This issue is the BIG issue and we’ve got some big names and people doing big things. We get a first look at the big debuts from Kreayshawn, Iggy Azalea, and T. Mills. We introduce you to the next big artist in the visual art world. We delve into the Big Gay Weddings in NYC. We even learn some tricks on how to make an, ahem, “big splash”. So we hope you’ll stick around for another year because we’ve got even bigger tricks up our sleeves. As always, our online followers are lucky enough to see it first! Welcome to Greedmont Park!

The basic interaction between society and our peers do not match how we are taught to react, and interact, with the world around us. For example, with Christianity being strong and preferred in America, the selling of sex isn’t decreasing with the increasing support of Christianity’s idea of good values and morals. I have a hard time understanding true forgiveness. In Christianity, you are told God will forgive you for your sins, if you repent.
Once a “sin” is completed, I believe it is hard to show true remorse without actions. I believe a person’s actions, plus their new found level of understanding, or awareness, should be fairly obvious. The irony of transformation, and rebirth, is that if the change is too obvious, some of your observers may remain skeptical. These are the type of contradictions that we live with daily. (more…)

We create things, we break things and it is all respected. Across the bridge, however, we can be misunderstood and if the monglers are really colorful, we’re abominations. I guess, only a select few individuals can see the king’s new wardrobe and maybe, that’s for the best. Do we really give a fuck? Probably not. So, we chatted with celebrated misfit, Lupe Fiasco and bubbling, Brooklyn-raised new comer, Theophilus London. We highlight events that unify us all as humans like the disaster in Japan and the killing of one of the world’s most notorious terrorist, Osama Bin Laden.
Our online followers are lucky enough to see it first! Bundles of hard copies are being mass produced by our printer and distributed across America (more specifically NY, LA, SF and ATL) as we speak! Welcome to Greedmont Park magazine where we celebrate keeping your natural hair color when everyone else is on a blonde streak. Where we to highlight those ostracized, tortured (and sometimes killed), and celebrated for being a bit left of center. I say, let them eat cake.

In a world full of self righteousness, it takes strong, creative people to deny the boxes society tries to force upon us. Greedmont Park is continuously smashing these boxes and shedding labels in the process. Our second issue of Greedmont Park is exploring the vices and sins that we have all fallen victim to on this Earth. We decided that there was no other artist that could explicate to our audience the Godly and devilish in all of us, quite like Tupac Shakur. To our generation, Tupac Shakur is more than a rapper, but a Messiah, a prophet. Take this controversial trip with Greedmont Park through everything from WikiLeaks controversy, the on-going trend of Homophobia in Hip-Hop, the taboos of sex, and everything in-between. We talked to artists like Uffie and Mr. Hudson along with artists like Miya Bailey and Melody Ehsani who were brave and willing to confess all their sins and secrets to Greedmont Park, Catholic confessional style.
Our online followers are lucky enough to see it first! Bundles of hard copies are being mass produced by our printer and distributed across America (more specifically NY, LA, and ATL) as we speak! Get ready for the second issue of Greedmont Park magazine where art, sex and sin are synonymous. Misfits, rebels, nonconformists, innovators, and outcasts welcome to Greedmontpark.com!

Greatness! I’ve never been crazy about Rihanna, but lately, I’ve had a slight of change heart (I blame it on her stylist). Her new video “Rude Boy” is absolutely amazing! Check out the Baby-G’shocks around her wrist worn as a bracelet, that insane LaQuan Smith bodysuit, and those neck-pieces British artist, Ebony Bones wears (pictured below). The Keith Haring/Grace Jones inspired scene is also a great touch! The overall coloring reminds me of the Ray-Ban Colorize ad. So much pop culture jam packed into one music video. Then I was thinking to myself Major Lazer should remix, and in fact Diplo has already done it! you can hear it here at Fader.

City of Ink is hosting a Juried Art Exhibition, inspired by Pop Culture. For those of you who don’t know what it a “juried show” is, it is basically a competition open to the public, where the work selected for the exhibition is picked by a panel of credible judges. Your work will be judged on technical skill, creativity, and craftsmanship. No restrictions on size or medium. All artwork must be submitted to City of Ink by January 11th. The opening reception will be held on the night of Castleberry Hill’s Art Walk on January 15th.
