0:00Wait, so you're coming over at random numbers.
0:03Where do you get these numbers from?
0:07Where I get the, that's a great question.
0:09That's a great question.
0:10Honestly, I just feel like whatever I think the value.
0:15See, this is a hard question
0:18because we know it's hard to really put a price tag
0:20on art in general, because since I guess a jury,
0:23but it's also at the same time, so.
0:26I mean, it's art, work, marketing.
0:30You gotta still, you know, eat, take profit.
0:35The costs, expenses, and you know,
0:38material could go up and down.
0:40You know how that is.
0:42Exactly.
0:43Like usually, see, when you ask me to give you a range,
0:46it's like, I can't really even give you a range
0:48because I usually sell pieces based off the pieces.
0:51Why not?
0:52Why not nonetheless doing 100?
0:55Or make every piece 100, or make every piece 100?
0:59Because I feel like different pieces have different value
1:02and I don't think they all have the same value,
1:03so I'm not gonna sell them all at the same price.
1:08But your starting price,
1:10but your starting price could start at 100.
1:15That could be something, right?
1:18See where I'm going though, yeah.
1:20I see you, I see you.
1:24This is your time, your value, your worth,
1:28your baby, in a sense.
1:29You know, I know how it is.
1:30You're a creator and it's like, your baby?
1:32It's my baby?
1:34No, no, no.
1:36I don't know.
1:37I guess I feel like when I,
1:39because I am low-key kind of starting out,
1:40especially when it comes to like marketing,
1:44like my own stuff.
1:46And so I feel like I did want to make it
1:48more affordable.
1:49Like I wanted this to be like something
1:52that I see people wearing my stuff.
1:54Like I don't want it to be,
1:56I don't know how to explain it.
1:57I think, I don't know.
1:58I don't know how to.
1:59You wanted more to the masses than more monetary.
2:04I guess you could say.
2:06You visualize people in your work,
2:10but what type of people?
2:12Because if any old body could wear it,
2:14is that what you want?
2:15Or only a certain type of person?
2:19No, I feel like my audience would be
2:23a certain type of people.
2:24Like my audience would be like-
2:25What's your audience?
2:26Like young black people specifically.
2:29That would be my audience.
2:31Young black who?
2:32Female?
2:32Male?
2:35No, no female, male, like anybody.
2:38You don't have to,
2:39gender don't.
2:41Okay.
2:42Black.
2:42Just black, okay.
2:44Yes.
2:44I'm just getting there.
2:45Like people who look like me.
2:46You feel me?
2:47Yeah.
2:48Got you.
2:48Brothers and sisters, got you.
2:50Yes, yes, yes.
2:51But I feel like anybody could wear,
2:55anybody could wear my art
2:56if they want to seek that out.
2:58You feel me?
2:59I don't want it to be, you know,
3:02Pinterest to just only, you know,
3:03these type of people.
3:04I feel like my art is for everybody to see
3:07or who wants to see.
3:09So I got an idea.
3:12How about, you know,
3:14me being a photography space,
3:16I could help you market that.
3:19And I will wear every last single one of your pieces
3:24to help you get through.
3:25And I think it'd be iconic.
3:29Every last one of my pieces.
3:31We should be making a live show.
3:34See now, this is, yeah, this is, yeah.
3:37This is me.
3:39What about doing it live at a live show?
3:42You're almost like a,
3:43you know how they do release, book release?
3:47You can make it a live show
3:49and it's almost like a live auction.
3:51They literally taking pieces the morning.
3:54Okay, you get that one.
3:55So after the show,
3:56they get to take that piece home.
4:00All right, we can talk about that.
4:03See, yeah.
4:05But I got to jump on out of here.
4:08Yeah, I appreciate you.
4:11No problem.
