The Knife Maker_ Made by Hand No. 2

I ran into this piece on a blog I honestly can’t remember now, it is from a series called Made by Hand. The older I get the more I realize that I just enjoy making things; anything. I’m predominantly known for making music and then poetry, but I also studied fine arts and graphic design […]

Press Pause Play_ Full Documentary

This is going to take about an hour and a half of your life, but if you’re an artist in 2012, it will be worth it. I’ve been following the trailers for months now; thank you to my friend Alison Isaac for passing me the full documentary.

Frank Ocean_ BBC

Frank Ocean along with Kendrick Lamar and James Blake are probably my favourite ‘new’ artists of 2011. Young and exciting, creative artists who are pushing the limits and doing things different in a variety of ways. Looking forward to what these guys do.

Shad (Illume Sessions)_ Rwanda

My brother Shadrach Kabango is a great person and a talented artist. He is one of the most grounded and humble people I know despite his success in doing music for the last five years or so. After he put out his third and latest album TSOL I was happy to know that him and […]

Theophilus London_ LVRS of God

Theophilus London “LVRS of GOD” from R+I creative on Vimeo. I don’t know much about Theophilus London, except for he’s an interesting and kind of eccentric musician who popped up a few years ago. He also seems to like cowboy hats (I’m not mad at that).

Kehinde Wiley_ The World Stage (Israel)

Kehinde Wiley is a photographer and artist. I was first introduced to Kehinde Wiley by my friend Felicia Mings (an powerful artist and curator in her own right) who was obsessing about purchasing his book ‘Black Light‘. Since that time I’ve paid attention to what Kehinde is up to and recently saw this video on […]

Tattoo Artist_ Butterfly

Saw this on Get Grounded TV I don’t know much about Butterfly, but this video and her perspective on her craft, in addition to the story of how she got started is fascinating to me. Always interesting for me to listen to people who have passion and purpose in something, even if it’s not something […]
