FROM ART TO DESIGN TO PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY.

Operating within THE ARTS QUARTER we’re developing Artistic projects that allow us to continue our exploration for not only Art and our capacity for it but also the depths of what makes us Artists within our own rights. Unique to our brand identity, we’re sharing the color palettes and schemes that further define who we are and what we use to communicate what we’re all about. Our messages are steeped in bold rich colors in conjunction with those that imply wealth, worth, principle and value for all that we strive to operate with. Colors that signify the place and importance of People of Color resonating with those Black and Brown Communities that share collectively shared experiences.

Thru the works we create we want to ensure the potency and truth of our artistry and creative communication. Whether internal propriety works or those commissioned, at the end of the day we’re committed to staying true.

A DISCUSSION OF ART.

March 03, 2025  /  William Burrell Philpot IV

WHERE WE ARE. WHAT WE ARE.

In thinking on a passion for Art, I’m thinking on a passion—the passion—for expression. Expression is heavily dependent on identity just as much as creativity. What we identify ourselves as is just as important as what we identify ourselves with. There is not and cannot be any other distinction.

In this moment where things have winded down a bit, I’ve come to understand that identity is just as fluid as time itself. It can change with the wind where one moment is not and will never be like the ones before. With this knowledge—this very quiet knowledge—is then the wisdom to adapt and change ourselves. This is the true capacity of our power; to remove ourselves from our relative situations as to not become a product of them but to master them by mastering ourselves. Discipline and patience and temperance are akin to the kind of Fortitude one must need…but that fortitude is not standing as a rock or a pillar against the wind, it is to become unburdened and as light as a feather to move with the wind.

Water stays water whether its Frozen, liquid, or even hot up to the point where it might evaporate into the air only to become a part of everything else or condense enough to reappear as water again.

We stay motivated to created because of that surrounds us. We are products of the past leading up to the present full of hopes and dreams of what should come tomorrow. Coming out of and a lasting aspect of the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s, we’re forever appreciative and acknowledge the importance of what informed and influenced us. Civil Rights, Hip Hop, Neo-Soul and R&B, Positive Black and Brown Images within media that reinforced principles and values to making things better for us all, we believe we got the best out of humanity. Because of that, we have the potential to being the best of humanity.

It’s not just about positive media of and about Black and Brown people, it also includes those of many races and classes and cultures around the world that stood to fight for Equality and Equity—Justice and Fairness. The Art that would inform the potential for a greater and innovative future came from many directions. Artists like Jean-Michael Basquiat, Nikki Giovanni, Cornel West, Erykah Badu, Dave Chappelle and James Baldwin have helped to shape a view and paradigm of the world encouraging all people to find purpose and meaning within their humanities. Families and friends. Inclusive work environments and those social scenes that welcomed and valued different perspectives on style, music, history and life. We live our lives within a richness that could never be denied. Diminished and distorted perhaps but never denied.

While commercialization has leveraged the use of ideas and concepts that do not always add to the progressive and innovative development of communities, we understand the importance of a place and space for people to grow and excel freely. We want to be or at least encourage places and spaces like that.

*I personally experienced the hood. I was, am still and will forever be a product of the dysfunction. I was born within the hood; the urban or urban-suburban economically and socially disadvantaged and challenged areas of Washington, DC. Southeast DC. I grew up programmed with thoughts of misogyny and a perverse priority on materials justifying my worth and therefore identity. I grew up with anger and sadness often left under appreciated and valued. I grew up abandoned and abused and left to fend for myself after being dismissed as just another Black Man—Black Boy—that would never matter or develop into anything or anyone of true significance or value. Fatherless, having moved around almost twelve times before turning 21. I gained the perspective that I didn’t matter. My ideas didn’t matter. The Blessing is that I eventually learned and experienced different. My life matters. My ideas matter. My efforts and intentions. I matter. I matter therefore others matter. You matter.

While never attending such high-end institutions such as Duke Ellington School of the Arts, I managed to attend The Art Institute of Washington. I made efforts to do something with the talent of art and design while working and even hustling my own side “business”. Cultivating the skill and craft for drawing, painting and graphic design resulted in experiencing Photography. Mixed with modest entrepreneurship, I gained a respect for all that I had been afforded even those difficulties and obstacles experienced within my childhood. Drawing my focus on Art and its impact upon my life and development, I came to prioritize the perspective of purpose and meaning within our actions and how what we do and create within this world adds to the potential and possibilities for tomorrow.

