Arthur & Aiesha Wright Promo/Trailer

This week I'd like to share a promo I did for an upcoming short documentary I'm working on. I had the pleasure of being able to interview Arthur and Aiesha Wright, a father and daughter artist team right here in Chicago. I was amazed by the art they produced as well as what goes into making each piece. Their work can be seen at Nicole Gallery and Hidden Pearl just to name a few. Check out the clip below.

verge connected: The Audacity of Nicole Smith documentary

For the past 4 years I've had the honor and priviledge to put together a short documentary for Gallery D'Estee. Gallery D'Estee is an annual art exhibit put together by the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Each year they honor a local legend in the art world with an award and a biographical documentary. This years, the honor went to Nicole Smith of Nicole Gallery. It was amazing hearing her story and learning the history behind the gallery and her career as an art collector. I've posted the documentary in 3 parts ( part 1 is below) so anyone who wasn't at the event can check out her words and the art of the gallery. If you would like to see part 2 and 3, check out my youtube page at youtube.com/svsprojects.

verge connected: Drunken Monkee at The Dark Room

We are trying out Wednesday as the official Verge Connected blog entry day. This week we are showing a performance clip from one of my personal favorites (probably one of yours too) Drunken Monkee. If you’ve never been to a Drunken Monkee performance I encourage you to find out where he will be and get there. Drunken Monkee is an amazing performer as well as a musician. This was shot at the Dark Room will be a part of the upcoming hip hop documentary that is in production. Check out the clip.
