LETTER FROM THE EDITOR One of the beautiful things above life is our natural ability to grow, mature and to evolve into new beings. The person that walked into VCU in their freshmen year is no longer the same person by the time of their graduation. The theme for this issue is ‘Renaissance’ which means rebirth or ‘new beginnings’ and I want to dedicate it to all incoming freshmen. As freshmen you are going through a time of ‘newness’, which can be sometimes disconcerting and even scary, yet by the same token exhilarating, exciting and fun. You are entering into a world where dreams are born and opportunities abound and where the only limits that exists are the ones you place on yourself. My advice to you is to ‘seize the day’, dream big, aim high, have fun, and work hard. One of the most beautiful and intriguing things about living in Richmond is its vibrant

and forever evolving culture. There is always something new to see, do and taste, which is what keeps Richmond current and fresh. We want to kick-off the semester by highlighting some of the new restaurants, stores and trends that are hitting Richmond’s high streets this fall. This is my first issue of INK magazine as the Executive Editor and I am elated to have the opportunity to serve in this capacity. It’s truly an honor. I want to say a special thank you to all our excellent writers; advisors and contributors who helped produce this amazing issue! I also want to say thanks to you our precious readers for your ongoing support for INK. It is my dream that this magazine will get bigger and better in the coming months. Remember this is your time; this is your moment;

ALTER EGO APPAREL INTERVIEW Denis: March 18 2012 was the date it came out.

start a clothing line and I was like I wasn’t really interested in the idea until I thought of the name and the logo. I showed my barber ‘T’ the logo and he liked it so he gave me money to get started.

INK: What printing company did you use then?

INK: How much did he give you?

Jeff: Haberdash

Denis: Around $400.

INK: Do you still use them?

INK: What inspired the logo?

Denis: Yes, we do.

Denis: Well… (Laughs)

INK: Who was the original mastermind behind Alter Ego?

INK: The real story.

Recently there has been a lot of buzz about the Richmond born brand ‘Alter Ego’ pioneered by Denis Ofosu and Jeffery Obeng. The brand known for their infamous logo of the silhouettes of two women shaped as an “A” and “E” has been constantly popping up on my Instagram feed. Alter Ego has been seen on models, artists, DJ’s and of course the public and is consistently expanding. Using passion, hunger and first and foremost God as their inspiration to keep pushing and grow, they have created a name for themselves all over the nation. I have personally seen the growth of this brand since my sophomore year and I wanted to sit down and catch up with them to talk about the past, the present and the future.

INK: I met you Denis my sophomore year of college when Alter Ego was just beginning, when exactly was the first day Alter Ego came out?

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JESSICA CLARKE

Denis: The original idea came to me by my friend Duncan who suggested that we should

Denis: … ( laughs) Jeff: Well, it just popped up in his head.

INK: No that logo just doesn’t pop up (laughs) where is it from? Denis: You know me, I’m nasty, I was sitting down and thought “AE”, no one’s going to buy a shirt with AE on it so I just wanted a girl shaped like an ‘A’ and ‘E’and brought it to the artist and showed him what I wanted and then it came back looking the way it looked. I was sitting in my room thinking that it could be a cool logo; I haven’t really seen a logo with two lade silhouettes except “Kappa.” INK: So Jeff, how did you come into the equation because I know the original team was Denis, Duncan and Kobby Jones, and then you came into the equation last year? Denis: Jeff came into the equation about two months after we started he was always a supporter and helped a lot. But you know with everything, people fall off especially as things grow. It’s like puberty or like a caterpillar, a caterpillar is ugly but then it blossoms into a beautiful flower. And that’s what happened with us and I am not taking shots at anyone but they weren’t the material…wait…did I say a flower?!

Jeff: As far as position, we both do a little bit of everything; we both do shipments and sales. We don’t really have positions except Denis is the CEO and I am the COO. If I slip up he has my back and if he slips up, I have his back. INK: How long have you guys been friends? Denis: I met Jeff when I graduated high school in ‘09. INK: I bet you guys didn’t imagine you would ever be business partners. Denis: No.

Jeff: It is a good feeling.