As my Spirituality is and has been a core of all that I strive do and accomplish, I strive to maintain a spiritual significance to all that’s created personally and professionally. Whether alone or in conjunction and collaboration with others, the significance of the Black, African and African American Spirit, Identity and Experience remains the strongest foundation of my creative ambitions and intentions. Bold and rich yet subtle and sophisticated, all that I and we create within Art, Design, Photography, Videography and Business must resonate with the mantra that has been defined and refined by my ongoing spiritual significance; “Intelligence. Ethnicity. Innovation.”

I am and strive to always be encouraged by my flaws, failures, errors and mistakes, dysfunctions and disadvantages as much and as well as my talents, gifts, skills, opportunities, successes, and advantages. Thru everything we operate within, we aspire, encourage and inspire for positive Change.

LIAM IAN'S THE CREATIVE COLORING BOOK

January 31, 2025  /  William Burrell Philpot IV

Backed up on work and assignments with this project on hold for a few factors, we’re making the decision to self publish this book. Until we get to that point though, we’re publishing portions of the book here.

[LIAM IAN'S THE CREATIVE COLORING BOOK SAMPLE]

Like our custom “THE MOTIVATION BOOK”, this CREATIVE COLORING BOOK was inspired by many sources. As we’ve moved into what feels like a whole different phase of existence as People of Color in this modern day, we find there’s a need to prioritize remembering the messages of the past that have served to inform us about who we are and who ought to become. We believe in having a responsibility within society to making the future a better place and that starts with recognizing the responsibility we have to ourselves an how we treat and consider others today.

CREATIVITY MATTERS!

Out of our Coaching & Consulting platform, we’re to inspire creativity in as many places as possible. This coloring book also assists us in conveying to you and others that creativity matters! Creativity—as much People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture—matters.

Hip Hop and It’s Relationship To Art

January 20, 2025  /  William Burrell Philpot IV

A Synonymous Relationship

Take it back to the Golden Era, most recently celebrated with Hip Hop 50th, when you hear anyone tell the stories of the emcee combining with the DJ rocking the party, the story always includes graffiti street artists as much as it does crews and park jams. Initially considered just as taboo as getting caught tagging a building or subway car. And honestly not even considered to last as long as spray paint would on its subject.  It continues to grow like art continues to evolve; the Modern Era of Hip Hop has the Marvel Hip Hop Variant covers. Which, wow, was something I never would have imagined I needed to see until it happened, and it was epic. Look up the comics and the albums they complement; how spot on they are yet still so comic-like it doesn’t seem forced.

But what is to come of current music? Yo! To turn into this point where we say the music isn’t like it was… something I thought I would never say. This current era definitely needs to be separated from anything ever. During/Post Covid we made it to the point of self-publishing the emergence of Drill music  (if hip hop started in NY, then Chicago started drill) but the beats no longer catch the rhymes. You could say the poetry of what started Rap no longer is a part, songs are comprised of verbal gun shots, naming what block you are on and who you hate. The talent you had to have to make it to a record deal can be surpassed by views or spins, (all which can be a good BOT software let’s be honest) In the Art world contracts and funding are “grant agreements”.

Recently a banana duct taped to a wall sold for $6.2 million.  Sexyy Red is a night of karaoke at best in a performance and Ice Spice’s flow you would expect to hear from someone aged 4-8 years old, these two of many male and female rappers out there are charting on Billboard charts and winning awards.  What is it going to be when we look back? The banana I believe was eaten. The rappers don’t seem to be going away, Red has a totally inappropriately named lip gloss line and Spice is in Fortnite. Anyone else asking why? And how?  Get out your Elmer’s Glue or don’t have any performance talent and make a name for yourself while you can I guess. Just wake me when we take art back in general.

—Levonte.

ART, SPIRITUALITY AND COLORING

January 20, 2025  /  William Burrell Philpot IV

IP PRODUCTION: LIAM IAN™ CREATIVITY COLORING BOOK.

