About Me

QUALITY PHOTO RETOUCHING & PHOTO-BASED ILLUSTRATION & GRAPHIC DESIGN:TuTchT is pronouced "Touched" ... I've heard people trynna find otha words up in there, lol...but there's just one lil syllable. The mix of uppercase and lowercase letters simply reflects a current Hip-hop influence on communication methods --- jus like my work does. Here's about 80,000 words worth of description of what I do: (larger views in the TuTchTfolio in my pics section)................09 pricing information coming soon...................... LAUNCHT - Its been a little over a year than since I officially launched my site, but the response has been overwhelming. Seems like err'one wanna get TuTchT. :-D. So hope enough of ya'll got in on those start-up specials cause we stepping up. Sorry ya'll, no more unsolicitied TFPs. TRANSLATION: NO MORE FREE WORK (Unless I contacted you.) My prices are listed in the blog section...I can negotiate deals on occasion.CONTACT ME ABOUT YOUR PROJECT - If you got a project that needs to be TuTchT, hit me up and we'll discuss what I can do. I love workin with creative, diverse, beautiful folk. So Holla. Fairly detailed PRICING INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND IN THE BLOG SECTION. Please check out that info before you hit me up so we're on the same page.I Do Both Standard Photo Retouching and Artistic Design/Illustration using Photographic Images. --- I Can Design in a Variety of Styles Depending on the Needs of the Client.My Personal Design Work focuses on Blending Current Urban Pop Culture with Archaic Pop Culture Imagery, and Expanding on the Archetypical Images of African-American Males of the Hip-Hop Generation.Here's some recent joints for top NYC models: BELOW – My homie & thugmuse SEANDON. Catch him as Estelle’s leading man in her newest video, “No Substitue Love” where he’s a cheatin dog that ends up losin everything down to his draws hahaha. His most recent campaign for South Pole White Tag will have his image arriving at your local Macy’s and Penney’s stores across the country.BELOW – One of tha hot TuTchT Cover dudes, Z3N3L. Z’s resume is mad thick. You’ve prolly seen him on MTV’s newest reality hit “G’s to GENTS” from exec producer Jamie Foxx. He’s also a top NYC model appearing in countless magazine ads & campaigns including Sean John, Akademiks, G-Unit Clothing, Virgin Mobile, Target, Azzure, etc.BELOW: Lamar James - designed from a photo of Lamar in Diddy's historic All African-American Sean John show, "Kings" - fashion week, NYC. Yeah...check tha Tulsa swag. Speakin of - he's got a new blog with his girl Ally Love - a hot professional dancer - that puts you right in the heart of the NYC know - fashion, music, politics, dance, sports, entertainment, etc...check him out at Superswagger.com.I prefer to work with clients in the Entertainment Industry, working from professional photo shoots. (who wouldn't, lol?) However, I can also work wonders with amatuer photos. Keep in mind, though, that the technical quality of the original photo will determine the technical quality of the final outcome. I can make the image itself more dynamic and appealing but I can't improve the picture quality. If it was fuzzy and grainy to begin with, there's only so much I can do to correct those problems. I prefer to work with source photos of the highest possible resolution in order to give the best results.ABOVE: My roots are in animation (tha old skool kind...Now dayz they call it "traditional hand drawn" or "2D") So yeah, my roots creep out every now and then. I still do hand drawn work fa sho, but I DON'T do caricatures of people, sorry...there are cats who specialize in that type of work, it ain't me.Remember that Perception is the Ultimate Reality...so Let's Make Some Magic. Time to Get TuTchT! You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !Myspace Contact Tables

My Interests

I'd like to meet anyone chasing or being chased by their life purpose, especially those born to be seen by the masses. There's lots of these type of cats on this page and look... here's some more of em:INTRODUCING SAGE my new lil neph. He'd only been on this planet for about 40 days when he first got TuTchT. Dude MUST be somethin special to get that kinda treatment. lol. Sage's pops Jerome is my lifelong best homie, writing & producing partner...............Yeah, I do MySpace Profile pics. -- Lots of em. Here's some of my most recent joints...Here's a couple more dun up in tha latest "TuTchTburst" style: Model TORRIS spreadin' the rays of his shine acrost tha ATL, Shawn Aarons, actor in FLA/NYC & fam Sean & John.BELOW: Yes, the Thug Muse strikes again...this time Seandon gets tha full 70's BlaxploiTutchtness treatment. Can't ya jus hear tha wah-wah?...Oh & for all those people that keep askin what I look like, lol...here's one I did for me...so now you know. If you wanna know more about me. Hit me up.ok ok... here's a legit pic...taken during the only year that I was obviously fashion-conscious. lol. Now days i just wear boring clothes and caps & leave the modeling to tha pros. But yo, i know ya'll would kill for that satin shirt....don't lie.Here's some "elephants-in-the-corner" things about me that tend to surprise people: 1) No, I'm not Black or Brown, etc....I'm just pretty darn Caucasian. 2) No, I'm not gay. I love working with images of male models of color for far-reaching reasons. 3) No, I'm not lookin for "hook-ups" with any gender or species, lol. I'm in a monogamous realtionship with my life purpose and have devoted myself soley to that task. 4) No, I don't do this type of work full-time. I'm a playwright/screenwriter/composer/producer/director (with some writing awards and a tiny "buzz" around Hollywood and in Broadway circles related to some of my projects in development, but no credits you would recognize... as of yet, lol.) I have many projects in development and I do photoshop work on the side for supplemental income, but also to meet and network with visually stimulating folk that I may collab with in the future on one of my other projects as well.If you want to know more about me, just holla...all my work happens in front of this computer screen so I'm pretty much here if I'm awake & always interested in distractions from the grind.NOTE: You don't have to have a PayPal account to pay via PayPal.
