Welcome to Compositionally Inclined

Quick intro for the OG subscribers.

Thanks so much for being here, this is a quick intro before Issue 01 of this newsletter drops next week. This newsletter aims to highlight and showcase contemporary artists, designers, and marketing campaigns that capture my attention and are curated for you. Straight to your inbox.

A quick background on me: I started Composition in my college dorm room as a freshman in 2019. The goal was to display (what I thought was) my impeccable taste in art and fashion. As I progressed through my art school degree I realized my likes and tastes for contemporary art began to shift and that’s when Composition hit its stride in terms of growth. I would post the most interesting pieces I would learn about in class on Instagram and people began to follow and engage.

5 years later, I began to understand that Composition has much more to it as a brand and a concept than purely an Instagram repost page. Therefore this is the first foray into the world beyond Instagram. Although I love Instagram for creating a platform and an audience, the real, in-the-weeds analysis and commentary is going to go down here. The real heat will be behind the paywall so if you are currently a paid subscriber, consider ponying up 5 extra bones a month to get a much deeper insight into the art world and much more.

Composition’s definition is a work of music, literature, or art. Which gives me free reign to pretty much talk about any piece of art, music, fashion, design, literature, sculpture, or photography that is worth discussing.

I will be the author behind most of these posts, with an occasional guest author here and there. But for the most part, it will be your boy blessing your ears (eyes?) with high-level analysis and gigabrained commentary on the most visually and conceptually compelling highlights from contemporary artists.

I now work as a brand consultant for content and creative services, as well as building out the future of Composition. I envision a full media company, as well as a clothing line, home goods, in-person events, and many collaborations to come. This newsletter will be at the forefront of all Composition-related news, and paid subscribers will get early access to any future product releases and access to in-person events.

Thanks again for subscribing. Will see you next week for Issue 01.
