Be Glitterati 2011-12 Look Book


Check it out. At long last the Be Glitterati look book and store are live. Hit me up about any items not displayed in the store that you might be interested in.

"Be Glitterati is a t-shirt line born from the daily influences of Bermuda born, Halifax based designer and artist Duane Jones. The inspiration for this line includes everything from rap, culture, depression, to happiness and sex.

The glitterati are known as the fashionable set of society but we consider the glitterati to be anyone on the grind who will stop at nothing to fulfill their dreams. The way we see it: Anyone can “Be Glitterati”."

Jaro - Cherubim

Jaro - Cherubim
I'm almost a week late but cut me some slack, I've been busy okaaay! Anyway. Cherubim is a new mixtape from my man Jaro. Jaro is currently based out of Van City but we met as kids in Bermuda. I think we might have even had child-hood beef :). Jaro also spent some time in Halifax as member of the group, The Chronicles. My dude has now matured into a great artist that has been one of the few that I've seen to make hip hop that maintains a strong Bermudian identity without sounding "American". I think that the project is dope and feels authentic, beyond just a dude spitting slick bars. According to him, Cherubim is only a short preview of what's to come so we'll definitely be checkin for his next project. Here are some of my favs from the tape.

For my latest poster design for DalTheatre I decided to channel my inner Picasso while keeping the look consistent with my previous designs for this season. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Based on the research I did for this design, this looks to be an exciting show!

Glitterati Duane X Movember 2011

Movember,Glitterati Duane
A lot of people may not know this about me but cancer has had a major effect on my family, my wife's side and mine. Every year I pledge to so something about that and never do. This year I'm getting my mo on for Movember, hoping that I can raise at least a couple of dollars to help fight this disease. Donate to my page here. Thanks to my boy Dave for nudging me m-over the edge.
