Though I have been designing graphics for a little over 4 years, FUNKKy BLACKK was started in late December 2009. The concept arose out of necessity from having worked on my best friend's Myspace page and providing his internet presence with the graphic designs needed at the time. Teaching myself at first with image editing programs such as Net.Paint and Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and CS4, I began to realize that there was a need for graphic art with a more personalized touch..more than what I OBSERVED of the many images on Facebook, Myspace and the Internet in general. Please don't misconstrue what I'm stating here: There are a lot of good graphics out there; however it seems that the FUNKK in ART has been forgotten. Thus, FUNKKy BLACKK ©comes to your rescue catering to that funky, eclectic, artistic inner/outer vision. For instance, ordinary images, photos, logos and things we take for granted such as wash towel sets or bedsheet/spread -can get an eclectic and esthetically beautiful enhancement. Look around at any birthday party and tell me if the items used to setup the celebration are plain or what is on the line of "boring". FUNKKy BLACKK ©seeks to give our people their own personalized reflections and ideas of culture and get everyone off the fence..off the wall!
Imagine coming into your office or bedroom and getting to see a life-sized poster of yourself or family member hanging elegantly on the wall. What about a collage of your favorite musicians or simply a postcard of a cultural or spiritual icon? Now it's no secret that I really enjoy Funk music, yet I also embrace the art and culture that it blessed my life with. Well, I am sharing that same style and "feeling" and when I create a graphic design, it is for your pleasure. FUNKKy BLACKK© embraces the egocentricism of art and music and translates the meanings into a graphic delite. This PROJECT is capable of designing CD covers, business cards, commercial logos, magazine layouts but is more focused on "people" specific designs. There are 3 series that make a composite of what we do: FUNKK CHYLD© is the newest idea being inspired from the ever-emerging youth pop culture. Seeing the children express the funk as it Is -Is refreshing. My e.ROTIK FUNKK© series gives the consumer an opportunity to leave most of their inhibitions behind and send that special postcard or hang up that bad-girl or bad-boy poster. It's designs are for the bedroom too -where ever you do You! Finally there's FUNKKy BLACKK©..and she helps you to express your knowledge of original cultures and the esthetical nature of spirituality. If you are an amateur model or just a funkky individual who wants to get your image FUNKKED up then contact me on my Facebook page (see the sidebar). Well that's all for now..and coming soon I will have on display my designs for all of these series. A lot of work is involved in any project and all is asked is that you give much needed constructive feedback. Below is one of my favorites..enjoy
