocka Fame and tell me what you think. I'm disgusted. Back to real ART!

Woof that felt better!

Black & White

Well Hello! This post is dedicated to one pair of shoes that I NEED in my life and I'm just trying to justify the whopping price of $475. I mean what is a fashionista to do without these. I honestly feel like I will have a better career and be a more recognized designer if I had these. Its like how when Biggie had his Versace shades on they made the world automatically demand respect. That's how I feel about these. They would be a staple in my collection FOREVER. Think I have to do it! Ouch
I am ADDICTED, OBSESSED and NEED these in my life. SERIOUSLY!

Could not do a Black and White post without him. Check out his site its amazing!!!!Tim Burton

Wud up world! I am so excited to share my latest collaboration with you. I teamed up with The Billionaire PA to bring his 365 quotes to life! The first design was "GOD'S on my team, Who's on yours?" This project means a lot to me because I am finally able to spread the power of GOD through the talent he blessed me with. The t-shirts are GREAT quality and come in various colors for $25. If you would like to support this positive movement you can purchase your t-shirts and view more pics at  The Billionaire PA on Facebook.  Oh and send me some pics of your rocking it so I can post them! Now can I get an AMEN!
