So I finally got my hands on some footage from the 10 year anniversary art gallery back in January thanks to my good man Nathaniel Gdchyld of @MomentxHunterMedia.

GANG ONLY

Last Friday I had the chance to devote some time towards our youth. It was my pleasure to be present especially in a time where Role Models are scarce, there’s a much larger generational gap that’s continuingly growing. These kids are smarter, more advanced than ever before at their age.

Couple weeks ago we celebrated Mother’s Day with a Dinner Date to Shoto and Brunch at the new apartment! Ash wanted to have a brunch for all the mamas in the gang, and I just wanted to eat good lol.

In our culture sneakers are held on a pedestal alike no other culture. We dont play about our shoes. Furthermore as you dive deeper into the subculture of sneaker culture, certain shoes even have certain rules or stereotypes that follow them. Air Force Ones being one of those pairs that people anywhere recognize and low key judge your character by the color you choose to wear. White Air force ones, are a first day of school staple for my generation, 2 pair for $100 at footlocker was a steal that most parents took advantage of. But black air forces on the other hand get the “bad boy” connotation and represent a different breed of struggle. GoonMilk being a STREETwear brand you already know we embrace the dark side and turn those negatives into positive and lucrative opportunities.

The Ten Year Anniversary Gallery was an amazing experience. Not only did the Brand receive so much love from the gang and my support system but from total strangers as well. Showcasing 26 original portraits with AR capabilities that blew people away as they recorded each piece on their phone. Toasted to the great times of the past and the ones to come in the near future.

Wow almost two months late, just now getting around to updating you guys on life at 34. It’s different to say the least

Two weeks ago Stefon Diggs threw a Black Owned Marketplace in the middle of the City at Franklin Park with LA Black Owned Brand Builder out of LA, Black on the Block. The LA Based event ran by Char Edwards, and her sister if I’m not mistaken. Char actually modeled for the GoonMilk brand a few years ago when she was an undergrad at Howard before moving to LA. The event was flooded with good vibes and a ton of vendors. I wish I knew earlier it was gonna be such a great turnout, I would’ve had a table out there but sometimes being a customer is cool to especially when everything’s black owned.

Happy Father’s Day to all the outstanding men who are great Dads and lead by example out here.

The first twelve 1 of 1 hand drawn NFTs are available to purchase here. Each NFT will be accompanied by a signed 16x24 canvas print, GoonMilk hoodie, and VIP access to the Goonmilk 10 year anniversary Art Show coming later this year!

The next step toward my debut Art show is already in motion, currently shopping around venue ideas and possible sponsors to create one of DC’s first Virtual Reality NFT Art show.

If you read my blog you know I recently was apart of LongLiveGogoDC’s Mumbo Connection Fashion Show at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Not only did I walk in my first fashion show but had the opportunity to have my own scene to present my brand as well. It was a last minute opportunity I wasn’t gonna pass up.

Had the pleasure of being the inaugural guest on my Guy @Tommy_Picklz new Podcast at The Washington Informer, called “Tom Talks”. We spoke on the brand’s inception and where I am now with life and fashion. How and when we became friends, and how much has changed since then.

The Olympics has exposed its.ugly racist ways and people are surprised at what we already knew. They will find any and every way to try to keep black people from advancing as the champions we are. Bogus swim cap bans, absurd rulings against missed tests due to an abortion, Suspensions for THC in a state that ruled THC a legal substance. All rules that may be rules but in 2021 there should be some type of adjustment to rules 50 years old or however long the olympics been running.

Major shoutout to IDK and the Clue team for throwing a dope event Monday at the Oakcrest Community Center in my hometown city of Capitol Heights, Maryland. Also thank you to the homie James for plugging me with the Project KKIDD team to print the jerseys and staff shirts for the event. Not only was it my pleasure doing business but it felt good giving back to our community here in PG County. As well as seeing all my guys hooping, Getting a couple autographs from IDK and Quinn on my Lakers Jersey, and a free Gogo show. Ash and I had a ball and its funny because a year ago we were just meeting at a free new impressions show for the community. Our Baby’s gonna have gogo in his/her blood for sure lol our little bounce beat baby.

The New GoonMilk Puff Print Sweatsuit is now Available in the shop!

I set a few goals for 2020 and looking back at this Recap I literally crushed every single one of them two-three times over. 2021 will be even greater because if you can survive everything 2020 threw at you, you can withstand anything. Literally the worst year the world has seen in the last 50 years, more deaths than any war the world has seen, Global warming, Kobe, Aliens, Trump, Police Brutality, Covid, Wild Fires, Tsunamis, Twin Hurricanes at the same time, the Election… It was all bad. But the motto is Getting Out Of Negative Situations so that’s exactly what I did. Made lemonade out of Lemons, a way out of nothing, and documented every step of the way.
