Live With Art, It's Good For You
I feel this is an important message that had to be shared. Art is very important and it's a great outlet whether you are lost in painting that you are staring at or releasing your emotions and/or thoughts as a creative outlet. I believe that the designs you see on the apparel, buttons, posters, etc. that was made and will be made are art. There's a description on each product page explaining the meaning behind it, but that's 1 meaning. Maybe you see a different meaning that works for you and that is totally acceptable. I personally sketch almost everyday and the reason I don't do it everyday is I might be practicing creating art through a different medium like painting or photography or computer art. I collect as well, because I like art very much. It doesn't matter if you can only draw a stick figure or you have the talent of Rembrandt, it is something we need in our lives. Your connection to any form of art is between you and that piece.
If you have the opportunity to help the local art programs do so, because you never know what greatness can come from them.
Live with ART, It's good for you.

P.S. What is ART? That's a debate for another day.

Black Flag Shoppe Stop
So, I stopped by Black Flag Shoppe a few minutes ago and it's always good to head there. I ended up picking up this book featuring art by El Mac and Retna called "Alianza". I knew about them for awhile and a physical copy of anything is always a lot better than saving an image on the computer or bookmarking a website. I chatted up with Les for a bit, which talking to either her or Omar is always a pleasant talk, and it's always interesting to hear what they have to about the fashion world. They've been in this business for years and they always have a gem that they share, which I take into consideration every time I work Branded Baron. Here are some photos and the book I bought is at the bottom right in the picture with the Branded Baron belt and the books entitled "Boob." So if you're by the Clifton and looking for some hot stuff and want to see the Branded Baron apparel in person, go to
244 Lakeview Ave, Clifton, NJ 07011 They're closed on Mondays.

You can see the Jersey Devil design there.
