Dans les Coulisses
While on the run in Paris we also shot some amazing models from The Face management Paris with Mimi as the photographer, Ash of course on makeup, Garments and styling by Bishme Cromartie, and me shooting behind the scenes. Oh and Brother Marcus as our cultural guide lol.
Aligned
Tonight is the second installment of “Aligned” an Industry Mixer for the DMV artists to come collaborate, hear each others music and vibe out to the sounds of DJ Bri Mafia and Trilla Kay powered by 4TheDMV! Of course I’ll be there operating the photobooth and food by Chefe! First Aligned night was a banger! Literally my best night to date at the alumni working the booth. Much appreciation and respect to Bri for orchestrating these events, you forever Gang as far as I’m concerned. Come out support your local artists and see what youve been missing from the underground to mainstream talent in the DMV.

One Time For The Camera Man
In a world where your instagram profile is as important as your resume and every moment is documented whether its a birthday fit or a night out with the gang. But with everyone having a camera phone, the lack of respect for actual photographers is at an all time high lol.That being said, one of the greatest things about the Alumni is the Professional Photo Booth and being able to get that printed photo like back in the Gogo. Maybe its me being “old” but that was our first IG, a wall full of Gogo pictures.
Introducing the Go-Go Alumni Class of 2023!
I Really pulled up to Georgetown University with my work equipment and Curated a whole vibe. From printing the hoodies to taking the “yearbook” photos to being featured by the Washingtonian Magazine and Washington Informer Bridge Newspaper. We really had it up moe!
GoonMilk 10 Year Anniversary BTS Footage
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.
Canvas Kids
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.
Black Air Forces Energy
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.
RIP Terry
Mental Health is real.
I'm A Creative Genius
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.
