As the weeks come and go, so do opportunities to do and try new things. As a Business and Small Business dedicated and reliant on one man to be the Entrepreneur and the Artist, there are always fantastic and fascinating opportunities to do things different than what some others might. TODAY, we’re going to start the process of showing and sharing more of who we are and how we do things to not only stay afloat but to further entrench ourselves in Art, Design and Photography.

STAYING ORGANIZED

The key to doing business for us is in staying organized. One must know what’s coming in order to plan accordingly.

2024 THEME: “THE DICHOTOMY OF…”

2024 QUARTER 1: DESIGN Quarter / Month 2 - MAY / Week 20: DIGITAL ART & DESIGN INTEGRATION (ART & DIGITAL)

This Week’s Project Activities:

The task is for us to stay consistent with what we’re doing and producing. While Artistry and Creativity are the core of who and what we are, Entrepreneurship is one of the overall driving factors behind why we do what we do. A perspective of our goals is to bring meaningful and impactful products to market to Appreciate, Encourage and Inspire Black and Brown People, African Americans and People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. This is the behind the processes of how we do it.

INSPIRATIONS: REPLICATION

While we are completing contracted and commissioned works thru our Subscription Services for Commercial Uses, we’re still working to develop our own custom works and IP. This year—as conforming to “The Dichotomy of…” 2024 theme—our custom Design work will be inspired by select African and Asian cultures. This selection is chosen due to the aesthetic importance and cultural heritage values employed. Our works are for product development and/or branding purposes and uses.

MEMORIAL DAY DESIGNING

What it means to be American is—as it has always been—is a complex and often sophisticated notion…especially when it comes to the pride that one is to have being such. Memorial Day being a day of remembrance and honor for America’s military men and women who lost their lives in service to the country, we’re striving to also honor those who gave their lives unwillingly for creation and establishment of the country. The brutality brought and wrought to those who would be enslaved, come out of slavery and operate within ongoing injustices that would leave them diminished and destroyed as yet their blood, activity and voices would continue to help shape this country warrants a remembrance that should run hand in hand with those who have served. We are celebrating the veterans of the military and veterans of an imbalanced life to help develop and sustain America. Our design work will reflect such a message; The Military and Beyond!

FATHER’S DAY & F A T H E R ™

While we may have missed the mark in marketing product for Mother’s Day, we’re starting early to encourage product development for Father’s day! Let’s be factual about this, being a Father is and takes Artistry. Fatherhood is…Artistry! The cultivation of Life, Freedom, Promise and Prosperity, Safety and Security, being at the base-level of things because things only begin to have meaning then because of women and children, Men are supposed to provide. Men are Fathers. Whether architects and founders, warriors and planners, scholars and those given the responsibility to encourage, inspire and lead—it is the Father bears to responsibility of standing up to time and the trials of the modern day. In this modern day—this modern world—what it means to be a Father and having to maintain ones manhood while being conscious and aware of the special duties of responsibility of being such is tremendously impactful and therefore must be celebrated in its entirety. We…are celebrating The Art of being…a Father.

We’re striving to develop our IP as best as possible with products that are thoughtful and meaning to People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. As we move forward our agenda to develop more, we’re still refining down what we offer and why. We believe in tremendous purpose in what we do because in the end it’s about more than revenue generation. It’s about impacting our clients, customers, audiences and communities.

Additionally, we’re getting ahead of things by beginning our planning processes for the oncoming Summer Season that coincides with our PHOTOGRAPHY Quarter. We’re encouraging our communities of Artists and Entrepreneur to get ahead of planning so they can gain perspective over what they need to do and be prepared for. With planning a constant and ongoing process, we encourage others to get on a regular schedule for what is and should be going on within their endeavors and enterprises.
