STYLE FILES

by Marjorie Grace BMT artist and musician beautywithgrace@gmail.com

Do not be confused by his quiet demeanor or elegant style - Nathan Yellow Jones has a bitch-slap hand. The more you examine his art and his appearance, the more it makes sense. This man is not here to play. Whether through his sensual paintings, his intricate collage portraits, or his timeless yet eclectic manner of dress, this gentleman artist leaves a lasting impression. What various things inspire your personal

style? How would you describe it?

I would say my style is tailored and curated. I’m primarily inspired by basic things such as my mood, where I’m going, what the weather will be like, and what fits. I may have a favorite shirt or pair of pants in mind and go from there.

What would you tell someone who wants to develop their own style?

Look around and find the pieces that speak to you. Start with a few nice basics. From there, you can mix and match and create different looks. Don’t be afraid of color and definitely play with patterns! Most of all, be comfortable and confident in whatever you decide.
