WTW: Describe yourself in three words.
CB: $ilk, Velvet, and Leather.
WTW: It's hard to be innovative & creative in the south. I applaud you for taking that leap. How have you made a name for yourself in Atl? What's your hustle?
CB: Thanks a bill. I always try to make a name for myself by marching to my own drum...and that's anywhere. In the "A" I've built key relationships with those who matter to my vision and focus. As far as a hustle, it's living. I have fun breathing.
WTW: What is your passion and when did you first fall in love with it?
CB: Art is definitely my main passion! It has my heart & lungs. I get super tainted over art in general. My grandparents showered us with sketchbooks, pastels, water paint, and coloring books growing up so I guess it was during that time I fell in love with art.
WTW: If someone where to spot you out & about, what would they most likely catch you wearing?
CB: Something foreign, borin', and not worth explorin'. Oh, and a tatt across my chest that says "Clever".
WTW: Who is one person that you would collab with, dead or alive?
CB: Emma Hope.
WTW: Tell me about your creative outlets from the past, present, and future (Strange Fruit, Chasworthbillions, An-mag).
CB: Titles like "Strange Fruit" and "Chasworth Billions" helped me create dope blogs and such-one being online with the popular magazine, Art Nouveau. Both continue to coincide with one another, allowing me to brand my name in creative ways through creative ventures.
WTW: Your relationship with the sneaker collecting has come to a pause. Why did you two take this hiatus?
CB: Sneaker collecting is an expensive sport and after 160 plus rare pairs...I'm broke & satisfied. I buy a rare pair here and there but not like I use to. Good thing being apart of the culture doesn't cost. Beeeesides, I rather skip in my own shoe.
WTW: What are your career goals, dreams, aspirations, etc?
CB: I create swell with both sides of my brain, therefore I am aiming to get paid for it. I would like to expand a business in creative consulting. I am also an aspiring shoe designer/store owner.
WTW: Who and/or what are you inspired by?
CB: My mind and the Sun. Both have the power to make people wake up or go to sleep.
WTW: Name one thing that is worth the weight to you.
CB: A coke line of good ideas.
WTW: Any last words?
CB: Peace, Blessings & Sunlight to Worth The Weight!
