ICON Issue Cover

Stephen Thompson As David Bowie

I must say that it is was a complete pleasure working with model Stephen Thompson of Major Models NYC for the cover story of AMMO Magazines Icon Issue. Working with photographer Bryan Taylor-Johnson for the second time was a blast and together I believe that we were able to capture the Stephen in a completely different light that proves his place as one one the Fashion Industries next big thing.

Regroup!!!

it's been awhile since i have come to you guy on the Internet and truly showed my true emotions. I know when I started this blog it was a little more personal and sharing my inner most thoughts and feeling with you guys out there in the world really help me feel better a lot of times. so now i feel i should go back to doing just that. As of lately i have been on a roller coaster ride of self soul searching and now i have come to the bottom of the pit and self doubt has kicked in. Not having any clear thoughts and not knowing which way I should go is scaring the hell out of me.

Yet i understand i have to do whats best for me, I really don't want to let anyone down. I feel like shit know that i could possible be a disappointment to anyone especially my friends and love ones. I came home to DC yesterday to do a quick regroup and thinking session. So that i can have a clear view on what it is that i want. It's easy for me to say what i want but it is very hard to work out the conflicting emotions that runs through my body day to day. I really don't have a clear vision on what it is i want and until i get that i will forever be a creative soul blowing in the wind with no true direction!!!!

P.S.- SORRY!!!!!

Behind The Scenes!!!

These are photo's of behind the scenes of my very first photo shoot. It was a long day and a lot of work but it was all worth it. The photos and the styling came out amazing. And I must say that I'm very proud of myself for starting something I have been wanting to do for so long now. Be on the look out for the official pictures from my first styling job. And i must say a big thank you to Wade Roberson the (Photographer), Bintu Kabba (My Assistant), And Yashua Simmons (The Model). This is only the Beginning and there is so much more left to do, I can't wait. Let's hope I really have what it takes!!!!

Bintu & Wade wirking hard or hardly working?

A shot from behind the camara man. this was a wild card look, wait to you see the outcome!!!

This was one of my favorite set ups and looks, I believe I dreamed about this look!!!

I had to make sure the clothes read amazing in the pics!!!

Caution!!!

!!!Beware Of A Beast!!!!

So with in the last few weeks I have been doing some true soul searching. And there is nothing like come to terms with who you are and who you want to be. My life has always had ups and downs but now that I have a clear head and a clear plan I know exactly what it is I need to be doing. It my sound a little cliche but you have to want to be someone different to become someone different. And I have finally realized that my life is my own to move in the right direction. With that said this is a warning to all people who can't take drastic change. There is a new Javon Antonio Drake on the loose and the things that are about to take place just my shock you right out of your F***'n socks. So hold on to your seats and keep all body parts in the car while I take you on this new chapter of my life!!!

Back In The D dot C!!!

Lunch At Cap City

I was home for a while in D.C. and i had a blast. With the good time rolling I cleared my head to get myself ready for to new me that would return back to New York. Some times we need to take a step back and realize everything that we need and want are right in front of us. Now that have my thoughts and ideas together, I'm ready to move foward and shine. I hit the Diner which is one of my favorite spots to eat. I did a little shopping at Common Wealth, Gerogetown, and a few other places. I also hit a lot of Happy Hours and Restaurant to get my grub on. visited a few friends and a few people i shouldn't have but alls well that ends well. I did so much in my little time home and can't wait to get back soon. Here are some pics of the great time i had!!!
