Artists Spotlight: Male Model & Designer Joquann Montgomery

When this gentalmen first contacted me about being featured in Artists Spotlight, I read his bio and I was blown away by the determination that he possesses to succeed in a very difficult industry. What's his chosen industry? Well, of course it's fashion silly! Joquann Montgomery is inspiring Male Model and Clothing Designer. Modeling in several shows, Mr. Montgomery has developed a signature style all his own. His inspiration and motivation for creating new and innovative peices are his three children Xavier, Sa'Mya, and Cameron. Not only is Joquann pursuing his dreams in the fashion industry by developing an array of talents, that have multiple degrees of challenges; he is also an example of what a father should be. As a father he is showing his children how important it is to have a dream, chase the dream, and live the dream. In regards to how he plans to reach his goals Mr. Montgomery said "my goals are to make it big by any means necessary in life without losing myself,and morals to life in the process." ~ Joquann Montgomery 

Gaining experience from working with renowned designers such as, Sneakah Boutique who has worked with the recording artist Fabolous; he's also worked with Guy Benson, D'Wayne Reade of OxyFly Clothing, and aspiring young designers from Bergan Community College, Mr. Montgomery is in the process of developing his own clothing line for men and women called "AURA" with partner MAMBA MUTELA, and an expected launch Summer/Fall of 2015. 

As an artist, I'm proud that this duo has team up to create one of a kind, original designs. It's not easy to start from scratching any industry, but the fashion arena is by far the most difficult and the road ahead will not be easily traveled; but I for one have faith that when all is said and done I will be able to say that I had the pleasure of being the FIRST Blogger/Writer that had the opportunity to have had help them reach stardom of which I am sure they will have.

Artists Spotlight: Abe Pascual Owner/Artist of Magnitude Tattoos

The best part of supporting other artists, is knowing them personally. Abe Pascual is an amazing, and passionate tattoo artist. How do I know this? Because I've worked with him on my most recent tattoo designed by myself and made into reality by Mr. Pascual. 

Mr. Pascual has been A tattoo artist/owner of Magnitude Tattoos for over six years. As a self-taught artist, Mr. Pascual  has his studio full of books, magazines, and other media that assist him with ideas on creating one-of-a-kind unique pieces. But copying images from books is not his only talent, he also creates his own artistic images by taking into account the personality of his client. For him as an artist it's not enough to be able to simply copy an image, but to bend and molded it into something truly unique and different that will satisfy the clients particular vision for self-expression through body art, and that's exactly what he did for me when I came to him with an idea to do something totally different, and never seen before. Let's take a peek inside the studio:

When I was younger, like most young people the first thing I wanted to do was get tattoos on my body as a means of self-expression. Now that I'm older I realize that getting a tattoo for the sake of getting a tattoo is not the smartest thing. If you're going to get a permanent staple on your body such as a tattoo in my opinion, you have to get something that speaks to who you are. For years I was undecided as to what I wanted to add to my repertoire of tattoos. When I decided to become a full-time writer/blogger it became clear what I wanted to put on my body that I thought was a great representation of who I am. So, between the our meeting of the minds we came up with this design:

So being a writer, the figure that came to mind was to get a pen. But that seemed to basic to me and I've never been a basic person, so I decided to elaborate on that idea and make it more grandiose. That's when I decided that I would play on the words, "The pen is mightier than the sword." So I decided to use an Arabian Sword and have it shaped into a fountain pen and have it write out the word 'FREEDOM' to me writing meant freedom. Artistic elaboration were added by Mr. Pascual to give the design more depth. It's those additions that made the end result spectacular! Check out my new ink!

Admittedly out of all the ink I have on my body to date; this one by far is the best. Not because I designed it, but because it was a collaborative effort between two artists with a vision. To create such a unique peice that is going to be a permanent fixture on someone's body, the artists have to understand each other and believe in the end goal of the project.
