About (request update)

Though I have been designing graphics for a little over 4 years, FUNKKy BLACKK was started in late December 2009. The concept arose out of necessity from having worked on my best friend's Myspace page and providing his internet presence with the graphic designs needed at the time. Teaching myself at first with image editing programs such as Net.Paint and Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and CS4, I began to realize that there was a need for graphic art with a more personalized touch..more than what I OBSERVED of the many images on Facebook, Myspace and the Internet in general. Please don't misconstrue what I'm stating here: There are a lot of good graphics out there; however it seems that the FUNKK in ART has been forgotten. Thus, FUNKKy BLACKK comes to your rescue catering to that funky, eclectic, artistic inner/outer vision. For instance, ordinary images, photos, logos and things we take for granted such as wash towel sets or bedsheet/spread -can get an eclectic and aethestically beautiful enhancement. Look around at any birthday party and tell me if the items used to setup the celebration are plain or what is on the line of "boring". FUNKKy BLACKK seeks to give our people their own personalized reflections and ideas of culture and get everyone off the fence..off the wall!
