This post is for the laaaaadies! If you are anything like me, a little obsessed with fashion but not quite willing to throw down the big bucks on those gotta have pieces….you’ll love this new website, Suddenly Darling. It is full of fashion trends and tips for girls- cute outfit ideas, celeb styles, fashion boards, hair tips, interviews, and even their own store.
I sat down with Katelyn and Sara of Suddenly Darling last week for a quick interview on my work, both in art and fashion. check out the clip below or CLICK HERE.
Here is a snapshot of some of the DARLING pieces you can find on the site!
Thanks to the amazing work of videographer Russell Brownley, Jedidiah has a new branding video up on the homepage of our website. Check it out. (may take a minute to load)
La Chureca Exhibit – A photographic journey through the trash dump of Managua,Nicaragua presented by Common Grounds in Waco, Texas.
On April 26th i took part in an event in Waco Texas called the “La Chureca Exhibit”. La Chureca is a town in the heart of Managua, Nicaragua. The city trash dump has become the home of hundreds of people who depend on the garbage for their livelihood, their food, and their shelter. In March, I took a trip to the dump with a non-profit organization called Love Light and Melody who is dedicated to battling the physical, emotional, and spiritual effects of extreme poverty here. This is where I met Jill Nashburn, owner of Common Grounds : a thriving coffee shop and music venue in Waco, Texas. In attempts to raise awareness about the trash dump communities and fight social injustice…she gathered together artists, musicians, and photographers from all over to join forces for an event she called “La Chureca Exhibit”.
Austin Blasingame (a fellow artist and friend from Florida whom i also met in Nicaragua) met up with me in Texas to paint a large scale mural for the event. We wanted the mural to focus on community and bringing people together; sharing love and breathing life into the hearts of others. Love, acceptance, and hope is what gives us wings and helps us fly.
On February 8, 2008 Jedidiah and thegluenetwork.com rallied their friends, family and the local community of San Diego to STAND UP for homeless youth across the US. Hosted by the Airport Lounge in downtown San Diego, STAND UP was a night of live art, music, and social awareness intended to raise money for Stand Up For Kids (a non-profit organization that exists to empower homeless and at-risk youth toward life-long personal growth).
Upon entering, attendees were invited to donate their old cell phones to SUFK and have their picture taken while sharing their “imagine if…”
The Airport Lounge proved to be a perfect venue to host the event. Braille, Theory Hazit, Ohmega Watts, and DJ Trent Dean pumped out the jams as slides were projected on the blank white walls of the the posh airport reminiscent inside bar. The main attraction was outside where a bunch of us artists got together….Johnny Rodriguez, Ekundayo, Pancho, Eukarezt and many more collaborated on a 16′ X 8′ mural. The walls in the outside courtyard were laced with artwork from the Ground Up Pirates, an artist collective from Hawaii who made the trek out from the Islands to participate in the event.
