The MO Interview Series Vol. 23: @AaronDewenn

After a brief hiatus, the 23rd edition of the MO interview series returns. Since its been a while I’m a reiterate the mission statement. The purpose of this series is to highlight individuals making waves in their particular lane. Why is this important? Well, it’s quite simple. For the longest we’ve been told there’s a certain way to “make it.” Well for the longest we’ve been lied to because…

The MO Interview Series Vol. 22: Zae Kinchen

Vol. 22 is here ladies and gentlemen, and much like last week we look to Richmond, Virginia for this week’s subject. We step back into the realm of hip-hop with RVA artist Zae Kinchen. Kinchen looks to separate himself from the pack with his unique brand of artistry and style. With his latest project dropping a couple of days ago, he’s definitely looking to apply pressure and put on for the RVA…

The 20th edition of the MO Interview series is finally here and it features someone who’s artistic ability shows through her various clients.

The MO Interview Series Vol. 18: Dejah Winston

“This is the generation of art,” said by my close friend/brother Wave Richardson. And after thinking for a bit, I realized he was right. Our generation, no matter what people may think of us, have great minds who do great work and express creativity in many forms. This interview series for the last few months have highlighted people who have constantly stepped outside of society’s constraints to…

The MO interview series Vol. 17: She.

As usual the goal of this series is to showcase the talents of young people who are constantly stepping outside of society’s box. This edition is no different, but what makes it special is this the first time I get to interview one of our own. Sherice Greene is also a member of Moboombox. Ironically, she’s the one who put the word in for me to even create these pieces. But, we aren’t here for…

The MO interview series Vol. 16: Maria Jones

Often times when artists put their brush to canvas they don’t just seek out the best picture, but also a work that is an embodiment of themselves. As with anything in life you look to have your work speak for you and that leads to passionate pieces that aren’t just some work done, but rather heart and soul exhibited in tangible form. Maria Jones is one of those creators who’s passion is to give…

The MO Interview Series Vol. 15: The Life Project RVA

Community outreach is something that really takes character. To really go out of your way to give others hope, a belief that someone cares is admirable. We actually need more people/groups that are willing to help those who may need it or the area that they come from. Alani Richardson (@AlaniRVA) thought this when she came home to Richmond to visit from college and this led to the foundation of…

The MO Interview Series Vol. 13: Mercizdope

Photography is an art form that can invoke many emotions and feelings. Those who get behind the camera lense look to tell a story. To the ignorant, one many think that it’s ridiculous to think that a picture can tell you anything, but like the old saying goes; a picture is worth 1000 words. Richmond photographer Roosevelt, aka, Mercizdope is someone who uses his art form to create those feelings…
