I’d like to thank everyone that came out this past Friday to celebrate my birthday aka G-Day. It was a wonderful evening of laughter, drinks and music. I’d like to thank Larry & David @ Santos for being such great hosts. Chad & Promise for holding down the door like they always do. The GFCnewyork family for their commitment and loyalty over the years. And The Black Apple for reminding us why everyone comes here to pursue their passions and dreams. This story is only beginning…

America NU Magazine Issue #1
Posted by Steve-O | Filed under Culture, Press, Style & Fashion
Check out our second magazine out of Dash Publications, America Nu Magazine. As Creative Director, I wanted to push my refined aesthetic even further to come up with something that feels classic! Between the two magazines (this and Karin + Raoul), working with Art Director David Barnett, Editor-In-Chief Raquel Horn (America Nu) and Editor-In-Chief Hassan Kinley (Karin + Raoul) was indispensable to my development as an artist. In the past 6 months my eyes have been opened to totally new art forms, aesthetics, and mediums (I plan on tackling sculpture) and I’m excited for what’s to come next. Thank you Dame, McKenzie, Raquel, Hassan, and Cynthia for allowing me to work alongside you to create these pieces of work. Check out America Nu and Karin + Raoul when you have a sec and provide your feedback.
BTW, The Black Apple is featured in this issue of America Nu, don’t miss out on that story.

Kwasi’s Black Apple Tattoo
Posted by kwasi | Filed under Culture
The Black Apple means so much to me I had to get it permanately inked on my body. Right below my Africa tattoo is the Black Apple. The mother land and the concrete jungle represent who I am and my state of mind, The Black Apple state of Mind.
