I mean, I love how she does it, but.Īll red, I might get killed going to LA. All white is pretentious, all black is obvious. What color would that be? And settling on grey being the least insane color to choose to wear every day. She’s been wearing green for a crazy number of years. And then I saw the green lady from New York. And then Jay-Z has a lyric, “might wear all black for a year straight”, which probably was part of it as well. What would my uniform be? Is it going to be military? Is it going to be blue collar? Going through these different ideas. It was more, o kay, I know that information, then time passes and oh, I want a uniform. It wasn't like everyone has a uniform, so I want a uniform. So, me knowing that influenced the idea, but not directly.
Part of it was some of my favorite artists, like Andy Warhol and even Picasso had a uniform. Different things kept happening that would lead me to that.
And like the cover art thing, or just any kind of idea for me, it wasn't like an 'aha' moment where I decided to wear all grey every day forever. You’ve been wearing all grey for over seven years now. I know artists that would drop more music if they had album covers or single artworks. So, it had something to do with that, for sure. I won't say that it was me directly trying to figure out what I can do for local artists, but the idea was definitely born in that time period of transitioning into working with established artists versus local artists. I think the idea was born in the void of not being able to do as much for local artists. When I started doing bigger artists and industry stuff, the time that I had to do work for local artists wasn't there anymore. All my friends make music, and I did videos and covers for all of them for years. Can you tell me more about the app and why you wanted to create this platform for upcoming artists?Įven before I worked with Rocky, or bigger artists like that, I was working with local artists that's how I started realizing that I wanted to do this kind of thing for a living. Having worked with established artists like him on their cover art, you've now developed the Cover Art Studio app. Even Rocky, one of the main things I do around him is kind of listening to what's going on and being like, 'oh, I think this is missing.' Or 'oh, I think we should do this with all the information that I just took in.' So, I think it works for me. I use my skills of simplifying, even when I'm adapting to other people's styles and ways of working. But in the context of being a creative consultant, it works because I have to be what I need to be in any given situation.
One of my weaknesses is that I am impressionable.
Do you find it easy to adapt to other people's style and make that work? Is that something that comes easy for you? You do have quite a minimalist style, but then you work with artists like Rocky, who I've seen you describe as a maximalist. And so I'd say I'm an observer and a simplifier. I think I have an ability to simplify complex ideas into an image or a couple words. How would you describe yourself as an artist?Īn observer.
