Inspiration of the week (4)
This week's Inspiration of the week post goes to a man I work very close with. The world on a major scale may not know Stephen Jacobs, but the man has impacted the community largely.
As founder of the non-profit organization Kids Creative, Stephen has taught many to be tolerant of other's ideas and has united a large group of people as creative equals from adults to children.
Born and raised in Minnesota(U.S.) Stephen grew up in the arts especially close to music playing guitar and bass. He is a core member of the children's rock band named The Dirty Sock Funtime Band which plays silly kid songs and has been featured on Noggin's Jack's Big Music Show.
Stephen has also been a middle school English teacher and still teaches in Kids Creative programs all across the city. He tours with the Dirty Socks singing, playing guitar and writing songs that even adults can have a good time to.
The reason the man is such an inspiration is because when you follow his work he promotes creativity, instills confidence in the youth, and has a history of work that has done nothing but help to build up the community. He is actually my personal studio guitar and bassist who has helped with tracks such as my Billie Jean 2009 and you can look forward to see that he is one of the executive producers of my album "A Musician's Tale" which is coming soon. He personally helps to keep me in a state of mind that is always receptive to all creativity in the air and helps to produce a strong and positive product.
We love you Stephen

Let your heart show!!!
Some of my artwork. Self explanatory. Look into the colors and see what you think it all stands for. For example words are "Blue and green". What could that possibly represent?

Mammatus clouds???
Kinda funny that I blogged this last week and didn't think much about it, but check this out . . . Kinda has more relevance than I thought
Who would have known that this sight would be something known as mammatus clouds? I grew up in New York City and I am in no way shape or form an ignorant person, but my knowledge of nature is very limited. This is just me being honest. But I decided after seeing this video to do some research on this type of clouds. Check this out . . .

Inspiration of the Week -Week3
Summer has begun, and its the first week of July. The Fourth is here in just a few days. With that being said, this weeks inspiration is an American painter by the name of Archibald Willard.
Archibald Willard fought in a volunteer army in the American Civil War. He also painted many different scenes from the war. Very little is know about Archibald Willard.
What we do know is that he painted "The Spirit of '76", Previously known as "Yankee Doodle"
This painting was slept on by art critics of the time. They compared it to a cartoon.
BUT it caught the attention of the public eye. So Williard painted several variations of the now-famous scene. The original is believed to be displayed in Abbot Hall (Marblehead, Massachusetts)
"Spirit of 76" is such an Interesting name. In 1776 The Declaration of Independence was written and signed. America Declared it was Independent and free from the rule of Great Britain.
America was basically saying " We are Free, No one Rules Us"
In the Present day I feel that our generation is the Generation Of the Free.
Freedom to Do what you want and explore life and all its Goodness.

For those of you unfamiliar with his inspiring work, I'd recommend you at least get on google. Here's a quick write up.
Vaughn Bode was born in Utica, New York in 1941. The self-proclaimed "cartoon gooroo" was one of the most influential American cartoonist of our times. His style inspired animated movies such as Ralph Bakshi’s cult feature WIZARDS, as well as the look of the graffiti art that began in New York City and spread all over the world.
Best known for his character CHEECH WIZARD, which appeared in National Lampoon between 1971 and 1975, Vaughn Bodé was an incredibly prolific artist. His works include COBALT-60, DEADBONE, JUNKWAFFEL and MACHINES.

Inspspiration of the week - week 2
Even when you look at dance . . . Since the beginning of time there has been dance, and it has evolved into so many styles, but when you look at MJ you see that he is a dance entity of his own. So when you talk about the man, he has now become a part of the vocabulary of entertainment.
I myself am an artist, and the man has inspired me to grow past any other artistic norms. And although I am a Hip Hop artist, I still needed him to have the perception of the world I have today. A few months ago I actually made a re-make to his "Billie Jean" record because I thought it was a really creative and fun record. Historically it even serves as a monument, because "Billie Jean" was the first African American video to be played on MTV. With my version, I tried to put my own flip and add some humor to it to make it more urbanized and modern but I could not have made the record without Micheal coming first.
Its sad that the world didn't get to see what else he had to bring forth with his art. I was really anxious to hear the new album.
However I know that his music will always last and give us a moment of dance, escape, and in the right setting with songs like "Man in the Mirror" something to reflect upon in our own lives and better ourselves.
We will miss you MJ.

In remembrance give a listen to this. . . . My version of Billie Jean. and think of MJ's quote . . . "Never settle for nothing less than great!"

Inspiration of the week - week 1
So here's the 1st of a series of posts you will start to see here from week to week. Lethal Inspiration is soon to come to you with a new season of clothing and we want you to take a step further into the "Lethal Mindset".
Week one features the one and only "2-Pac"
Born June 16, 1971 as Tupac Amaru Shakur, "2-Pac" has been a big inspiration to us and to many as a rapper, actor, poet, philosopher, and social activist. Pac had an aggressive rhyme style and a wealth of knowledge. Many look at his career as the birth of a rebellion and, his music as well as the roles he played as an actor were empowering in such a way that he played on the emotion of anger to pump you up to do something about the situations of negativity in one's life.
2-Pac found his way to fame through initially being a roadie and backup dancer for the alternative hip hop group Digital Underground. His childhood years was inspired by his mother "Afeni Shakur" who was a black panther, and his school days in The Baltimore School for the Performing Arts.
Being the rebel and activist he was, as well as being around "Ghetto" affiliates Pac did some jail time where you can see some of his writing started to boom. With more poetry, and even scripts written I think the time allowed Pac to delve deeper into his inner self.
Unfortunately on the night of September 7, 1996, Shakur was shot four times in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. He died several days later of respiratory failure and cardiac arrest at the University Medical Center on September 13, 1996.
“My mama always used to tell me: 'If you can't find somethin' to live for, you best find somethin' to die for.” -Tupac Shakur

Gaspar Claus and Pedro Soler
I found this video very interesting and inspirational. The way it was put together artistically from a film analyzer's point of view is pretty sick too. Angles and perspective were really toyed with which gave you a better all around insight to the production of this short.
