Here is another sneak peek of a new design that will be up for sale soon. This particular design will also come in a sticker. I think you'll like the final design and the meaning, but you'll have to settle for this glimpse.

Also, other brands to vote for are Cavata Clothing and Regan Smith Clarke. Yes, I know I would face them in the second round, but I want to that to happen. It'd be a fun NJ/NY vs Boston rivalry round.

Music Monday: Rapper Okwerdz & Rock band Tost wearing Branded Baron


Music Monday is in effect today! The west coast rapper Okwerdz uploaded a new video today of his chronicles in Stockholm with fellow rapper Dizaster. If you didn't know or haven't seen their video, they traveled over there for a 2 on 2 battle rap. That was a very entertaining battle, so check it out on his youtube page(youtube.com/okwerdz). He clearly shouts out Branded Baron while wearing the Stunningly Fresh t-shirt and he was interviewed for a Swedish television station rocking that. There are no more tees left, but the longsleeve version is available. If you want a Stunningly Fresh longsleeve go click here. Okwerdz has always been a cool down to earth guy, so follow him on twitter and like him on facebook, and check out the merch he has like his cd, "The Off Season Mixtape" at http://shop.okwerdz.com/ 


Now the other video I have for you today is by the band TOST. It's a video of them performing followed by an interview. So, most of you who follow Branded Baron mostly speak English, so if you're looking to understand what they're saying well you're like me when I first saw this video S.O.L. It's cool to see a performance and interview with the "To Live Is To Fight" t-shirt worn, but as a fan of music, I would've loved to know what they were saying. Like TOST on facebook and I have heard some songs by them in English. Either way music doesn't have to be a language barrier as long as the music touches the soul. Enjoy the video.

The Armory Show Recap


On Saturday Anderson of Bluu Dreams Clothing and I went into Manhattan to check out the Armory Art Show. We figured it'd be good inspiration, he also wanted to check out the art by Kaws, and I always like checking out art exhibits. We both drove in, which we realized was dumb, because it took a very long time, before we found parking spots. I think I pissed someone off when I was standing in a spot that I was holding for Anderson, whatever. One IMPORTANT thing you must know is if you have a student id make sure you have it on you. Well, that works if you're young and your id doesn't show when you graduate. My college ID doesn't have the year I graduated, so I'm always using it to get good deals such as for this event.


While we were checking out the event, we were just overwhelmed with how much art there was being exhibited. I mean I can say the same for museums, but went up and down each aisle. "What is Art?" is definitely a question that will always be asked, because there were so many traditional and non traditional/avant garde pieces. I mean there was a dead horse on a table? I don't know what to think, except it's going to piss and gross some people and I don't know if that's "art" or a stuffed dead horse on a table.  I've been on a watercolor phase for the past year and a half or so, so I appreciated those pieces. There definitely was a lot of talent shown.

So if you haven't already, check out the the video recap that's at the beginning of this blog post. That is only a glimpse of what was there.

New Interview up on OnTheRiseMagazine.com


OnTheRiseMagazine.com's writer, Hannah interviewed me the other day and I give in depth answers. If you're an entrepreneur or want to start up a business I give my 2 cents on the subject. Like I've said before, every interview I do is different and I enjoy doing them. I really do appreciate Ontherisemagazine for featuring Branded Baron in the "On the rise talent" section. I'm just working hard to get Branded Baron to be a powerful force in this business.

Definitely check out On The Rise Magazine and make sure you read the interview, because I know there are certain things you may not have known.
