NOSAJ AUTHENTICS BIO:Born in Richmond, Virginia, Jason Ford, has built his business, Nosaj Authentics from the ground up. I started over a year ago from scratch. I went to New York with my partners and got a bundle of t-shirts and paint brushes and went to work painting. What started as a hobby, has turned into a lucrative business venture for this talented young man. Ford, envisioned a business that would be totally different from any others. People create and design t-shirts all the time, but not many hand paint. I knew that this would be a major twist on the art and the fashion industry. With paintbrush in hand and a white t-shirt as his canvas, Ford creates authentic hand painted t-shirts that are so in demand, they have their own serial number. This is just my first step into the door. I want people to become a walking billboard for my work. And who better to advertise for him than the many athletes and celebrities that commission him to do design shirts for them. I am now in the position to do things and meet people I never thought I would meet in person. Celebrities such as Carmelo Anthony, Common and Michael Vick are just a few of the high end clients that have had work done for them by Jason.Along with any business, whether it be large or small, there has to come a great work ethic and commitment to the job. Just like an office manager or a store clerk goes to a nine to five job, this is Fords nine to five. Even though I was born with the talent for painting, I know that this is a fluctuating market and I have to always hone my skills. This is a continuous learning process. And speaking of learning, Ford is a graduate of Hermitage High School in Henrico County, Virginia and East Carolina University having acquired a degree in Illustration. I love different art work. My inspiration is drawn from artists that put their own twists on things. While in school, Jason pursued a traditional education is art. I know my art history and theory, I just prefer to create. My first time actually painting was on a shirt for a class assignment. I have been using t-shirts as my canvas from then on. I can paint on any surface, but right now hand painting t-shirts is my thing. On the flip side of just painting and having fun, Jason knows that he has to have a keen business sense and financial acumen. I understand that this is an urban market and the trends and fashions are changing. But for right now, this is my medium. Working out of his home studio, Jason Ford credits his family with always supporting his business venture and his dreams. My family is very tight-knit and supportive. My father draws well, but other than that, I cant say that any of my other family members have a talent for art. Me, I think I was born drawing. Ford is a quiet, yet confident artist. I say all that I have to say in my painting. That is how I express myself. When asked if he had a favorite color, he commented, Artists dont have favorite colors. We like all colors. This statement is clearly true when looking at the bold color schemes and brash brush strokes that Jason uses to express himself with his painting.The world of custom apparel has ushered in a new member in Jason Ford and Nosaj Authentics. Even though the market is always changing and trends come and go, this young man has what it takes to get to the top and dares anyone to take his spot.Written by Adrian Taylor
