The Failing of Criticism in the 20’s

A good reason why criticism seems dead and most articles read like PR statements is because new writers didn’t spend enough time reporting. If you were a reporter ‘beat writer’ you may be writing stories you don’t really care about but the trade off is you’re building relationships that will be valuable down the line.…

I’ve loved God My Whole Life I don’t need No Observable Miracles

I live my life pretty open and honestly about what I believe and who I believe in. Be it in fashion or any other topic I’m versed in bar politics. In action I took post university I share everything that should be public information about me, directly from me. When it comes to the topic…

Why I am in Fashion

I am an Artist. Above all else, first and foremost. My entrance to fashion was my mother, tailoring her traditional clothes to fit her needs, before I heard of an Alexander McQueen Fashion to me was culture. Regalia and such, there was a point where the industry would consume me, as an artist you are…

A Thought On: The Three W’s. Wealth Worth and Wage

Your wealth isn’t your worth and your worth isn’t your wage – Damilare. We have to be distinctive with the 3 W’s. Often I see people look up Jeff Bezoz or Bill Gates Net Worth thinking they can spend a lil money to fix the world. That can’t be further from the truth. The NetWorth…

A Thought On: BEING A BLACK ARTIST

As an artist you’re given certain licenses to do what you feel like as you feel because you’re an artist and supposed free spirit. Most of us are allowed to live as aliens that observe the world objectively but are able to warp it in the creative depths of our minds and give it back…

I’m an Amalgamist

I practice something called Amalgamism. A term I coined when I came to the realisation that what I did/do that looks and seems like academic writing or journalism. Isn’t the fitting term for what indeed I actually do. Out of respect for these fields I have not felt comfortable calling myself an academic or journalist.…

Pastiche 2 editors letter

In the pastiche part two I didn’t have a thought of a miraculous opener that would make my literary peers fawn. I made it, within itself a subject of my art form. The speech, the written and the visual. It was a creatively technical letter to artists, more than a philosophical harmony of my literary…

Support the act of Creation

To make something, is one of the most difficult things to do, talk less of to make something people have never seen before. Further still for that thing to be appreciated by a mass. I tend to culminate and coalesce on my forms. One of my favourite albums black sands by bonobo has this song…
