ARTS QUARTER 2024
THE DICHOTOMY OF…
ARTS QUARTER : DEVELOPING NEW ART PROJECTS
The purpose of our Arts Quarter is to spend time researching, cultivating and developing new custom Artworks for branding and retail sale. The intent is to further develop products that are in harmony with our creative beliefs. As we maintain our dedication to classic yet innovative styles that represent and resonate with Communities and People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture, we’re looking to further develop pieces and products that test and enhance our creative capabilities. Prioritizing Environmental Aesthetics and Interior Decor, we’re developing Wall Art pieces that help to appreciate, encourage and inspire the communities we strive to serve and are already a part of.
Adhering to the 2024 theme of “The Dichotomy of…”, our custom works will shed light on Founder and CEO, William Burrell Philpot IV and his cultivated artistic persona; Artist, Designer and Photographer, Liam Ian Black. Showcasing thru work development is the difference between who this one man was versus who he has become. From the extensive varieties of life experiences that have shaped and informed his perspectives and identity, 2024 custom IP projects are to help manifest a number of pieces that reveal his truth as an Black and African American Man within this modern world. Forever ambitiously seeking the next level, quality, value, substance, communication, (as the Entrepreneur and CEO) William Philpot reviews to make a greater leap and transition into that of Liam Ian (as Artist, Designer and Photographer).
With end-game goals of storytelling and filmmaking in mind, 2024 promises to close out the loose ties of an old life to fully realize the next. Focusing more on The Passion of Creating as an African American Man, the artwork, products, projects and services being brought to market this year will assist in reaffirming and strengthening Communities and People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture as an effort to assist those needed answers and perspectives for the future.
Moving forward after 2024, we expect to be moving away from the format of Art and Artwork Development within our business model as to better incorporate other aspects of our business and who we are.

ART DIRECTION
Growing up heavily influenced by art styles hip hop and comics, I’m still informed and influenced by such. As we’re living in a time of more, we have too many options. Thru technology but less time, we feel less connected even though there are more connections. There are more artists, creators and influencers with less influence, less creative originality, and less artistic authenticity or the space to be seen and proven as authentic. We have more choices yet less clarity in what truly fits and represents who are as customers, clients, consumers and communities. Our own individualities now often get lost when using products made by others to identify and convey who we are...or think we are.
This Arts Quarter, we’re focusing our efforts to combine different and varying artistic disciplines to address the identities of the modern Person of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. Employing a symbolism to the current and modern social and socio-economic situations of the diverse Communities of Color, we’re developing—and working with other artists to develop—works that transcend the paradigms, perspectives, ideas and concepts of the day. Most prominently is the use of Inspired Abstract Art with Cartoon or Illustration. The effort is to manifest the luxury appeal and application of Abstract Art to levels that are more Urban and base-level as Cartoon and Illustration. This artistic direction adheres to our 2024 theme “The Dichotomy of…”
Our imagery is still to Encourage and Inspire People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture.

We’ve engaged in an extensive process to research and develop works that cater to the interests of those who appreciate Art at its greatest potential…especially in representing Black and African American People and other People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture within the modern day. We’ve not limited our search to those entities and platforms that are specifically Art oriented but also those that use Art as a way of a refined life.
