A "Big" Beautiful F**king Mess

I believe all this beauty shit started back in undergrad. You see, once upon a time I attended a medium sized HBCU in Virginia. After getting a healthy dose of freshman college basketball politics, I found myself, perhaps for the first time, unenthused by the game that I loved so deeply. I was ten-plus hours away from home and with splinters in my ass from riding the bench, I was looking for an outlet. So in search of a release, I did what any straight man with a 7 to 1 women to men ratio would do-- I studied. That's right I began studying. Applying myself in the most rigorous and intentional of ways. The subject at-hand you ask?

#CONNECTID Chad Cordeiro: dgi Studio Johannesburg,

In episode 3 of #CONNECTID I talk to artist and printer Chad Cordeiro of dgi Studio in Johannesburg, South Africa. This particular segment is a little different from the first two installments. This was an impromptu discussion and I was lucky enough to have my camera with me (but not my audio equipment). I also start the video off by letting you know how an unrelated encounter in London 10 months prior connected me to dgi Studio. It's hard to fathom how intertwined this world is at times.
