Today we’d like to introduce you to Amos Hobson.
Hi Amos, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I started in 2020, a few months before COVID was active. I want to take my art career seriously despite having a lot of setbacks when applying for art roles through big companies. Since I was self-taught, they looked down, so my goal was to prove to them that my art was good by going out to sell my artwork.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Nothing is smooth about being a no-funded artist trying to find your niche then grow a community around that. But nothing easy is ever appreciated. Realizing all places that allow you to sell art isnt for everyone. Theres racial based , class bias and medium bias between creatives so competition is stiff. Not including high scams when it comes to events and vendors used for your products. But those challanges helped me from being native when meeting new organizations.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
So as one of the main artist of my brand Black Diamond Authority, i specialize in traditional , animation, digital art and sculpturing as my mediums. But as a large organization, we specialize in events, art classes, community investing, and art shows. What i am most proud of is though alot of our work has been trial and error we made one of the big milestones of being active for five years so as we work til the next milestone which is ten year we aim on diversity. What sets us apart is our team is loaded with artist of different backgrounds but all focused of growing our brand to a house hold name.
What do you like best about our city? What do you like least?
I like the creative events and that were having new people moving here from different places. What i like least is prices of venues for rent and low options of venues in such a large city.