Jeff: Not at all. Denis: I just knew I would be with one of his sisters but that’s about it. (laughs)

Jeff: We are never satisfied we always want more.

INK: I do commend you both on your publicity because you guys push your brand like no one’s business. Everywhere you turn you see Alter Ego and I respect and admire that. How do you manage school and having a business? I can imagine it can get very busy.

Denis: He’s right and that is just us being humble. When it was on Bad Girls Club, I mean that was national T.V and I was very excited but I woke up the next morning and worked as if nothing ever happened. It happened and it is big but were just too hungry we always want more.

Denis: (Laughs) Yes, yes. No disrespect to anyone, but it just wasn’t what we needed. INK: So, Jeff what position do you play in the production of Alter Ego?

INK: What creative process do you use to get the designs for your shirts? What inspires you?

INK: I have seen on Instagram a few celebrities and public figures wearing your brand, how does it feel?

INK: Who was the first major person you saw with your brand on and you were like ‘wow’ this is a big deal. Has it happened yet?

Denis: It is just God’s favor and our ambition; if you have to do something then you just have to get it done. It doesn’t matter what other things you have to do, if you have a million things to do it becomes a million and one now.

INK: I’m guessing you meant butterfly

Denis: Every now and then we sit down and have design meetings but the best work from me and Jeff happens on a random day and we will sketch it up, so it is not something we sit down and plan it just comes. We eat, live and breathe Alter Ego so every day we come up with something new and we bounce off each other.

INK: Well gentlemen, it was a pleasure talking to you and I wish you all the success in the world. Denis & Jeff: Thanks

FEATURED MUSICIANS: HYPERCOLOR

If anything can be said about Richmond’s musical talent, it is that we will never be in short supply. Every year there are always new up in coming artists who are willing to sacrifice their time and energy and devote it to what they feel most passionate about: music. From hip-hop, to hardcore, to metal, there are many musicians and bands eager to be heard over the hundreds that populate our fair city. One group who hopes to rise to the top ranks of memorable bands is HYPERCOLOR. This Indie-Folk inspired band has a very eclectic sound that will have you thinking of many popular performers such as The White Stripes, Beach Fossils, The Growlers and a staggering similarity to Joni Mitchell in both vocals and looks when it comes to their lead singer Alex Spalding. I attended one of their shows at Gallery5 and was able to talk with them after their set about who they are and what they think makes them stand out from the crowd. WRITTEN BY CORT OLSEN PHOTOS BY PAMELA GOMEZ

INK: How did you all start? Where did HYPERCOLOR begin?

INK: What would you classify your music as?

Adrian Olsen: Well, I run a recording studio called Montrose Recording and in my off time I started making these tracks when I wasn’t working with other bands as just an outlet for creativity. A lot of the time, I don’t really have a song idea. Alex will hear it and we would collaborate and she’ll write a tune over it. So we started with a handful of those tunes and then brought these guys along (Chrissie Griffith, Hugo Haggie, and Cre Moore).

Cre: It’s a mix of five different people that listen to very different music. Alex: A lot of these tunes start out as folk tunes. If they are not tracks that Adrian made that I’m doing a vocal over, the song starts like you’re just sitting on your back porch with a guitar, and that’s a little bit of the country vibe, but then we throw a lot of electric guitars, drums and bass on top of that and then it turns into not being a folk song on the back porch. Hugo: Then it’s just a very loud folk song.

INK: Where did the name “HYPERCOLOR” come from?

INK: Have you guys thought about doing acoustic shows?

Adrian: We had a terribly long debate about band names. We had about 150 names in the bank, but early on I was at my friend Dustin Simmons’s house, and he was talking about this jacket that he had that he loved so much. It was a hyper color Adidas jacket, and I was like, “HYPERCOLOR!!! That could be a band name.” And that stuck out in the list.

