About Me
BLACK SEA APPAREL IS DONE!
Hello, everyone! Justin Lloyd, here. For the past three to four years, I have been responsible for Black Sea Apparel and nearly everything involved with it. I've decided after much thought that it is time to shut down Black Sea Apparel. It's been an amazing journey but it's place in my life has come to an end.
Why is this happening?! Well, read up!
I've decided that my passion and talents more so reflect art than retail. I am concentrating harder on freelancing graphic design jobs through Black Sea Design as well as looking into a career as an interior designer.
The purpose of this clothing line was to make art, spread it by means of fashion and hope that it moves and affects people positively, all the while being able to support myself financially. I've realized that music is really the thing that I am best at when it comes to pure self-expression and the spreading of positive ideas and thoughts. With art, I can do just the same, but I am a lot better with design projects alone than I am designing and then handling a retail business on top of it.
I appreciate all of the support I've received from you all! I'm so happy to see so many bands wearing Black Sea at their shows. I'm so happy to see how the positive messages that influenced the designs affect people. There are several Black Sea tattoos out there and that just blows my mind! I want to thank anyone who has modeled for any of the photos (Kyle Durfey, Kris Fulton, Megan McGaughey, Lisa Wolfgang, Tommy Hallett, Helen Kendall, Jacob Seaton, Haley Meyers, Dominique Wilson, so many more...) as well as anyone who has done photos for me when I haven't felt like doing it (Megan Lloyd, Kevin Wildt, Dominique Wilson, Megan McGaughey). A HUGE thanks goes out to John Settino for being there for me through all the technical difficulties I've come up against with web related stuff. He's also one of Black Sea's biggest customers! ALSO! Thank you to Nick Roccanti and Alex Tchekmeian for all of the support, business advice and help getting my butt in gear with this company!
I know what you're thinking... if Black Sea is done... that must mean EVERYTHING IS ON CLEARANCE! Yea? YEA! You know how we just had a huge holiday sale where everything was cheaper than it's ever been? Well, we're out-doing ourselves again! $13 SHIRTS! That is CHEAPER than you can even get a PLAIN American Apparel shirt, and ours come with sweet designs on them! $14 v-necks, $25 hoodies! That's 10 bucks cheaper than our hoodies were for the last sale! All of our button packs, sticker packs and posters are just a DOLLAR a piece!
SO GET TO IT! GET SHOPPING! THEBLACKSEAONLINESTORE.COM !!!
