"New York has closed itself off to the young and the struggling…New York City has been taken away from you. So my advice is: Find a new city."
Patti Smith

This blog has 881 posts, and almost all of the content is unoriginal work.
The philosophy used to be to “stand on the shoulders of giants”. Parallel to hip-hop production- be derivatively unique and original.
While those statutes still form the core of what this site stands for, I must admit (to myself) that its content must be more personally driven. I am far from an artist but I have a firm understanding of my creative beliefs. In the past I communicated these beliefs by demonstrating the work of other like-minded artists. From this point on, I am going to slowly increase the amount of original content on this site.
Although I am currently limited to fairly traditional methods of expression (writing, photography, graphic design), I hope to slowly extend my artistic reach to other areas as well (fashion, music, industrial design, various forms of production).
In addition, I will begin to vigorously promote the work of my friends. I am privileged to reside in an environment where I am surrounded by talented people that don’t even comprehend the scope of their own awesomeness yet.
This is written with absolutely no intention of snobbery. I do not have confidence in my own creative abilities, and I have spent the past 881 or so posts relying on other artists because of my insecurities and limitations. However, my goal is to express my creative sensibilities in every field I desire- my expressions ultimately culminating into the ideology of a lifestyle.
This marks the beginning of a long climb towards that goal.