Adrian: We are actually doing two shows next month (August), one at The Camel and one at Bogart’s, both all new material and acoustic sets. INK: How do you guys plan to stand out from the many other talents in this city? Hugo: I think because we all come from different backgrounds, it keeps everything 3

sounding original. That’s what I like so much about this band and why I think it makes us stick out. In any band that I’m in, I’m always surprised when someone comes up to me and tells me they like [the music]. What struck me most about this band is that it is very much five people coming together as one. I would hope that what sets us apart from the others is that we don’t start off with a goal of “we want to sound like X,” we are just very open to whatever comes to us. Adrian: I don’t really concern myself with trying to sound different than anybody. It is what it is and if people like it then, God bless them. Alex: We’re going to have to keep playing this music because that’s what we do. It just comes out of us, so I hope people like it. INK: For people who haven’t heard of you yet, where can they find out more information?

Alex: Right now we are on Bandcamp (hypercolor.bandcamp.com) and Facebook. Hopefully we will be coming out with something soon. We have a little EP preview that is available for download.

MERICA PRIDE Have you noticed the up and coming trend of American flags and crosses on clothing products, phone cases, shoes and many more material objects? Well I sure have: I went shopping the other day and I feel like that’s all I saw! Most stores have “Merica Pride” sections; full of items with the American flag slapped on them. The real question is: Is it considered disrespectful to treat this significant and meaningful symbol as a fashion trend rather than representing freedom and pride for our county? What about the cross placed on T-shirts, sweaters and leggings instead of a dainty cross necklace to express your belief and faith in God? When asking former Richmond resident, Gabbi Pericle, a junior at Birmingham Young University studying health science major, believes: “Wearing the flag in general is a way to show you support our country. You do however have a point about how casually people wear our flag these days. I guess all in all, we should have more respect for our flag. There are so many ways to show off American pride. The cross should be worn only on jewelry; clothing on the other hand, no.” Fourth year English major at VCU, Olivia Talbott, believes: “The cross has become more of a cultural symbol in America than a religious one. It’s kind of like how the MTV logo

initially stood for a television channel that was true to music and only music. It’s evolved to encompass so much, from reality television to shows such as ‘True Life’ that provide commentary on others’ lives. The cross itself has not evolved, but the many and ever changing ways of what people see when they look at it, has. Kesha has made the cross a piece to wear in some sort of youthful rebellion. The American flag has become somewhat on a mindlessly worn symbol of pop culture. Both the cross and the American flag were once clear symbols with one clear meaning. They have lost their holiness, their sanctity. But in return, their meaning has been granted depth given from our melting pot of people placing their own views onto the item. It’s our story. It’s America. We’re a melting pot. We will never do things one specific way, have one opinion, and we have that luxury, so why not run with it?” Louisa Jensen, former Richmond resident, a third year junior at BYU studying Art Education, states: “The cross symbolizing the mortal death, self-sacrificial atonement and divine resurrection of Jesus Christ is a manmade symbol. The red, white and blue flag of the United States of America symbolizing the sacrifices citizens have made to protect our freedoms and privileges we enjoy is also a manmade symbol. I personally believe that both

symbols are divine and very symbolic of important virtues and doctrines I hold to myself sacred and important. Although I love, cherish, and find personal ties and meaning to each symbol I understand that man created these symbols. Man therefore has the right to these symbols to think of them what they may. This means that while one person may have personal or emotional ties to each symbol, others may not. As individuals, we are allowed to view these symbols in our own way. I think that because we have the right to view these symbols in our own way, we also need to respect how others view each symbol whether their actions are respectful or not. Obviously, you would not see conservative me flashing a cross or American flag item in a disrespectful way; but, you would not see me judging somebody else for expressing his or her feelings towards that specific symbol in a different way that I personally do. I think there is a line of disrespect that people can cross that potentially jeopardizes the freedoms of others while expressing their feelings about each particular symbol, but this is rarely crossed except in terror like attacks on Americans and the symbols they cherish.” WRITTEN BY ELLA PIZOLI ILLUSTRATION BY CHRIS KINDRED