While there are many options and avenues of creating art and expressing oneself, our contribution is by debuting the LIAM IAN™ CREATIVITY COLORING BOOK. This custom coloring book features abstract art templates to allow the artist the freedom to explore colors and color combinations. We want to encourage artists to think and color outside the lines of static and original thinking, to get away from the rigid train of thought to color and apply by what is established, defined, and familiar. Like that of music—especially jazz—we want to provide a structure while having that structure unstructured enough to allow for true individuality and free thought. We’re allowing for the spiritual space to color and apply as one feels and deems adequate and appropriate for their own personal identities.

As art is the profound product of creativity, creativity is intelligence at play. It is intelligence exploring, developing, and growing beyond the confines of the often rigorous and structured routines as established, defined, and implemented by others. It is a form of spirituality in that it draws from things that might reside within and around us — yet unseen and unnoticed and unaccounted for in our everyday lives. Creativity is Freedom. It is the ability to express and manifest that which is unique to the creator before that of anyone else. It can be encouraged, inspired, and sometimes even copied or impressed upon another. However, it is a unique representation of an individual, a group and even an entity.

While my priorities have naturally and quite adequately shifted into being a parent, the fundamentals of creativity being at my core are still there. Creativity was once a medium to fill the void of the time and space in my childhood and the required activity within schooling. However, as an adult, it is an absolute choice. Though my abilities as an artist have diminished through the years by the lack of practice, engagement, and intention, it is my goal to regain the abilities I once possessed. The effort—more effectively—is to find out if what I once had I still have today.

Growing up, Pen and Ink Sketching were my favorite and sometimes only form of self expression. Today, I have many. I understand, however, the place of lines; the black and white; the flat and only minimal application of thoughts and ideas after or in conjunction with the written word.

In developing a coloring book, we’re encouraging artists to think into the abstract—the abstract mind. I feel that the truest of inspirations can be manifested into great things with the slightest and most minimal of tools and resources. What it is to see a line, trace a line, color within and/or even outside a line says much to developing the capabilities of creativity. It helps to define whether we can be defined and adapt to situations or to go absolutely beyond or against the conventional. This coloring book is to be encouraging and empowering as much as a coloring book can be. We introduce this coloring book as our very minimal and modest way of lighting the spark of creativity for those who just may need it…even in the smallest way.

Assisted Development: THE CIRCLE MEMBERSHIP

Written by Liam Ian. Edited by Jemmael Joseph

*In developing, interacting and reviewing this product, I’ve come to a greater understanding of those colors that represent expressions and ideas about myself, my paradigms and my place within he greater tapestries. I prefer dark and rich colors mixed with brown tones and those metallic; bronzes, silvers and golds. While I notice my resistance to employ bright colors of prescribed “heavenly” nature, I notice that what I use to define a lined image informs a depth, disposition and attitude that takes things seriously and weighs things down a bit. This informs me about the other works I’ve produced including even my and our photography projects.

Thru a very modest engagement of discussion and self-engagement, I’ve come to rediscover and renew an understanding about myself that helps me to stand firmer and taller on my identity and those things of my activity and production that represent me.

For more related conversations, come see our CUSTOM COLOR LIST that informs what we create and often why.

THE 2025 ARTS QUARTER

January 05, 2025  /  William Burrell Philpot IV

WHAT’S THE POINT OF ART ANYMORE?

DOES IT MATTER LIKE IT USED TO? SHOULD IT? DOES IT MATTERING EVEN MATTER ANYMORE?

[WEEK 02-2025: CREATING PURELY FROM THE BRAIN TO PAPER.]

Art is everywhere. Art…literally…is everywhere nowadays. What with Visual Artists and Musicians and Storytellers and Content Creators, artistry and creativity are running thru our lives as rate that seems almost comparable to the particles that contact the earth from the sun only a daily basis…if not more. Almost everything we do and have is given to us thru the creative genius of others. With creativity being in abundance like never before, does it even matter anymore? Does it exist in the same context that it once did?

When I think of what Art used to mean to me, I think of how we used to decorate our rooms and homes to define our identities and customize our spaces to fit who and what we were and aspired to be. I think of the place of attire and personal aesthetics to communicate our ideas, principles and beings before words were ever spoken. There was a certain and specific kind of depth. Now…it’s everywhere. Now it’s everywhere and just about everyone can create in a commercial context to build a community and following. Art and creativity are everywhere and with that abundance, have we lost the substantial purpose behind it anymore?

