Love is Light

2009-05-13T21:59:00.000-07:00

In these extraordinary times we are in need of extraordinary people. Shout out to my man Matthew Abaya for inspiring me this past month on the creative tip. And to the youth I've encountered recently, stay up and keep doing the right things. And to all people sharing themselves to the world with positive hearts- Love is Light. Be a becon.

Radiohead....Greatness

2009-03-06T02:29:00.000-08:00

Radiohead - All I Need [live From the Basement] - A funny movie is a click away

Here we see Radiohead perform All I Need live in the basement.

Radiohead is one of my sources for creative inspiration. Adept musicians that are often cerebral but at the same time have an emotionally driven sound. This is a performance from their basement series where they play live for us fans and syndicate it for free. Genius idea and great to see them in a slightly unpolished and raw element performing their work. Lovely.

History

2009-01-28T10:56:00.000-08:00

In a generation where we have witnessed the foundation laid out from our civil rights elders, of the past fourty decades we are now witnessing our youth, the next generation, experience the evidence of a manifestation of a vision those whom have come before us shared. A great thing indeed. We are all born free.

Mos Definitely... LOL

Yo I just couldn't resist. Brotha Mos is funny on this one.

Posted on youtube by Good Magazine a few months ago...
"GOOD - The magazine for people who want to do well by doing good. We engage and challenge the people, ideas and institutions driving change in the world."

Check them out at: www.good.is They're pretty insightful on a bunch of different issues and interests. You can be a contributor to the site content as well... Hmmm I see a trend here (thanks Current.com for making it so popular..well kind of)

But the Original Source for this video is 247townhall.org. I'm really feeling them. Though to me, the site isn't that visually exciting (i blame the slanted grayish font at the top) the content is really good thus far. Others they've interviewed are Danny Glover and Wyclef to name a few. It seems to me like it's new and still building. Also here you can be a contributor as well. Please Check them out at www.247townhall.org and show some love. Props to Mohammed Bilal, Sam Miller and Jessica Corbin for creating this. Peace - The Rah

In a place where things may come
and go
like the wind,
or the people we meet,
the styles
and trends.
We find ourselves traveling
toward a lonely end.
But the Real stays with us
like our family
and true friends.

Archived rescue

Well here's another from the car archives. A 3/4 view from project NIA, an off-road Jeep rescue vehicle done while a student at CIA. I must admit this thing makes me want to show something new! Aaah we'll see. Note: This sketch is the smaller, quicker version right before the finalized design. Seated 2 people, had a retractable back cover and one sliding seat for the assisting medic.

Hey people,
Here is a sketch I found from a few years back. I used to study car design and thought I'd post this, since that field is such a strong influence on me as a designer. I still love car design. Having fun. Hmm maybe I'll post some more car sketches in the future... We'll see.

P.s. I have way too many car sketches that need a home. any takers? lol

Early Ozwald Boateng

2007-12-23T21:49:00.000-08:00

Extraordinary fashion presentation by Ozwald Boateng in mid 90's. Love the theatrics and colors.
Trailblazer.
More info:

Ozwald Boateng is a modern bespoke tailors at №12a Savile Row founded by Ozwald Boateng (OBE) who sees himself as both tailor and a designer, so coining the term 'bespoke couturier'.^[28] There is also a ready-to-wear outlet on Vigo Lane.

Born in Ghana in the late 1960s and brought up in north London, Boateng started tailoring at age 16, selling his mother's designs on Portobello Road; by twenty three he had set himself up full-time in business. He began making bespoke suits in 1990, and is credited with introducing Savile Row tailoring to a new generation. The first tailor to stage a catwalk show in Paris, Boateng's many clients include Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, Samuel L. Jackson, Russell Crowe, Keanu Reeves, and Mick Jagger.^[29]

He was appointed creative director of Givenchy menswear in 2003.^[30]

On June 22, 2006, the Sundance Channel began airing a reality television series called House of Boateng which follows Boateng's efforts to launch his Bespoke Couture line in the United States.

Boateng lives with his wife and two children in central London, and was recently named one of the 100 Great Black Britons by The Voice and the Greater London Authority.
