Hello Readers!
I've completed my final interview with Mr. Black Da Vinci himself. The young and talented, J. Alex, created his line of hand painted clothes and accessories with their own funky vibe. His says that his inspiration derives from his DC background where he started spray painting shirts and wearing them to school. The rest was history. His line was created.
J. Alex is about to make a move from NYC to the ATL so instead of me traipsing through the organized chaos of packing up, we decided on a phone interview. It went well, I mastered the art of one handed typing because the phone kept sliding down my shoulder. His designs are amazing and he sent me some photos of him in different stages of creating his shirts.

J. Alex is also the proud papa of a darling little girl. I had to call him "Super dad" because he uses the few hours of her nap time to sketch and design. Sometimes has to hold her in one arm and draw with the other because even at her young age she knows that she is "Daddy's Little Princess".
He is not stopping at just hand painted designs. The Black Da Vinci creator has plans of getting into graphic designs. He is currently taking courses in graphic design since his previous college for undergrad did not offer many courses. He plans to take all of his experience and skill and one day merge with his fiancee (an event coordinator) to plan larger events and expand his line. Atlanta should keep an eye out for this emerging power couple.
Well, the fun part is complete and now it is time to edit my video and write up profiles of this three dynamic designers.
Keep your fingers crossed!
Until next time,
Lauren