We believe in creating. We believe in creating for the sake of creating. We believe in creating to encourage and inspire others…especially those that have had their realities diminished or distorted by commercialism and capitalism. We believe the point of Art in this modern day is to further build community. We believe in the power of Art to fuel local bonds and relationships that offer real and tangible results. We believe in creating but what it is to create is have Power.

WHILE WE MAY NOT BE CREATING AS MUCH…

…we’re still encouraging and inspiring others to create by appreciating and celebrating others. As a small operation we’re doing our part and all that we can to keep our creativity strong to impact and influence our communities. We feel that there’s no better way to do this by not only creating our stuff but to serve as a platform for others. To create is to be seen. To create is to be heard. To create is to communicate and to commune with others within a community. Commercial agendas that apply to the capitalistic mindset must take a backseat to what should matter most to people nowadays and that is to commune and communicate to build greater, better and stronger communities.

CREATING PURELY FROM THE BRAIN TO PAPER.

The written word. Line to paper. Ink to surface with measured strokes and accidental blots but the true and pure intent to bring into reality what was once in the mind. Manifestation and Realization. Creation and Creativity.

As we continue to plan out our activities to ensure the business of consistency throughout our projects, we’re still engaged. Pen and paper—paint to canvas are much different than that of using a computer to apply graphics or pushing the shutter button to capture a composition.

ENGAGING OTHERS TO ENGAGE WITH US.

Not too late to the game, we’re finding new ways of engaging others. It’s not just writing a bit of text and taking a quick shot for the social media platforms, it’s always been creating custom IP to get others involved. We want others to engage and get involved with the process of Change…and us. LIAM IAN™ is about Change. Change is about “Intelligence. Ethnicity. Innovation.”

We’ll be reaching out to others within our local communities to develop projects and products to further encourage and impact others. Whether private publications or social media content, we’re striving to build our community. We’re striving to engage our communities because we know that the only way to grow.

JUST A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE.

Truly it’s all a matter of perspective. A matter of paradigm. A matter of where one is standing and the lens they’re operating with. As we position to talk about the place of Black and Brown People and People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture, we going to doing it in a way that is patient and professional while energetic and exciting. We believe in the meshing and melding of the cultures to move our evolution into the next stage. Just as we’re all species upon this earth—only separated by the dogmatic stereotypes of skin color and places of hereditary origin and the very rigid intellectual structures that would define us as different—we feel empowered to empower others. Beginning with ideas and discussion to pen to paper with the intentional leading to stories told before a lens, we only want to matter because we know there are many perspectives that share a common thread—a “through line” if you will.

CHANGE. ART. SOCIAL JUSTICE.

ART & SOCIAL JUSTICE

In planning new projects for 2025, we’re anticipating the many opportunities that will exists. We want to showcase the complexity of issues that continue to plague the Black and Brown communities as a way to further highlight the strengths and pros. Within Art, in general we want to develop and feature works and individuals that truly push the envelope to redefining People of Color in profound and positive ways. As we eventually get into Design, we want to do the same with a focus on how cultural identity plays a part in things from commercial communication to environmental aesthetic language. Using Photography and Videography to capture these moments, we’ll also be using those forms to help reinforce the journey.

As mentioned in the above preface, this year must remain anchored and dedicated to revealing and representing People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture in as many positive, supportive and reinforcing ways as possible. With use of Chat GPT and Ai Art Generators such as Midjourney and Leonardo Ai within our Red Book Drafting and Planning Processes to visualize and manifest our various ideas and concepts, we’re striving to push against the limitations and barriers of Art, Entrepreneurship and everyday life to create. This is the goal. This is what we aspire to do. Integration of technology to help us perform and produce is a part of the “Change” we’re talking about.

📕 RED BOOK FILES

We will be continuing to develop projects thru the Red Book Drafting and Development process. Where Ideas and concepts are drafted for later review for development, the Red Book process helps us to discuss and visualize opportunities for IP production and even service implementation. These files are of course proprietary and so project development then remains the specific authority and responsibility of LIAM IAN™.

ART, DESIGN, PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEOGRAPHY, IP & PRODUCT

The goal is secure and enact as many projects as possible that are meaningful and consistent. Establishing a through line, we want to make sure all our projects have and communicate a consistent and coherent message. As we draft, discuss and develop these projects, we’re staying conscious and aware of the associated artistic impact to and within our local communities. As the theme for 2025 is “Change. Art. Social Justice.” all that we aim to develop and produce remain anchored within the same waters.

