Beautiful Waste Series
artwork by Charnier Corey
"In Beautiful Waste, I am looking at the amount of personal waste I produce thru my various daily activities rituals and vices. Since 2004 I have been collecting my personal waste in the form of candy wrappers, food/drink packaging, blunt wrappers and various packages of consumable products. I have not saved every item I have used and some items have been discarded because they were mistaken for trash. The items that remain I have used to create a conversation about the way we view waste and the things we regard as perishable items. It is also a dialogue about how perception is changed when common items usually regarded as having no value after their initial purpose has been exhausted can be reused to create objects of beauty.  I have included magazines, newspaper and books as well, as these items seems to be discarded or put away after they have been consumed. 
I have reused the various items to create pics of Nike Air Force 1 model sneakers. These are highly coveted shoes that a niche group of individuals spend as much as $800 to customize and more than that for exclusive releases of the shoe. The customization process my shoes have under gone is one that repurposes "trash" and fashions it as "sneaker treasure"."

Man OverBoard









Man Overboard

Sea,
I watched
As my youth was charted
Like a highway route
Crossing all major neighborhoods
Pit stopping for the subterranean
In the hopes of discovering
The truth behind
"What's tough enough?"

As a child I was told,
Man up!
To me, that was tough.
Displaying masculinity with the 'cuffs
Shooting the five without the interrupts
Except that became my familiar route
To evaluate the measure of the toughness in my youth

But,
Not tough enough is what
Got my mother cussed
When or if she protested
Successfully

Got Ronnie Barnes killed
And big Ron's front teeth knocked out
After he was put into a sleeper hold

Tough enough
Got brothers snuffed for playing tough
Got sisters pushed for not being pushovers
Got friends locked up for protesting causes
Got neighborhoods removed
Then moved to somewhere else
A place some people call --
A better neighborhood

Tough enough
Got babies wanting to be grown before they grow.
Got men receding growth cause they can't envision the view.

Tough enough
Taught genders to switch roles
And, then disregard the meanings of such.
Removed the hearts of fathers
Causing them to forget to say I love you
In the morning afternoon or evening

Tough enough
Never taught me much
So how was I expected to know Tough enough could never be enough
When I was told,
Man up!

The Argument...




































The Argument

She
Screamed
"Who's
Panties
Are THESE
Auburn
Satin
Stringed
The owner must be a fling!
Barely one seam
On these THINGS
No space
For a tag
Oh my God, what a skank!
"Who
Could wear
Such a THING
She continued to scream,
"They look like wire
For a
Circus contortionist
Whose
Panties
Are THESE!",
She repeated the order.
Must be yours he retorted
And then... she fumed,
"I
Don't wear
Such
Skanky THINGS!"
And with the resolve of a king,
A man possessed by a dream,
He replied:
Well...
Maybe u should

Air Jordan VII Bordeaux = "Retreaux"

This is the last pair of Jordan VII's to be retro'd in the OG colorway. MJ debuted these in the 1992 NBA Allstar Game (Magic's return with the "bubble") and he also wore these in the JAM video with the original MJ (RIP). I think the shoes speak for themselves...and they are screaming, "SWAG!!!" These will be re-released in April '11 (I already got mine).
