Men’s Style Through the Artist’s Eyes is a 3 part series that explores works of artists that tap into the male sartorial subconscious either unintentionally, subliminally or overtly. The 2nd installment focuses on the works of David Hockney
I hold Hockney’s work dear to my heart. He paints the man I aspire to dress like.
BIG P.S.A. I have officially launched my pocket square line this week. This is what has kept me busy the past few months. I’m really proud of how the first collection turned out and I’m already working hard on the second batch. Explore the site and stay tuned for more stuff.
Men’s Style Through the Artist’s Eyes is a 3 part series that explores works of artists that tap into the male sartorial subconscious either unintentionally, subliminally or overtly. This week, British-Born German artist Lucien Freud will be our subject of focus.
Lucien Freud is a man that deals on the psychological plane. His impastos are thick with layers that flesh out his subjects with a unsettling sense of vulnerability.
As stated in the last post, it’s been a while since I post anything here. My Tumblr has been receiving most of my attention. In any case I will try to post here at least once a week.
I’ve recently been slammed by a wall of inspiration splashed by the different shades of the color blue…
The concept of death has also been on my mind… in what way it relates to us. Whether through fear, celebration or glorification.
It’s probably the fact that I had the time to reflect on my uncle’s passing 5 years ago in April.
It could also be the works of Actress, Madlib and Yves Klein and the next collection I’m working on talking to me.
I know weird.
Apologies for the lengthy hiatus, but it was necessary for the greater strategy. I’ve been quite focused on creating an active Tumblr. There is also a new project that will be revealed in a few weeks. So stick around, and stand in line; you’ll hear the trumpets when they blow. This tank is back in action and once again ready for the front lines. Back to shooting things.
Sorry for the absence, I’ve been working hard on some new things. All shall be revealed soon.
Time to make another visit to Long Island City…
On Sunday, February 5 from 1-6 p.m., Pitchfork will present “From Scratch”, an event with electronic music producer Nicolas Jaar at MoMA PS1 in Long Island City, New York.

This event kicks off MoMA’s weekly winter programming series, “Sunday Sessions” that will run from February 5 to May 13, 2012 from 12pm to 6pm.
Some of the people that will be joining him:
Lizzie Feidelson
oh… and it’s FREE
Sundays have gotten interesting again in New York! B)
TightMike & KayleoStocko… you have officialy caught my attention.
I first took notice of FALCONS on Potholes in my Blog
I can’t front… I slept on their EP. I mean it was cool…
Their Remixxes project however was much more interesting…
Now they dropped what I believe is the song that will put them over the edge in 2012.
From their bandcamp site:
Nigeria is a dark track, a solitary noctural trip through the buildings of a deserted town. Mingling uptempo juke rhythms, R&B, and a unique blend of glitchs,
coupled with samples taken from the African culture, the whole still has a modern flavour, showing us, once again, the extent of the
duo’s influences.
here is visuals to accompany all the awesomeness
Crocs, Lions, Gazelles…
Some of the many animals I encountered while I was in Lagos:
I got the chance to witness some lions take down prey on a red croc brief case I commissioned a local artisan to make.
