On Saturday, February 25, 2012, The Style Dolls and honeyBOOM joined forces to present a one-time vintage clothing sale and fashion preview: styleBOOM. Excuse the pun, but the event went out in a BOOM. With Chocolate Shop Vintage and Adriana Pavon adding on to the shopping experience, Detroiters were able to indulge in their retail tendencies and witness a runway showcase within the Detroit Fashion Collective space located in downtown Detroit. See the photos below, shot by Carl Jones, for the event highlights and runway show.

The holidays are fast approaching and perhaps you are looking to find some personal gifts for your loved ones.. well, might I suggest a customized painting by yours truly?

Many currently recognize me for other talents mostly involving fashion and hip hop, but my first love is with art. Pencil and paper was my thing as a kid, toys were secondary. I feel that I still apply my eye for aesthetics in other areas of my life, but my actual art skill is definitely cryptic to most.

Below are some examples of 20×30 canvas work with acrylic paint. The KRS1 piece was a custom job for a client, sold for $300. The following piece is titled, “Head in the Clouds, Feet on the Ground, Back to the Wall” – painting still available for $300.

For inquiries, contact me at risism.com@gmail.com ..prices vary with size and work.

P.S. Sintex is also another great artist to contact for custom paintings ;)
