Hope your holiday was great!


Hellooooo all! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah. I had to say it was a great one and I really enjoyed my Christmas weekend. I saw some friends from grammar school that I haven't seen in years on Friday. Celebrated a nice Christmas eve with my girlfriend's family, followed by a great family Christmas. Plus, I enjoyed the Monday off. I was honestly not a computer for the past couple of days and it felt good. I even used my crackberry just for phone calls. This holiday break, I was away and enjoyed the festive and magical aura. I definitely hope you had a great weekend. New Year's is coming up and it's time to continuing focus on all goals for the future.

P.S. I had the most badass wrapping paper, because I had zombie wrapping paper. It was awesome.

Merry Christmas, You Filthy Animal



Home Alone & Home Alone 2 are classic movies and I always enjoyed the "Tommy Gun" scene. They were just funny scenes where the pizza boy, the Wet Bandits, and the hotel staff got pranked. I think I'm going to say "Merry Christmas, You Filthy Animal" to everyone now. lol Enjoy the clips.

Proud Circus presents "One Night Only"


Proud Circus is a collective of artistic individuals from photographers, musicians, designers, etc. and they're having their first event tomorrow. It's going to have music and artwork. Also, it will be sort of an album release for Daniel Joseph's new group He Who Shines Truly.  Their album cover is below.

I designed their cover and had the flyer look similar. It is very symbolic to them and each of the balls which are supposed to be similar to chakras represent one of the group members. If I remember correctly it has to do with them being humble artists, which is why there is paint splatter. Take a listen and hopefully I may see you at the event tomorrow night.
Listen here - http://thelightshow.tv/ My favorite track would probably be the second track, "Live at the top."

Throwback Thursday- Animaniac's Wakko's Christmas Burp song



Animaniacs was a funny cartoon show back in the '90s and the best segments were probably Wakko's burp songs. It was childish, but funny. I remember watching this Christmas one at my grandmother's Christmas eve when I was younger and it was humorous then as it is now. Here's my holiday Throwback Thursday for you.

PackFM "Want what's mine" Music Video


Qn5 Music's PackFM released his latest music video for his new song "Want what's mine." I'll admit the video is nothing groundbreaking and it's okay, but I really like the song. Since the latest designs were not designed by anyone else, this was one of the songs that I had playing in the background giving me inspiration while I was working. The title alone had me thinking this works and what I wanted to convey with the theme for "Royal Rebellion." I want to earn my spot as a designer. I want to earn this company as a great clothing company. It is necessary to bring everything quality to anyone who rocks Branded Baron. My mind was focused on taking and earning what I want. I know hard work comes in the territory and I'm busting my ass to make sure I get this out there and this song helped me focus on that. The song is a good song and if it wasn't, it would not have provided me with any inspiration. This is a song that connected to me on my goals, so I like to thank PackFM for this. He's a genuine good dude who I've met, seen plenty of times, and who I had come perform at my college some years back and I'll always be a fan of his. Art and music, one in the same really, connects people on some level and it's something that can only be appreciated. So, before I continue my rambling, watch the video and if you like it like I do, then go and download it from Qn5's site here DOWNLOAD MP3

New Poster for "The Dark Knight Rises"


I don't know how many of you are excited for this, but I am excited. I can't wait for the movie to come out. The little teaser trailer was cool, but I want to see more of the movie. They're definitely building up the anticipation for this movie. Bane is going to be a badass and I'm curious to see if one of my friends made the final cut in the movie. All I'm going to say is that Bane disrupts a sports game. Which one? I know which one, but let's just say there are two ways to play it depending on the person you speak to. 

I believe Tom Hardy is going to be a badass in this movie, because in Bronson and the mma movie Warrior, he was a beast. I recommend checking those movies out, because they were good flicks. Well, Bronson was a bit slow, but it's watchable.  That's one thing I like about Batman movies, the new villains. He probably has one of the best collective of bad guys to go up against and if you read the comics you know that is true. Well, I figured I'd share this poster with you for all that don't know.

Photo Shoot - Behind the Scenes



Hello, Everyone! I know I should have posted this earlier, BUT better late than never. Here's a glimpse of some of the action that went down during the photo shoot. You can see that we had fun, because even though this is work doesn't mean it's not and can't be fun. I want to thank Nick of the band Mother and Nic Nap for lending their bodies for the shirts as well as Mr. Lee Digital for his photography talents. The song used in this video was a source of inspiration for the designs, but I'll explain that later in another video/post. Enjoy this Branded Baron video and if you want to see more subscribe to the Branded Baron youtube page.

Throwback Thursday: "Fugees- Fu-Gee-La"



Here's a throwback for ya. I remember listening to this song and it's the one that got me to become a fan of the Fugees. I remember my aunt had two copies of their album "The Score" and she gave me one. I still have the cd along with a ton of other cds, which are taking up space since it's an old form of music now, but that's a discussion for another day. Enjoy this song and let it bring you back.
