WHY WIRELESS LOVE ART AND A VEGAN SKATE PARTY?
#LIVE

Naijha speaks with illustrator Donald Wooten about his upcoming "Love is Wireless" art show. Born in East Orange, NJ. The 2nd of 3 boys. Middle child. Donald grew up drawing. He went from comic books to graffiti. He put down the pencil and picked up the pen when the pictures started to deserve more than 1000 words. At the same time, he taught himself how to make beats on whatever tech he could find. All of that is present in his current style. Donald is a traditional Illustrator that uses the basic fundamentals to get the most soul out of software and inject them into whatever it is that he is designing for the people. Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop are his sword and shield. Stolen Outfitters or Stout or Stoutfitters is the brand.

Mission Statement:
"My work is Hip Hop culture (not rap music) crystallized. It is an intersection of traditional illustration and graffiti, pop culture, technology and reactions to oppression…and expressions of freedom…even if that freedom is acquired in death. [ In short, I draw Black people being black regardless of what that costs them…or me…b/c I am them, as they are me and we are one. ] I also embellish apparel via screenprinting, sublimation, DTF, and embroidery."

AND, Baltimore's own Michelle Stafford, The Diva Yogi will come and speak about her upcoming "Vegan Skate Party"!
