AMERICA NU MAGAZINE ISSUE #1
Posted by Hassan Kinley | Filed under Art + Design, Lifestyle, Literature | Book Review, Music, News + Events, Photography
Check out the second magazine out of Dash Publications, AMERICA NU magazine. As Creative Director, I wanted to push my refined aesthetic even further to come up with something that feels classic! Between the two magazines (this and Karin + Raoul), working with Art Director David Barnett, Editor-In-Chief Raquel Horn (America Nu) and Editor-In-Chief Hassan Kinley (Karin + Raoul) was indispensable to my development as an artist. In the past 6 months my eyes have been opened to totally new art forms, aesthetics, and mediums (I plan on tackling sculpture) and I’m excited for what’s to come next. Thank you Dame, McKenzie, Raquel, Hassan, and Cynthia for allowing me to work alongside you to create these pieces of work. Check out America Nu! -Ronin/SS
BTW, The Black Apple is featured in this issue of America Nu, don’t miss out on that story.

RHEA by {RONIN/SS + HASSAN KINLEY}
Posted by Hassan Kinley | Filed under Art + Design, Photography

Photography by Hassan Kinley Graphic Design by Ronin/SS
Rhea (pronounced /ˈriː.ə/; ancient Greek Ῥέα) was the Titaness daughter of Ouranos, the sky, and Gaia, the earth, inclassical Greek mythology. She was known as “the mother of gods.“
“Pharrell’s New Masterpiece”, Rhea is a great singer and songwriter who happens to be sexy as hell. When K+R decided to feature Rhea we wanted to do something special with her. The idea was to show the light that shines within her and at the same time break down where that presence originates and “deconstruct” her visually to highlight her glow and the structure of her body with shapes. It’s like the blueprint and the masterpiece are fused together as one. Simple shapes and geometry were used to add a sense of architecture, which has a sophisticated, planned process feeling.
Rhea is one of the most soulful singers out right now. Now that Pharrell has recruited Rhea as the new member of N.E.R.D, be on the look out for some new hot music from the group.
Like we do with all of our exclusive features, we asked Rhea to share with us some of her favorite things. Click below to read what she said.
