hey friends ! حجج
i suppose this is an “official” announcement….that ive started a business •!! ¡ !! ¡ !!• ::)(:: • !! ¡ !! ¡ !! •
im going on Guts, Instinct, and •Intuition• here, but basically, back towards the middle of December, without thinking, i suddenly walked over to my computer, and changed my website name
from
www.raynecottrell.com
to
www.isurvivedearth.com
i have had my website for years; as it houses documentation of the Art I Make…..but it’s existed for quite some time, in this funny “limbo” space…..ive always loved my website, but something about it being just my name? never felt entirely “right”…..
sometime last year, i was generating a bday gift for my beloved Soul Mate and best friend Ayubi
!!!!!! ……and as the incredible weaving and wafting of God’s Spirit operates often times in a Spiral, ***~~(as opposed to a straight line !!!)~~*** , many seemingly unconnected events, led me to a place of witnessing one thing, bridge to another, to another to another.
I SURVIVED EARTH is the result of my conscious effort to focus and solidify all of my creative outputs, and have them crystallized, finally, into a proper business venture.
right now, i will technically identify “ISE” as a clothing brand, highlighting the realm of my fascination and love of Silkscreen, Printmaking, Collage, and re-working of vintage clothes !!!
however, as an Artist; Creative; i am extremely mixed media oriented. labeling myself as a clothing brand is the method by which im currently discovering how to identify “me as a business”, but it’s an ongoing conversation with My Self and most importantly, With God.
i have major visions for the trajectory of “ISE” in the future, spanning the breadths of many different realms!
+¥+ FINE ART
¥+¥ PODCASTING
+¥+ MAGAZINE
¥+¥ CLOTHING PRODUCTION
+¥+ STYLING
and honestly, so so sooooo much more. “boxes” have always been difficult for me to navigate, in finding out and understanding where to place myself for means of identification; where i belong in terms of categories and the Art I Create 😂
it is all a Process occurring in Divine Right Timing; finding how to continuously Align Myself to God’s Incredible Holy Spirit.
i am Praying to Be in Co-Creation with God’s L0ving Being, Heart, and Desires, on this journey; the birth of I SURVIVED EARTH becoming the current mechanism by which im legitimizing &
s t r e a m l i n i n g my Art as Business
•}{}{}{}{}{}{•}{}{}{}{}{}{•
I Am very Grateful to Be on this Journey with You All, and, WOW ! what a Journey It Is.
Stay tuned for updates on where to find
I SURVIVED EARTH, and watch as i navigate this interesting, albeit completely foreign territory of “becoming a business”. it’s really fascinating to understand that all “businesses”, are LITERALLY people.
Thank you so very much,
IN DEEP LOVE AND GRATITUDE
• I AM GOD • I AM SOVEREIGN • I AM FREE•
Blessings to All.
