This time last night I was super excited to be attending a very dope artistic event at the Untitled Bottega in Downtown Detroit … The EMLE xHibition was a nice mix of cool people mingling, enjoying unique art, comedy and sounds by a live dj. Artist, Emery Jones aka John xDope, is a Detroit artist who has an amazing rang of talents which include fashion, music, painting and acting. With his homeboy Myke Wright, who is a comedian and funny as hell, they create a very dynamic duo.
I am sad to say that I had to leave earlier than expected so I missed the raffle for custom EMLE products, and live improve skit with the EMLE Crew. Yes, I cried a little inside, but I did get a chance get in a session of Live Questions with EMLE! (Which I will post eventually) That made my night! It was a simple 3 question interview but the questions make you give an on spot witty answer… you gotta see it!
The xHibition was free admission and free drinks! That’s what I’m talking about. They showed their supporters madd love; and for that, their supporters will always stay down. That’s fact. I left with a free DVD that was super funny yo! A unique EMLE sticky, and a really nice overall experience. You could really feel the love in the atmosphere as well as a sense of accomplishment. It was truly well deserved. I managed to snap a few pics, but clearly, I am not a photographer- but yeah you will get it…

Custom EMLE Crew Necks (A few of my favorites!)
These paintings are so bomb! They remind me of an updated version of velvet paintings of black women in the 70's!! In the words of Andre Leon Talley This is something I would hang in my Salon!
The ominous clouds and the sensuality of the woman kinda play against each other. I love this one.
Ok. I was like yo are those street signs in the background?! That's fresh! The effect of the reflectors in the background is really creative!
I decided to give my old lappy lappy a makeover... Pow! Check out the handmade EMLE Sticky... yes that is a Postal address label!! That dope ideas was probably stemmed from budgeting lol it works for me!
So let me what you think!
