Who is PLAYDOUGH?

Recent interview with Dallas, Texas native and hip-hop artists PLAYDOUGH.

DVC: So were did you get the name PLAYDOUGH come from? It's hysterical.
PLAYDOUGH: Playdough is a clever little way for me to hide my government name in a rap name. I won't say what it is but it's pretty easy to figure out.

DVC: What compelled you to start creating music and what have you learned about yourself in the process?
PLAYDOUGH: I've been drawn to music since i was a kid. It comes naturally and is such an enjoyable process to me. From the first idea to the execution along the way, then having a finished product that you're proud of. It can be whatever you want it to be, personal or very broad. I started rhyming when i was in 6th grade and haven't stopped writing since.

I've learned some people just have music (or any art) in them that can't be contained or kept inside. No training or upbringing in music is necessary to express what's inside of you. Kind of dope because that's what hip-hop is. Using what you've got to express what's in you.

DVC: So tell us about the last album you recorded.
PLAYDOUGH: "Don't Drink the Water" was the last full length solo record I did. About not buying into what people tell you to like, but deciding for yourself. I produced most of it but had a couple outside producers do production as well. It’s some pretty gritty sounding hip-hop, not very glossy or polished, some under the radar type of music. It’s taken me all over the world. Its official release was in 2006 so it's time for a new one.

DVC: Are you currently working on some new material? Do you have a working title?
PLAYDOUGH: I'm working on lots of new music. My crew Deepspace5 is dropping "The Future Ain't What It Used To Be" this year. I'm putting out a few mix-tapes as well, all leading up to my new full length "Hotdoggin".

DVC: What's the first single off that album "Hotdoggin"?
PLAYDOUGH: We haven't picked a single yet. I'm waiting to see what gets the most love with my publishing company and what some other industry nerds say. Some songs are being considered for placements in some TV shows, so that may force my hand to use what they pick for that.

DVC: How did Deepspace5 get together?
PLAYDOUGH: I hooked up with DS5 in 2001. We put out 2 major records since then and this new album will be our 3rd official release. Our latest free digital mix-tape is at deepspace5.com.

DVC: How would you describe the chemistry of Deepspace5 that you and the other members have?
PLAYDOUGH: I'm in a crew with some super smart dudes. The crew is comprised of attorneys, businessmen, I.T. guys, VP's and full time musicians. Some are good at really deep subject matter; some are the love bringers while others are really punch-line savvy or battle emcees. We all kind of fill a specific role amongst the crew. I think the more folks become familiar with our work the more they catch on to each member’s strengths.

DVC: Musically, who or what were your influences?
PLAYDOUGH: My dad hipped me to classic rock, so beyond a doubt that influenced me. But coming up I really dug DJ Muggs production so all the Cypress Hill, Funkdoobiest and House Of Pain stuff was big for me as well. Most influential to me growing up and still to this day would have to be De la Soul and Black Thought, very inspiring creatively and artistically. Still making exceptional music with each release. I can't say enough good things about them and what they've meant to my music live and in the studio.

DVC: Give me your favorite Roots and Cypress Hill album.
PLAYDOUGH: "Things Fall Apart" by The Roots. Though Black Thought has some monster verses on other songs from different albums. Cypress Hill's "Black Sunday" is the hardest overall album from them in my opinion. Plus I have really good memories listening to that record and skipping class.

DVC: So we found you through Twitter, how much have social media networks help you?
PLAYDOUGH: They've helped me tons. Promoting shows to booking shows and word of mouth from people. Being able to check you out right there with a link to your music is real helpful. The thing I want most right now is for people who have never heard of me to get a chance to listen to my music and it's a good way to do that. I have a hard time devoting enough time to all of the social networking sites but the time I do put in has been fruitful.

Roy Decarava 1919 - 2009

Roy DeCarava worked as a  freelance photographer for magazines and commercial, but he consciously approached photography as an art, not as a form of journalism or documentary history. He was trained as a painter, printmaker, and commercial illustrator and with his photographs often had the composition and gravity of painting. Roy was drawn to photography by “the directness of the medium,” and soon found himself communicating the themes and ideas of his paintings photographically.

DeCarava and a poet, Langston Hughes, would collaborate on publishing a book titled, The Sweet Flypaper of Life, documenting the lives of Harlem residents. Between he and  Gordon Parks are often considered the foremost African American photographers of the 20th century. Roy DeCarava died October 27 at the age of 89.

Through My Eyes - Jordan Eismont

Born in Tarrytown, New York, Jordan has been showing since 1998 in various venues in Amsterdam and Utrecht, The Netherlands, where he studied painting and fashion design at the Hogeschool voor de Kunst; in New Hampshire, where he attended both primary and secondary school; and in Los Angeles, where he studied garment design at FIDM and now resides.

The inspiration for Jordan’s featured artwork comes from great painters of the cubism era, Picasso, Miro, DeGas, Cezanne, Mattisse, and many others. Jordan’s approach to his art is one of exploration. He is always trying to adopt ideas used by the other artists and incorporates them into his own.

As a recent graduate Jordan has been exploring his ideas through the fashion world and finding ways to incorporate his artwork into his clothing designs. Creating a wonderful fusion of art and fashion. Jordan feels as though fashion today is defined by ones uniqueness, and that art should play a large role in the style of the person.

Jordan wants to continue with his career in art as well as express his talent in fashion.
