Adventures With ArtByOdell : Los Trompos Exhibit at High Museum (Video)
June 10, 2015
Quite often I get asked why I go by the name of “ArtByOdell” it’s pretty simple really my name is Odell and I am an Artist. Â Art is something I have been passionate about for years and the High Museum here in Atlanta, GA is one of my favorite places to visit. Â So when they had an opening ceremony for their latest Los Trompos exhibit I had to go check it out and cover it for the site. Â The term Los Trompos translates to Spinning Tops in Spanish and they are beautiful interactive pieces made with a special fabric that is very colorful and flexible. Â The artists Hector Esrawe & Ignacio Cadena both hail from Mexico City worked together to bring us these beautiful creations. Â They are featured in video along with my good friend DJ EU who provided the sounds for the day. Â I even ran into the homie Blc Txt a local Hip Hop Artist here in Atlanta, GA. Â The exhibit will run until November 29th 2015 it is located on the campus of the Woodruff Arts Center in the Silly Piazza right outside of the High Museum. Â Be sure to check it out before it is over and be on the lookout for the next Adventure with ArtByOdell!

Atlanta based lyricist Ekundayo links up with female emcee Boog Brown for this special collaboration called ‘Everything’. The jazzy track produced by the talented beatsmith Illastrate is inspired by the work of photographer Roni Nicole & serves as an answer to the, at times rhetorical, question ‘What Is Love?’. The answer for anyone who knows better & everyone involved with this project is…. ‘Everything.’

Atlanta’s ‘Bem Joiner’ Shows Off His Creative Space (Video)
April 21, 2011
The homie Bem Joiner could arguably be called ‘Mr. Atlanta’…..This brotha was born & raised in Atlanta before all the transplants outnumbered the native ‘Grady Babies’ & if you ever meet him he’ll give you a quick history lesson on respecting the town & its history. Creative Loafing checked in with Bem to talk about his lifestyle. Check out the video above & for the complete interview at the link below…
LINK: CREATIVE LOAFING INTERVIEWS BEM JOINER ABOUT HOME & STYLE
Excerpt From Interview:
What’s your favorite thing about Atlanta?
The city has been a blessing for so many who have moved from worse situations. The fact that it’s helped so many people. But it’s hard to be a native. You remember when the Braves went from worst to first, original Freakniks. We’re all over the place, culture-wise. And creatives are forced to live like Ninja Turtles. They have to live underground like some Splinter shit. We’re trying to help, but no one understands what we’re doing. But it’s collaborative, everyone passes projects on to one another. The city and its creatives should have a symbiotic relationship — creatives go hand in hand with the progress of a city.
