Breaks are a good thing. We all need to hit pause button once and a while. Breaks give you a chance to miss things. Breaks give you a chance to think. Breaks give you a chance asess. They give you a chance to recharge. When you are constantly "on" you tend to loose focus and it shows in your work. Everybody deserves a break. During my break from you all I've been working my 9 to 5, being a Daddy/Husband having a blast with my angels and I started managing a rock band. I have been exposed to some of the dopest creativity over the past few months and my juices are flowing again. I have to get them out and what a better way than to share in a post. So welcome back I promise it all will be worth the wait....

DENNIS MORRIS - GROWING UP BLACK
“Once we were colored – then we became Black. Then we became proud ’cause we said it loud. We came from the back of the bus to owning the bus. Martin Luther King had a dream, we are now the reality. Obama said: ‘Yes we can.’ He did, and we will. History The Sex Pistolshas been made, history has been written. Growing Up Black is a chronicle of the making of a community, a mirror of how we started and how far we came. We have to keep pushing, keep building, keep the faith” – Dennis Morris
Best known for his music photography – including Bob Marley, Marianne Faithful, , Radiohead, Goldie, and The Prodigy – Dennis Morris starting taking photos at a young age while he was given a camera when in his church choir in London. His latest book, Growing Up Black which will be released at the end of the month, is a photographic record of inner city London in the late ’60s and early ’70s and shows domestic life at an important time in Black history, as well as images of inter-racial marriages, sound systems and the sense of community of the area. A beautiful study in simplistic imagery with an important undertone, here are a few shots from his upcoming release,

This is amazing!!!! (Art or Real Life???)
These "paintings" really freaked me out. At initial glance you would be sure that these are paitings when actually they are real people. I've looked and looked again and still can't believe what I'm seeing. Continue reading to see the artist posing with the pieces...

I must say, this did surprise me
Never thought I would see that day that Jay Electronica would endorse any corporate brand. This is undoubtly something that was set up by his affiliation with Roc Nation.....The clip was filmed in Electronica's native New Orleans and the folks at PepsiCo filmed this in a way that didn't compromise Jay's eclectic persona. It's good to see major brands showing some artistic diversity in their marketing.

Bobby V - Words directed by G.Visuals
Director G.Visuals brings to life what is arguably Bobby Valentino's best song to date. The treatment, an updated take on the classic "Hello" by Lionel Richie, takes Bobby V out of his normal zone of bump and grind and presents him with the task of flexing his acting chops to show more heartfelt emotions. Bobby V's love interest is a ballerina who by the way, possesses an organic beauty not normally found in mainstream music videos, but was perfect for the message Bobby V and Visuals where looking to give. She catches his eye during an audition and it is not until later he realizes that she is actually blind. It's clear after watching this video that G.Visuals strength as a director is using the camera to tell a story. He succeeds in this with great casting, stunning shots, subtle cut aways and great art direction. In the chorus Valentino sings, "Words don't mean that much to me" so Visuals took note and let the lens speak....
