Never giving up and never letting go, we’re redeveloping the Custom IP and RG Project; The Crimson Cape Collection.

Our intention is to further develop this project for custom Intellectual Property, media development and strategic investment allocation.

It’s not business as usual anymore. It’s going beyond to invest in events, activities and pop-culture to find fun and fulfillment within a life of stress and constant issues.

CAPTURING CREATIVITY!

THE PROFOUND MOMENTS THAT SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERESTIMATED.

by Kendra Alexys V.S. Philpot.

Here—HERE—is a moment that should never be overlooked. Like so many and like such others, this is where the promise and potential and power of an individual makes themselves real—real enough to be seen and realized by those around.

She is my daughter and she is profoundly creative, skilled and talented. She has a capacity of creativity and critical thought that is only overshadowed for her levels of care and kindness.

I am consistently amazed and left in awe at what she can do and the process in which she does it. She is the apex and epitome of all that I have aspired for and beyond. She is the greatest of any of my endeavors.

THIS WEEK IN SOCIAL MEDIA!

May 14, 2023  /  William Burrell Philpot IV

SHARING THE ABUNDANCE OF ARTISTRY WITHIN LIFE AND LIFESTYLE!

We’re inspired by the culture that is Black and African American first and foremost. We strive to love ourselves so we can effectively love others.

Social media plays a prominent role in who we are, who we have become and even how we will define ourselves into the future. As in and with Art, Design and Photography, we’re sharing and reflecting over the content that has influenced and impacted us today into tomorrow.

Since a youngin, I knew that I wanted to do anything and everything that had to do with Art and Design. It didn’t take long after entering the working world that a tremendous passion for Photography would’ve been cultivated. Now—as an entrepreneur—I find myself in and at a place where so much can be done and I love it. The fusion of technology and creativity ignites the passion of artists, designers, photographers and more empowering them to capture, embody and reflect the essence of our rapidly evolving world while evoking emotions that transcend time. In what seems to be an ever-constant moment of reflection for African Americans, social media often not only informs me of who I am…but also in what the world is and has the potential to become.

Growing up off of magazines such as VIBE, BLACK MEN, BLACK ENTERPRISE, THE SOURCE, GQ and many others, I know, understand and have felt the impacts of commercialization within and thru culture thru and for capitalism. With that awareness and appreciation, I know the significance of being able to communicate artistic thoughts to be applied to the various platforms of life. In being a Man of Color, Culture and Ethnicity, I further appreciate being to create and produce…because of who and what we—as African Americans—are and ought to be.

*I’m doing this for so many reasons—it’s crazy. We weren’t put here to live in the filth of suppression, depression, oppression or repression. We were meant to maximize upon who we are to be of impact upon this pale blue dot. I didn’t com cup with a lot and as I got older, I knew that I wanted to create—like I REALLY just wanted to create. Experimentation…and creation. Now that I’ve gotten to that place where I can, I know that I must.

CLASSICAL ARTISTS AND DIGITAL ARTISTS

May 11, 2023  /  William Burrell Philpot IV

In an analysis of the longstanding perceived value and prominence of Visual Artists as Painters (classical and classically trained fine artists) and Photographers, the perception and value attributed to different types of artists, can be influenced by several factors. It's important to note that these factors may vary among individuals and art communities, and there are exceptions to any generalizations. Here are some common-sense reasons that contribute to the differences in perceived esteem:

  1. Historical Context: Classical painting and traditional photography have a long-established history and are deeply rooted in artistic traditions and movements that have shaped the art world. The mastery of traditional techniques and the association with renowned artists of the past often contribute to their perceived value.

  2. Skill and Craftsmanship: Classical painters and photographers often require years of training and practice to develop their skills and techniques. The mastery of traditional mediums, such as oil painting or film photography, is often seen as a mark of expertise and dedication. The perception of skill and craftsmanship can influence the perceived value of the artwork.

  3. Cultural Significance: Classical paintings and traditional photography have played significant roles in cultural and art history. They have been displayed in prestigious galleries and museums, studied in art education, and have been associated with intellectual and cultural movements. This historical and cultural significance can contribute to their elevated status.

  4. Market Dynamics: The art market, influenced by collectors, galleries, and institutions, can play a role in perpetuating the perception of value. Traditional mediums like paintings and photography often have an established market with collectors and galleries that specialize in these art forms. The demand and market dynamics can influence the perceived value and esteem associated with these mediums.

  5. Changing Perceptions: As technology advances, digital art has gained recognition and acceptance in recent years. While there may have been initial skepticism or resistance towards digital art, its growing presence in galleries, museums, and online platforms is gradually reshaping perceptions. As more artists explore digital mediums and push boundaries, the perceived value and esteem associated with digital art are evolving.

It's important to recognize that artistic value is subjective, and there is no absolute hierarchy of artistic mediums or forms. The appreciation of art should extend beyond the medium itself and encompass creativity, innovation, conceptual depth, and the artist's ability to evoke emotions and provoke thought. As the art world continues to evolve, so too will the perceptions and value attributed to different forms of artistic expression.

Digital artists have a range of opportunities within the art industry that can help elevate their work and contribute to the overall value and meaning of the industry. Here are a few avenues they can explore:

  1. Online Platforms and Marketplaces: Digital artists can showcase and sell their work on various online platforms and marketplaces dedicated to digital art. These platforms provide exposure to a global audience and allow artists to connect with potential buyers and collectors.

  2. Collaborations and Commissions: Digital artists can collaborate with other artists, designers, or brands to create unique and engaging projects. Collaborations can lead to increased visibility, new creative perspectives, and opportunities for cross-promotion. Additionally, accepting commissions allows artists to create custom pieces for clients, expanding their portfolio and generating income.

  3. NFTs and Blockchain Technology: The rise of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) has opened up new possibilities for digital artists. NFTs allow artists to tokenize and sell their digital artwork on blockchain platforms, providing proof of ownership and authenticity. This can create new revenue streams and enable artists to directly engage with collectors and art enthusiasts in the digital realm.

  4. Social Media and Online Presence: Building a strong online presence through social media platforms can significantly benefit digital artists. By sharing their work regularly, engaging with the audience, and participating in relevant art communities, artists can attract followers, gain recognition, and potentially attract clients and opportunities.

  5. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): Digital artists can explore the intersection of art and technology by creating immersive experiences in virtual and augmented reality. This allows artists to push the boundaries of traditional art mediums and engage audiences in innovative and interactive ways.

  6. Education and Workshops: Sharing knowledge and expertise can be a rewarding path for digital artists. They can offer online tutorials, workshops, or courses to teach others their techniques and skills. This not only helps aspiring artists but also establishes the artist as an authority figure in their field.

By actively exploring these opportunities and leveraging their digital skills, digital artists can contribute to the evolving landscape of the art industry, create meaningful connections, and find success in their artistic endeavors.
