THE MSTRPLAN "NEW DEAL" HOODIE 

      The MSTRPLAN brings to mind government conspiracy,

How exactly did you come up with the name The MSTRPLAN?

I wanted a name that was recognizable and also ominous sounding to go with the brands overall theme. I remember in high school, I would write design ideas and names into my binder or jot them down onto my phone's notepad. Two names that I had stood out were MIND CTRL and MSTRMIND. Both were ominous and I liked the somewhat abbreviated form they had been written down in. But as brand names, they didn't really click with me. After more brainstorming, I eventually realized that all masterminds have a scheme or agenda to push; their master plan. 

It was then that I decided to continue with the half abbreviated name convention and chose my brand's name to be The MSTRPLAN. In turn, my artist moniker became MSTRMIND.

Your brand asks customers to question what they believe as fact,

Do you think there are powerful people out there who control world events, like the Illuminati or other organizations powerful enough to rule the world?

They may not be in cahoots with one other to create these all encompassing organizations like the "Illuminati", but our world is definitely run by the powerful.

While I was looking at your designs I noticed a reoccurring theme that we should "trust the mstrplan"

  What is The MSTRPLAN, What kind of message do you want customers to get from your brand and designs? 

The MSTRPLAN is portraying the bad guy. With the brand, I try to point out the powerful, corrupt, and the clandestine. Some of my designs may seem to glorify these things, but the real goal is to show customers and viewers that this evil, underhanded type stuff is actually present in our world. I feel like it's a sort of ominous thing when you're told to trust something or someone. When I tell others to "Trust The MSTRPLAN" I want them to question what they're actually supposed to trust. 

With that said, I wan't my customers to look beyond the ads, their computer and t.v. screens, and the hype. They can listen, but I want them to question what they've been told and have them choose what they want to believe. 

What has been the hardest part about setting up The MSTRPLAN? 

The hardest part about The MSTRPLAN has been time, honestly. The MSTRPLAN is a one man operation and as a full-time student and having a part-time job, I find myself not having enough time to do everything I'd like to do for the brand. This includes some marketing and promotional imagery I'd like to get done as well as reaching out to other avenues to get word out about the brand. All of my brand time goes to developing designs, brainstorming product, and other ends like processing and shipment. 

This is why I truly appreciate those like you, Mythos/Ivan, who take time out of their lives to aid others in their ventures. Thank you for this opportunity.

Do you believe the MSTRPLAN will open up the eyes of people, help them see that life is theirs to control?

I think there's potential. Maybe they won't to come to the realization that "life is theirs to control", but if I can change someone's perspective and perhaps have them see things in a different way, I would be happy.

and,

If you had a chance to send one message and broadcast to the whole world, what would you say?

Never settle; as you progress in life, continue to work, continue to learn, and continue to question the world around you.
