“The goal of an artist is to create the definitive work that cannot be surpassed.”
This is all a true story.
When my head is in a cloud reading any book, I tend to compare it to my first true love, Rain of Gold by Victor Villaseñor. I can still hear, taste, see and feel vibrant imagery painted against the pages and the captivating love and journey of a young Lupe and Juan during personal conflict and the Mexican Revolution and their journey to pre-settled California.
Your perspective isthe masterpiece.Everything elseis the medium.
Add the Accent is a multidisciplinary creative studio built on one belief:every person, brand, and idea has something only it can contribute. Through design, writing, photography, film, and apparel, we bring that difference to the surface and give it form.
“It’s about finding and leaving the mark only you can make.”
— JT
Read the series →Homebody is the series that never leaves home — a case study in cleaning the room that lives inside you, one session, one rep, at a time. It’s where accountability turns into discipline, and discipline into the kind of greatness that’s just as useful away from home as it is within it.
Read the series →A Domain Expansion Series details the accounts of reimagining a new home; inspired by the tale of the stoic majestic black samurai, Kenji; in pursuit of a distant treasure, a symbol of enlightenment, self-awareness, and the power buried within. His path becomes a bridge, shaped by every trial, every truth, and every piece of himself he learns to reclaim.
Read the series →“Back to Oui” traces the distance between love and despair; loneliness and belonging; agreeing and retreating. Through loss, faith, and self-discovery, it explores how becoming whole within can make what we build together more powerful.
