We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Bobby New. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Bobby below.
Bobby, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Are you happier as a creative? Do you sometimes think about what it would be like to just have a regular job? Can you talk to us about how you think through these emotions?
Doing what you love and the freedom to express yourself is a feeling that money or “security” in a job could never bring you. Many of us aren’t happy on a day to day basis and it’s mostly because you’re not living your true purpose. We’re all creators l, and getting those ideas out or bringing your dreams to fruition step by step is fulfilling in itself. It takes time and risk, but if you’re brave enough, the right people who will appreciate your gifts are going to gravitate towards you. So I’d say I’m pretty happy.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Black Dollar is a Handmade Ready to Wear Designer Clothing House, comitted to making the world a flyer place.
We use our clothing to provide support, stability, and second chances for single mothers, ex-convicts, the homeless, and more who have an adoration for art, modeling and fashion.
Combining the different tastes, visions and concepts of these creatives, gives us the pieces & collections we have to offer the world!
All of our “orders” are essentially donations, going towards building our non profit that continues to support the aforementioned individuals in our communities.
Our designs and concepts are always met with high praise and positive feedback, which encourages is to keep designing and keep producing for fashion’s sake.
What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?
Buy what you like. No matter what it is, there are plenty of large brands and companies that put out so so products at high margins simply because they can.
When you buy what you like, you support the artists and creatives who have the potential to produce at the same level as the well known brands, and that’s what we aim for. Spreading our creations to the ends of the world, whoever wants to receive our gifts should have access to then.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
When the process of creating is over, taking a step back to look at the finished product hits different for you than anyone else that sees it. You know what it took to bring this to life, the time spent, the frustration, the edits you had to make, etc. Looking at it is fulfilling in an unexplainable way like “Wow, I DID that!”. That moment is the most rewarding.
