LIAM IAN™ COLOR CODES

March 03, 2025 / William Burrell Philpot IV

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.

ARTISTIC FUSION!

March 02, 2025 / William Burrell Philpot IV

Week 10: Artistic Fusion—Blending Media & Styles (Mar 1 - Mar 7)

• Focus: Mixed media, digital + traditional fusion, combining past works into new compositions.

• Challenge: Merge two past works (e.g., an ink drawing with a digital painting overlay).

• Marketing Angle: Share the layered process and encourage others to remix their own work.

As we march on into March, our effort is to further our activities within and beyond Paint and Canvas Artwork. This week—the first full week of March and the last month of our ARTS QUARTER—we’ll be starting the process of incorporating different media types to make one piece. Where last week we covered how our environments can shape modes and moods, now we’ll be looking at fusion to bring order and beauty to the confusion cementing in reality the ideas and even illusions.

Whether sketched, illustrated or painted, sometimes the most profound aspect of a scene isn’t just the environment but also the very cool mixing of media and media structures that inform and influence us everyday. As we add more of the different aspects of life their relative very different dimensions, we create new masterpieces representing more than we sometimes we could ever imagine.

LOOKING FOR NEW RELATIONSHIPS!

As we continue to develop newer and newer projects, we’re also looking to collaborate and partner with those that excel within those same fields.

If you are a Visual Artist (Sketch Artist, Illustrator, Painter, Sculptor, etc.) who is EXCITED to share their work, we’d love to network and collaborate with you!

We’re looking for other creators within the local North Bethesda, MD (and surrounding Washington, DC areas) for Artists, Designers, Photographers and other Creatives to build and commune with. As LIAM IAN™ symbolizes growth and change for one man of Color, Ethnicity and Culture, we want to features those who symbolize and embody that as well.

ABSTRACT PAINTING

While there are many forms and styles to painting and creating visual art thru paint to canvas, the one that has always impacted me the most is that of Abstract Painting. Where it leaves one to wonder and interpret, Abstract Painting is for me a form that encourages one to see beyond the surface. It entices and teases the imagination. It allows one to break free from the normal understanding and conventions of things needing to be defined and readily understood as to conform to structure and order. Abstract Painting and Art allows a way for new trains of thoughts and ideas. I’ve chosen this form for our projects as not only to assist in the time constraints but also to lead room and freedom to use those visual concepts and ideas for “Through-Line” Projects. —Liam Ian

LIAM IAN - Ai (@Liam.Ian.LLC_Ai)

While we’re active within our Creative Quarter, we’re still using our resources to develop additional types of Art. Ai Art is category we like to play around in generally in also developing products and assets to implement services. We’re creating prompts to develop Creative Quarter and Category assets; this week will be about Painting and Dynamic Colors. Infusing our Custom Color Palette with messages for this Black History Month and other relative activities, we’re striving to bring more and more to add to what we do and offer.

ENVIRONMENTAL STORYTELLING

March 01, 2025 / William Burrell Philpot IV

Week 9: Environmental Storytelling (Feb 23 - Feb 29)

• Focus: Backgrounds, landscapes, and environment integration in artwork.

• Challenge: Create an atmospheric scene that tells a story without characters.

• Marketing Angle: Post “before and after” progress of a background alone vs. with a character added.

Our effort is to further our activities in Paint and Canvas Paint Artwork. This week we’ll be on how our environments can shape modes and moods. Whether sketched, illustrated or painted, sometimes the most profound aspect of a scene is in the environment. The setting. The surroundings. The backgrounds that are also the foreground shaping us and the subjects to really conform to becoming a part of the canvas and tapestry.

PORTRAIT MASTERY & EXPRESSION

February 19, 2025 / William Burrell Philpot IV

Week 08: Portrait Mastery & Expression (Feb 16 - Feb 22)

Focus: Facial anatomy, stylized vs. realistic portraiture, expressive brushwork.
Challenge: Paint or illustrate the same face with three different emotions (joy, anger, sadness).
Marketing Angle: Post progress shots and invite engagement with: “Which version tells the strongest story?”

Our effort is to further our activities in Paint and Canvas Paint Artwork. This week we’ll be looking at the significance and depth of Facial Features as the human face is one of the most influential and impact organic forms within art. Not disregarding the place of Color and how color affects the mood, this propels us into a phase where how we interpret the world thru color further encourages use thru, within and about people. As this well transitions between our categories of Art, Design and Photography, we’re using the discussions of Paint, Color and the variations and differences of the human face to better illustrate how we’re often affected within our everyday lives and how that communication can influence perspectives and paradigms as well as moods, dispositions and attitudes.

COLOR MASTERY & MOOD CREATION

February 10, 2025 / William Burrell Philpot IV

Week 07: Color Mastery & Mood Creation (Feb 9 - Feb 15)

Focus: Advanced color theory, emotion through color, and dynamic palettes.
Challenge: Take an old black-and-white sketch and color it using a non-traditional palette (e.g., a cold, eerie blue scene instead of a warm one).
Marketing Angle: Post side-by-side color variations of an artwork and ask followers which one feels more emotional.

Our effort is to further our activities in Paint and Canvas Paint Artwork. This week we’ll be looking at the significance of Color and how color affects the mood. As this well transitions between our categories of Art, Design and Photography, we’re using the discussions of Paint and Color to better illustrate how they affect communication and influence moods, dispositions and attitudes.

📕 ➪ 🗂️: 2025 DRAFT LIST

📕 ➪ 🗂️: ARCHIVE

As we develop internal projects for activity, IP and product development, we strive to adhere to our own philosophy and mantra of “Intelligence. Ethnicity. Innovation.” The Arts are the foundation of what we do and who we are. We’re dedicated to exploring and expanding our capabilities to creating media and content that encourages and inspires all communities with a dynamic and specific focus on Communities of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. Our goal is not to take away from any community but to add to the national, international and universal identity of humanity and the greatest potential of who and what are and are to become.

Ai ART Generation Use & Management

Integrated as moderate tools, we use platforms like Chat GPT to help review, discusss and develop new projects testing the potential and possible merits and impacts of them along the way. We use platforms like Midjourney, Leonard Ai and DALL-E to help develop and realize ideas, concepts and drafts of desired projects and possible outcomes including product aesthetics. While we’re committed and focused on developing works that are of our own intention, invention and human inspiration, we are not against the use of Ai Tech to make us better creating more valuable and impactful products and services for our customers and clients.

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.
