Are you really into music as an artistic inspiration? Yeah I like a lot of different types of music. It is shocking. One thing people get to know about me when they get to know me is that I am a well-rounded person. I like hip-hop. I like disco. I like Jazz and so on. Around that I will elevate my design thorough this inspiration. The farther I go away, the more information I get on my clothes; like through each state I travel through; I put inspiration onto the clothes. Like when I go to Chicago. There is a little piece in the designs for Chicago. Or if I go to Hawaii There would be a design for Hawaii. So it all depends on where I am at the time to come up with these creative designs and ideas. At the same time I don’t write none of this down. People can’t believe I can do it like that. It actually has elevated my creativity. Do you have any other artistic passions? Yeah I do. I do but I don’t really put them into the forefront because I fell in love with fashion. I just love the clothing part of the game so much. Are any of the many varieties of things you are interested in making you creative? I like roller-skating, I like bowling I like shooting pool and I like automobiles. I am an old school cat. I like all the old cars. I like that I can get em’ for nothing and it’s like when I am designing clothes. I take the car. I know what I want to do to the car and I make designs. I find out all the details to the car and it’s a privilege to come down the road in a 1998 Jag and get the respect of having an $80,000 car. Like for me that is one of the most exciting things in the world is when someone will see the car and stop me and say “I don’t even know what year it is but I love it... it is beautiful, it is gorgeous”... people that are not haters. Those are people I respect. That is what I get excited about. Most important I 19
