As a teenager in high school, a vision materialized out of nowhere and sparked an idea in my head. I told one of my closest friends that I wished to launch a clothing brand, named Stylistic Tendencies, which emerged from my subconscious mind. During my last two years in high school, I indulged in art class and loved the freedom it provided me to express my inner creativity. Although my artistic skills were alright, I never pursued it seriously and after I graduated high school I did not touch or do any art for 10 years.
In 2018, I picked up a sharpie marker and drew my first piece, realizing that I had forgotten my artistic talents. A few months later, I purchased a marker notebook and embarked on a non-stop Art Mission, creating artwork that was improvised, freehand, with permanent ink and no references, in a digital organic style. This style of art I crafted was unique, appearing digital yet organically drawn. Eventually, I discovered my own style through consistency and rekindled my passion for art.
Excitement overwhelmed me, as I realized I could now create art for my clothing brand. In 2019, I printed my first shirt with my company logo, the DMT $ Sign. The DMT $ Sign is the logo of Stylistic Tendencies. This sign is a symbol from the Universe. What it stands for is you don't have to live a standardized normal life to create a living. You can create wealth whether that be (money, happiness, abundance, or pretty much anything) through your creative efforts/ doing what you love to do which is how this company was founded.