MILLIE’S CAFÉ: CREATIVE CUISINE Richmond has many old buildings with new names. Old police stations are now new music venues, old warehouses are now beautiful lofts and old factories are now exciting bars. There are few places that have stood the test of time and still maintain their identity. One such place that continues to draw a crowd and still bring new ideas to the table (quite literally) is Millie’s Café. On the corner of 26th and Main sits this historic restaurant that continues to draw a crowd after 25 years. The secret to Millie’s long term success is how their menu continues to follow the trends of the ever changing times. I was able to speak to Chef Greyson to discuss just what makes its patrons continue to return after two decades of hospitality. What lends itself to Millie’s success is the creativity that the cooks are allowed. If someone has an idea for a new entrée that they would like to add to the menu, they are given the chance to pursue that idea within financial limitations. As long as the cost to buy the ingredients as well as the price to sell the food is reasonable the cooks can add their new creation to the menu. This allows the cooks to test their abilities on new material while also giving the customer a new experience to enjoy Menu items are also chosen based on the season. Food with brighter colors or from warmer climates will be more likely featured on the summer menu. Currently Chef Greyson says their hot items for the summer are the bone-in pork chops and the swordfish. “Not only are they frequently asked for, but they are also very fun to make for the chefs.” With such a creative menu and the ability to buy their ingredients locally, it is easy to see how Millie’s has been able to thrive for as long as it has. The trust that the owners put into their employees is a risk that more businesses, not just restaurants, should take. It is the creative and artistic capabilities of people who are passionate in their craft that keep the locals coming back and away from the large conglomerates.

ROUND TWO BOUTIQUE: THE NEW HAVEN FOR COLLECTORS OF FLY GEAR

As a college student, money is usually always tight. While everyone’s trying to make that last dollar stretch, it’s difficult to justify spending hundreds of dollars to keep up with the latest trends in men’s fashion. Round Two is a new men’s buy/sell/ trade boutique making it possible to have the most fashionable street wear without hurting your pockets. What began as a hobby of collecting exclusive brands and selling them to friends and fellow students, has turned into the consignment shop that exists today. Sean Wotherspoon , and VCU student Chris Russow knew they had an eye for the latest in street fashion. “We had way too much stuff as collectors, and were always buying, selling, and trading with friends from our personal collections,” says Russow. Having spent time within the sneaker head community Wotherspoon, Russow and associate owner Lucas Fracher, knew that there needed to be a place for the street wear community to come together and find brands that

stood the test of time at an affordable cost. What separates this consignment shop from others like it is that it appeals to a very different customer base. Many shops like it lack the exclusive brands that many men search to find. Providing high end, expensive brands, of good quality are main goals of the boutique. “Most of this stuff you can’t find anywhere, you had to have gotten it on the release dates,” states Wotherspoon. With this much culture existing within its merchandise and their keen eye for the best and relevant trends, it’s hard to believe they could price the retail this low. Looking forward, Round Two hopes to continue to be a beacon of the urban fashion community providing timeless styles and trends. In partnering with many local brands such as Utmost, God Made Dirt and Natural Talent, they hope to help continue to unite this already existing and thriving urban community here in RVA. “We recently held a re-

lease party for Utmost summer clothing line and the release of their new line of bucket hats,” says Wotherspoon. Having a background in the sneaker community and a keen eye for the classics, they’ve been able to purchase the most sought after shoe brand such as Jordan, Lebrons, New Balance, etc. “Sneaker events have gotten super expensive,” says Russow. “When they were cheap they were more enjoyable and more people came out.” Round Two hopes to one day be able to host their very own event to revitalize the sneaker head community. Round Two is located at 104 West Broad St., and are open Tuesday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m, .Follow them on twitter and intagram @roundtworva. STORY AND PHOTOS BY BRANDON SINGLETARY

Sugar Shack, the brand new bakery on the corner of Lombardy and Leigh, sold over 500 donuts in their first hour of being open. The shop sold out completely several times in the first few days, forcing them to close up early. “We’ve really gotten that under control,” says co-owner Ian Kelly. “We didn’t plan on it. We didn’t expect to sell a crazy amount of donuts every single day.” According Kelly’s partner , Casey Ward, Sugar Shack’s ultimate goal is to “fulfill the sweet tooth of all of Richmond, no matter if they’re Vegan or gluten-free.” The new donut shop has only been open since June, but so far it would appear that they were not far off from completing this well received mission. The shop is right across the street from Maggie Walker Governor’s School, where Ian also works as the girls’ soccer coach. Sugar Shack was instantly popular with the high school students when it opened three days before summer vacation. “They all wanted milkshakes at 8 a.m.,” Kelly said, who is potentially planning a mobile Sugar Shack cart just for Maggie Walker students next school year. On the Sugar Shack Facebook page, special offers are posted almost daily. The day I spoke with Ward, gnomes were the theme. “If 8

