Tired of working under someone else’s ideas and beliefs we cut ties with everything and became liberated. To become and give it all to art.. If we were gonna be miserable or happy it needed to be on our own volition and ideas. Traveling really opened our minds and our possibilities that reality is one you create. Not one that you just accept and live out.
We both left lucrative jobs. Jeremiah Taylor was the art director of a major salon ranked in the top 25 in the nation, and Justin Vallee’ the owner of a landscaping business that he built from scratch; tired of our grind and our situation we decided a change had to come. Sick of the way we were being sold an told how to live, in this bastardize, Tv. praised, pop culture of a driven idea on how life and success ought to be. We see success and the pursuit of it a bit different.
With that being said, we share some of the same views and dreams about art. Submerse yourself in art to become it.
It’s a place where your honest with yourself and the idea of expressing it, in anyway you feel inspired to do so. It’s like a new renaissance man. One who paints, builds, invents, graffiti, street poetry, clothing designers, photography, Hair cutting, anything really that involves self exploration and expression. It’s way where you can brand your look, idea, or feeling. It’s for the 2square kid,. the ones like us in school that couldn’t keep focused on any one thing in particular, And the system told us we would fail or not succeed if we didn’t stay focused on just one thing. When the absolute essence of who we are as people and artists is to be stimulated and be inspired by all things. Thats why the philosophy of all arts are intertwined and related. We believe they stem from the same place and disciplines. It may not work for all people, but there’re definitely artists and humans like us from all over the world that we have met, that have no outlet.
Which leads me to what we are doing about it...
One Idea of 2square and the sparking dream is to have a space in different cities all over the world. Each works independently, but under the same philosophy and beliefs in art and working together and teaching your craft to your peers.
A factory space or studio where artists can come together and do their arts and rely on each other as a resource. Hopefully thru this we can brand the new renaissance and a new idea of the factory. That would allow the artist to live in the space or just work out of it. which would also in turn be open galleries, boutiques, salons and academy. So we all can design lifestyles thru collaborative exposes, working, living, and playing together. We are currently seeking out different artist across the world to work with. Including Dj’s, musicians, photographers, artist, designers,creative people in general. Watch our news and events and travel map to see where we will be going to next. Who knows it may be to your town. If your interested let us know.
Also within each city we are looking to set up an awareness and work with group homes to work with teenagers. To teach artistic expression give bomb haircuts and build relationships with also.. (an outlet, for direction and inspiration) It’s definitely community oriented and thrived upon.