2025 & THE 2025 ARTS QUARTER!

2024 ARTS QUARTER CREATIVITY LIST

February 24, 2024  /  William Burrell Philpot IV

WE’RE STAYING FOCUSED ON CREATING AND PRODUCING. WE’RE PRODUCING AND CREATING CONSISTENT WITH WHO WE ARE AND THOSE THINGS WE HOLD MOST DEAR.

Adhering to our 2024 RED BOOK PLANS, we’re creating with the intention of not only expressing our interests, concerns, paradigms and artistic perspectives but to also market products that have specific and unique meaning and purpose to those we’re most interested in. While our audience is large and diverse, we’re still actively interested and engaged with Communities of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. As our Arts Quarter is dedicated to the development of manual and handmade physical artworks and pieces, we’re striving to stay focused on the theme of 2024 (“The Dichotomy of…” LIAM IAN) and those categories that we’ve already established ourselves within.

Here is our preliminary list of artworks and artwork categories we’ll be entertaining and creating:

JANUARY - DRAWING & SKETCH: Getting back to a place of authenticity and originality for creating. Where the mind once had a place to fulfill its dreams.

FEBRUARY - SKETCH & PAINT: Getting more elaborate with what’s being done. Centralizing the ideas to go beyond the pen and the pad to things more complex and therefore sophisticated.

MARCH - PAINTING & PHYSICAL MULTIMEDIA: That integration of the complex and sophisticated to things that are much more of the everyday and modern world. Extracting the different elements to set them as ingredients for an artistry that should be unlimited.

As we’re in business to stay creative, we’re working to further bring order to the chaos of creativity that influences and informs who we are. Our schedule is keep our focus on the things that truly matter. It’s about process and patience. Skill, intention and vision. It’s about the innate ability to manifest what resides inside waiting to be set free.

THE LUXURY OF CREATIVITY

We believe in the capacity to develop messages that carry powerful meaning and purpose to People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. Standing out and apart from means a lot to us. Much more is the ability to create and manifest that which is honest to us and who we are.

THE PATH WE’RE ON

At our foundations, LIAM IAN LLC is specifically and solely designed to reflect the attitude and disposition of Liam Ian Black (William B. Philpot IV) as an African American Artist, Designer, Photographer and Entrepreneur. Our path is to continue to impact and make an impression upon Black and Brown African American Culture and Community in America.

2024 serves to Appreciate, Encourage and Inspire people to not only continue to create but to create with Vision, Mission, Meaning and Purpose. Within our ARTS Quarter, we’re developing custom works inspired by established art and artists marketed for high-end markets and audiences. Incorporating a minimalist tone, composition and structure our works are cultivated with the intention of adding abstract depth and value while still containing and conveying classic cultural concepts and ideas.

ADDITIONAL CREATIVITY ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTS

Ai ART DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

As the ongoing aspect of creating, we’re furthering our activities with Ai Art and Ai Art Generators to produce works for other project, product and service developments. We’re leveraging our access, assets and resources to further our custom IP and selective messages.

JANUARY

  • REWRITING THE LANDSCAPE: Ideas and Concepts Turned Black. We’re taking a look at what has been done to develop the new. The goal is to innovate upon who we were to get to the next level of who we need to be.

FEBRUARY

  • BLACK HISTORY MONTH: Empowering Imagery for the African American. Immersing ourselves within the place of Art within Black and Brown Culture to produce Inspiring and Empowering Images. Not just in history though but also in conjuring ideas, concepts and visions of the Future.

MARCH

  • CREATING NARRATIVES: The Power of Images to Influence and Impact. As we further create and engage other technologies to create, we’re stepping into dynamic storytelling to further appreciate, celebrate and empower. Moving into the 2nd Quarter, we’re preparing for Design works that will help continue the cultivation of positive messages.

The following Quarter of Design promises to be one full of innovative and meaningful designs and messages. As we look and seek to elevate ourselves within and beyond all the issues of this world, we’ll also be striving to develop and fulfill projects that will serve for the following Quarters. Our DESIGN Quarter begins the 14th Week of 2024, Sunday March 31.