you go into the bathroom and draw a gnome you could get a free donut. Best gnome wins. We’re big on gnomes and unicorns.” The shop also proudly displayed cheery garden gnomes on their coffee bar. When I spoke with Kelly the following day, to get a free donut you had to sport a fake mustache for the Fourth of July. “I think that’s just more for the giggles,” he said. “Like, right now you can see there’s a whole group of girls walking in with mustaches. I worked all 19 hour days last week…there’s that moment when you want to step back and just laugh.” However, the fan base and gimmicks are not the lifeblood of this establishment. The donuts themselves are incredible. With flavors like maple-bacon--which features a maple icing and crumbled bacon on top-- Sugar Shack’s “let’s just have fun” mentality continues to their core. Kelly and Ward give their bakers almost total freedom with their creations. “You’ll see stuff with, like, fruit loops and chocolate. That’s just because someone back there wanted to make a fruit loops and

chocolate donut,” Kelly said, who makes sure that the basic flavors are covered, but lets Sugar Shack’s creative team of bakers take it from there. The selection of flavors that are available is constantly in flux, but you can be sure that those who brought you donuts inspired by the Samoas Girl Scout cookie, PB&J donuts and chocolate glazed donuts topped with popcorn will keep you covered. Any cake donuts they may have available can also be blended into milkshakes, furthering the sugary possibilities. Kelly and Ward also want to make sure that Sugar Shack is open to everyone. On their opening day, the shop sold out of their glutenfree donuts in the first hour, forcing them to rethink their approach. “I realized that I can’t make gluten free donuts while we’re making the other ones,” Kelly said. “Hopefully starting on the July 21, we’ll have gluten free donuts on Sundays only, but we won’t offer anything else on Sundays. Sundays we’ll be a gluten free bakery. We’re going to piss some people off. I’m not upset to say: ‘Hey, look, they get one day, you guys get six days, deal with it’.” High demand for vegan confections has also shaken up the Sugar Shack, but they are working to fulfill the sweet tooth of Richmond’s large vegan community and always have vegan milkshakes available in the meantime. Beyond milkshakes, Sugar Shack also has a full functioning barista bar. “Coffee. Coffee, coffee, coffee! That’s a big thing that I think people overlook because they think we’re just a donut shop. We’re not just a donut shop!” stresses Kelly. His sister works as a roaster for Zeke’s Coffee in Baltimore, where Sugar Shack gets its grounds. “People come in here and love our coffee and swear we have the best, but I don’t think that Richmond yet realizes that we are a full-on coffee shop,” he says. “I want people to come in and say, I’m specifically going there to get a latte and some donuts.” I tried the shop’s frozen Con Leche drink and was taken aback for a moment at how much you could taste the coffee. I’ve been used to Starbucks’ blended drinks that are mainly 10

milk and sugar. Coming from someone who is generally not a coffee person, I thought it was delicious. Sugar Shack continues to move forward. Ward and Kelly are planning a patio where customers can enjoy more extended visits, although I’ve noticed that the shop’s lack of tables and chairs hasn’t stopped customers from sitting on the floor or leaning against a wall to relax and enjoy their treats. The shop also uses an interesting checkout system done entirely through an iPad. Recently advertised on their Facebook page, a new smart phone app called “Square Wallet” allows customers to order and pay with their phones, hopefully cutting down the always busy lines at the shop. Another goal for the duo is to extend Sugar Shack’s hours of operation (they are currently open until just 3:30 p.m.), which I hope means midnight donut runs will be possible by finals week next semester. When asked “Why donuts?”, Kelly replies: “I’ve done fine dining for a long time, it just dawned on me that maybe I should step back from what I’m used to and play a little bit and have a little bit of fun.” And from Ward, “We thought that the city of Richmond could use a good donut shop.” WRITTEN BY ALEXANDRA MITCHELL PHOTOS BY LUCY DACUS
