HAVE ART...WILL TRAVEL...

....In my never ending quest to inject (my) Art into the hearts and minds of "Common Folk" (Elitist Art is a Lie, and the Old Masters are Dead!!)....I'm constantly thinking of ways to diversify my work, as well as price ranges of work I produce. Lets face it..."Ain't nothin' new under the Sun"...and the days of being some super deeeeep, Master Painter...Artist dude (in my personal opinion) is WACK!...I'd much rather mastermind the next Mickey (Mouse) than Mona Lisa. Just think of the millions, or perhaps billions of lives Mickey has brought the joy of laughter and wonder.....while Mona sits there with that smirk on her face waiting for some Art Historian to trick you into thinking she's the most beautifulest girl in the world...wit no eyebrows. Not to mention the marketing powerhouse Mickey and his Clan have built (shout out to Pluto and Daffy)...though I'm sure you may find Mona's grill on a mug in the gift shop at the MET...or on some ultra-cool refrigerator magnets...but c'mon...Mickey made the Magic Kingdom...lunch boxes, countless toys, books, the Disney Channel, Mouscateers and the list goes on......and on..

What I'm saying (to my fellow Artists) is TIMES dun changed...and if your ultimate goal is to sit on the throne of galvanized greats, then you will always be a slave to the "Masters" and the pollitricks of the ART world.....besides, why would you wait for fame in death, when you can have (Artistic) freedom in life? ART is for people, whoever and as many as you can reach...by whatever means...the concept of selling out is only a cop-out for those who ain't buyin' anyway....(*remember...never sell you soul though!)...If Target calls..I'll answer....tell Ronald (McDonald) to holla at me....Walmart want what???.....take it to the streets...get your work together, travel, do shows in other zones...states...countries...from my own personal experience....the return is much greater than the effort....just be sure to focus on the infinite possibilities of the stars, and not the white gloved mouse hand pointing at them.....

NEW YILLZ...NEW QUILLZ...

....First of all...if your reading this blog, I'd like to extend peace and blessings to you and yours. Once again we find ourselves beginning a new year. I think it's safe to say that most of us are ready to shift into a new time frame....and let (especially the back end of...) 2009 drift off into our collective memory banks. In the famous words of Ghostface (Killa)..it does seem like "The glorious days are gone, and everybody's doin' bad.."...so many changes...socially, financially, spiritually, environmentally....uh...mentally and so on...that now is the perfect time to take stock in yourself and the people around you, tighten up your boot laces and go get it! For independent, Creative Individuals (Artists, Musicians, Writers etc...) now is the (best) time to do it!...the globe (Internet) is at your fingers and the people want what you have....after all...you've got nothing to lose (except your soul..never sell that!!)....so while most people are ready to file intellectual bankruptcy, or forfeit their creative freedoms...RISE I say....RISE like a Phoenix from the ashes of mediocrity, and make this a POWERFUL YEAR on your path to fulfillment.

Happy and Prosperous New Year from KULTJAH DEZIGNS.

BACK ON THE BLOG....


.....Yes...it's been a CRAZY month or so, and this recessions got all "those who hustle" in overdrive...new projects, family thangs, traveling, recouping, a new gig, re-structuring the re-structure, constant brainstorming, de-toxing, ducking swine-flu (no pork!), teaching the youth and the everyday (beautiful) struggle to do what you do makes me wonder...(as always)...where does one find time to blog?....we'll this one hasn't! Yet fear not, I'm back on it...thanks to the obvious necessity to inform our supporters (especially those dagger sharp e-mailing enthusiasts) and comrades of our current movements and future prospects....We'll be updating our blog/website (which is under re-construction) at least once a week, and not on some ol' current event ish, but actual info pertaining to the life/style/philosophies and opinions of KULTJAH DEZIGNS. With that (strangely mission like statement) said....stay tuned...

COLOR CHAMELEON VS. TIGER STYLE...


....Aight...so I'm not much of a Reality TV buff...but if my new partner in design, Samantha Knapp of Tiger Lily's Greenwich (CT), lands her concept for a show chronicling the daily grind of a well established Interior Design (family) Business on the "Gold Coast" of Connecticut...you might catch me bringing graffiti based color philosophy to HGTV....lol...stay tuned.
