E-Scent-Chew
First and foremost prayers up to our essential workers in this pandemic carrying the whole country on their back. This Coronavirus has produced some of the wildest circumstances and occurrences that I’ve ever seen in my 31 years. Crackhead Boxing Matches for money, IG live is actual television, People can’t sit still, The Beaches are opening but not the Barber shops and Salons… Sorry I haven’t posted anything in a while I’ve honestly just been keeping my head down, working, minding my business, and trying to keep my mind off all this madness. I bought a new camera and thats really all my mind has been on; where i’m gonna shoot, who, how I’m gonna edit it, just learning how to create in a new art form, not really new to me but with my first professional camera of my own..
The Winner of the #DrawAGoonChallenge is…..
This contest was one of the best ideas I’ve had this year and really connected a lot of artists and art enthusiast to not only the brand but to dope artists not only around the area DMV area but the world! The goal was to network and fuel collaboration through art and not some marketing ploy to gain from unbeknownst consumers. The entire competition was organic and just a creative way to pass the time. I’m glad we did this and there will be many more! Until then go place your @AmariDanielle x GoonMilk Shirt orders!
An Homage to Rap Lyrics
Highest human act is to inspire.
I’ve been inspired by so many one liners through rap music it was only right I pay homage to some of the quotes that push me through any negative situation. A lot of times we dissect the lyrics of songs and attribute them to our own lives as affirmations or reminders that we are great, life could be worse, or to not care at all. Even the song “I don’t stress” is a “guaranteed get out of a shitty mood” song for me. So I figured why not create something that fuses fashion and that inspiration into something I can wear and inspire others.
RIP Chynna
The creative community took another lost yesterday as we found out that Philly’s sweetheart Chynna has passed due to an Overdose. I’m literally at a lost for words because of the mutual friends we have that are hurting right now, as well as shocked at the fact that so many of us young adults are dealing with addictions that most people will never know about. Me and Chynna weren’t close, we’ve run into each other through multiple times through the many intertwining music/art/fashion networks. A young bright talent that showed me and Pat around Philly’s trenches when we hadn’t a clue of where to go or what to do. I pray your soul is at peace now and this inspires someone to create and also inspires people to re-evaluate life and their vices.
#DrawAGoonChallenge Submissions 1-8 are 🔥
Cant even lie you guys are coming with some heat! The first 8 submissions are from a few of some of my favorite artists and a few i’m just getting into and that was the goal; to inspire are from any and everyone and promote each other while were on this lock down. Im excited to work with you all in some way or another if ou don’t win the challenge! Keep bringing the heat!
Draw-A-Goon CoronaVirus Quarantine Drawing Contest!
Lets see who can draw their best interpretation of what a “Goon” is to them! As we all are shut in due to the Covid-19 epidemic I had an idea to collaborate with artists as well as put some money in someones pocket, all while promoting the brand and creativity. The Artwork doesn’t have to be Michelangelo’s Sistine chapel, or a drawing at all, if you have a slogan or t shirt design that you want to get off, submit that as well. Im looking at this as everyone’s chance to be a designer for a day and create a new revenue stream through social distancing as well as social networking. Thats how you turn a negative into a positive and Get Out Of Negative Situations!
Told Virgil write “Brick” on my Brick
Virgil Abloh and Nigo team up on a Louis Vuitton collection for the fall and it is fire!

From Paris with LoVe
Don C and Kristen Noel Crawley are fashionably my favorite couple. If I had to model a high end luxury relationship in 2020 it’d be these two, followed by “College Dropout” Kanye and Alexis Phifer or Pharrell and Vashtie in 04. That’s my top 3 fashionable couples of all time. Honorable mention ASAP Rocky and Chanel Iman.
Happy Birthday MLK!
In 2020 we are still hanging on to your dream and fighting the good fight against racism, social injustice, and civil rights for all people of the world. Not many know the history of our nation and the atrocities you fought to the death to bring to light and to bring change to.
G.O.O.N.S. Dont Die, We Multiply
Tomorrow the second Cartoon Capsule collection will release. An ode to one of my favorite movies as a kid, “Bebe’s Kids”. Putting a spin on the movie’s motto “We Bebe’s Kids we don’t die, we multiply” and using hand drawn characters by my bro Mike Mike he did for me a few years ago.
God Bless the Homeless
My favorite living Artist Banksy brings awareness to Homelessness in his latest Christmas mural in Birmingham.
Ear to the Streets
Few solid Projects dropped the passed few weeks including Roddy Ricch’s debut Album “Please Excuse Me For being Antisocial” as well as Fabolous’ “Summertime Shootout 3: Coldest Summer Ever”.
29 Rooms Washington DC
Touring Art Exhibits 29 Rooms hit Washington DC’s National Armory this past month. Photo Ops on top of Photo Ops and a dance break room. Footage by GoonMilkTV.
Role Model: Lakeith Stanfield
Many of you know him from his co-star role on hit series Atlanta starring Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino, or ten minute role in the instant cult classic “Get Out”. But the brother is much, much brighter than the limelight has shown him in these occurrences. For one, he is outright Black, and I mean that in the strongest connotation possible, also Stanfield is advocating Black advancement in entertainment. One of the reasons he has become one of my favorite actors in Hollywood.
Writers live Twice.
BRING BACK DEF POETRY JAM!

Mice in the White House?
Where’s Waldorf is live the entire collection dropped midnight last night and already selling pretty well so definitely don’t loaf on this collection, no telling when they’ll sell out. Me personally I love the joggers and the Socks out from the collection. The company I go through for the printing is A1 and the apparel is always true fitting, with a soft hand feel. It is officially sweatsuit SZN! so we had to come correct with the hoodies and crewnecks all at reasonable prices! Plus we always offer free shipping with the “SUPPORT” promo code!
Where’s Waldorf?
This fall our first capsule collection “Where’s Waldorf” is inspired by the classic Where’s Waldo books. But a DMV(DC, MD, VA) version playing off the on going DC/MD jokes of inclusion with the city of Waldorf which is 45 minutes outside of Washington, DC.
Tribute to the Great
