M What we're talking about? Money? What are we talking about? What
they're talking about? This money?What I'm talking about? What we're talking
about money? What are we talkingabout? What they're talking about this money?
What I'm talking about? What we'retalking about money? What are we
talking about? My name is MartaaliciaMata. I was born and raised in
(00:51):
Harlem. My understanding about art wasnot as much as you can master it
and then create your language. Asthe youths progressed, it became more about
learning how to do figurative drawing andcommunicating. And art will always take me
to a new realm depending on howour react to mother nature, to other
people. So as as an artistliving in and now, I simply do
(01:15):
not know where it's taking me,but it will take me. It was
gonna take me somewhere. That's all. Growing up, my first influence it
was my older brother Thomas, andthen then my little brother. He taught
me color where I was a littlebit timid. This is where my art
developed further. First time I recalleddrawing was probably like around five years old.
(01:36):
Was none of us was good atthat time, so we just doodling.
My mom's got to give her alot of credit at that time because
she noticed that we liked art,but we weren't good at it. So
she used to enable us by buyingcrayons, watercolor stuff that we didn't even
know how to use, but neitherthe She and she used to slay down
(01:57):
on the floor with us, andshe used to draw with us, and
she used to put all these colorsand mix it all up, and it
was it was cool that we alldid that together. We were very independent,
were like the supportive type. Wewere like, oh, we will
give you a nod, you know, the passing glance. You know.
(02:20):
We were like, you know,growing up, it wasn't so much competitiveness.
It was more like, oh,I see what you're doing. I
could do something like that. Youknow. It's maybe it's competitive, but
it wasn't really like I want tobe better than you. I want you
to acknowledge that I'm better than you. It wasn't like that. It was
more like, Okay, I seeyou doing good. I can do good
too. I'm good. Also,I give a whole lot of credit to
my mother for not letting me seehow difficult it really was. And also
(02:46):
I give credit to my father foralways encouraging me to pursue what I so
enjoy because the financial means weren't therefive people in one room, you know,
my youngest brother sleeping in suitcases,and you know, it did not
register how poverty affected us. Butwithout having my family around me, I
(03:07):
don't think I would have survived.Because my brothers were there, you know,
calming the waters. Okay, artwas still there, calming the waters.
All the positive outlets were there.Well, I was doing art in
the beginning. I never really askedthose questions as to where mart will take
me, but I said, atleast I'm able to be useful in the
(03:28):
art. Let it lya need towhere it leaves me. I never had
a projection as to wards. Ijust know the fundamentals of learning art.
(04:23):
What are we're talking about money?When we're talking about what they're talking about,
this money? What I'm talking about? What we're talking about money?
When we're talking about what they're talkingabout? This money? What I'm talking
about? What are we talking aboutmoney when we're talking about yeah, yeah,
yeah, good evening, good evening? Yo? Yo? What up?
What up? What's going on?Are you feeling? You gotta man,
(04:45):
you gotta introduce hew, I'm Iam. How am I doing?
Man? I was getting very toyou. You just messed me up.
I was like, how you wasdoing? Real? Brother? How y'all
doing out this? We got aspecial guest, super special guest. But
she didn't change the rules for theshow all of that, right, because
(05:06):
now you're guess you got to comewith you set up. You know what
I'm saying, you better come withyour setups. She came real professional.
Yeah not going, but yeah,thank you for having me. Everybody,
all right, So this is thisis my really good friend. So I
call her Martha, but I wouldlike her to introduce herself with her business
(05:30):
name. Oh my name is MikeD. I go by M Square Art
Productions LLLS. Right, and firstthing before we get into your art,
right, because I told you Ihave some questions that you know what I'm
saying. Um, tell us whereare you from and what it was like
(05:56):
growing up in your neighborhood? Mhm uh. My history and growing up
had different stages. It born andraised in Harlem and from the New York,
New York, and then from thereour family moved to Massachusetts, were
they from our kindergarten years then tothe Dominican Republic for at least two years,
(06:19):
and we arrived back here and whenI was ten years old. Since
then, I've been here and thennow I've been been from there, been
to Brooklyn and here the Bronx.Wow. That's so so at a young
age you had a nice extensive experienceof traveling. Yeah. I mean,
(06:40):
and while growing up, those travelsituations didn't feel like traveling situations or traveling
where it's kind of like a youknow, um having an adventure. My
mother will always say we're gonna havean adventure today or it's going to be
extended adventure, so that that camouflageda lot of what my expectation of the
(07:00):
upcoming experience will be, like,you know, if it's going to be
a foreign territory. If she didn'tsay those wonderful things or set it up
for me, I think I wouldhave been more anxious. Okay, that
makes sense. That makes sense.So she prepared it very well, so
I so, yeah, all thosetraveling led me to have a profound understanding
of people and how do you say, learning about how people's customs are um,
(07:28):
language, UM, tolerance of otherpeople, um, and boundaries and
even within family members. So thatso you like an expert when it comes
to character, not necessarily. Imean, I don't know, because you
said something outside early before the showthat I was like, Wow, she's
an expert of character. I wishshe just picked that up, you know
(07:49):
about a personal virgo. Oh,well, that's just just dabbling. I'm
here and there about learning. I'mlearning about myself, and in the in
the midst of learning about myself,I dissect myself to go further. And
by doing that I can relate topeople or that you know, and I
also adds to how I create.So that hand in hand, you know.
(08:09):
So at ten years old, youwere back in Hallom, Yes,
right, And where was it,like, where were you living in Hallom
one hundred and thirty seventh Street andum and Riverside, one thirty seventh Riverside
years. I wasn't that. Itwas in the year nineteen eighty eight,
and I think I remember my fathersaid he had a house or an apartment
(08:33):
and it was a house an apartment, but we lived in one room in
that house of the apartment. Andum, we entered the house, my
father wasn't there. We saw aboom box on top of the bed and
we're like, okay, this isjust one room where we where we at,
you know, said oh this isthe place and we heard, uh,
(08:54):
Whitney Houston, I want to dancefor some bad yo. Listen to
New York And I looked at Ilooked over to where the river bank is
that in the middle of the nightand you see these beautiful build the buildings
you see these lights are like,is that New York? Come on young
(09:15):
ten years old? So everything brightlights and the sound is different. You
get to you know, being indr for like two years, you get
to smell the atmosphere is different.You're in the city. You get to
hear a loud noise, a lotof honking happening in the cars. Um
So is that would would kind oflike push you in the direction of all
(09:37):
right? I love seeingery. Ilove um you know, I love to
look at I love the visual ofthings. Is that what you kind of
well, it wasn't impressionable, youknow. Um. I did not know
at that time that art was gonnabe my my journey. But I didn't
know that it captivated my interest,especially a lot of different um interaction with
(10:01):
people and elements such as like thesubway rats or you know, the different
things were you know they were theyas impressible. So then at the same
time, during the eighties, goingtowards the nineties, comic book and a
lot of blacks, they had alot of graffiti black book stuff. And
then you see graffiti on the wall, so that do you remember that?
(10:22):
What do you remember seeing the graffition the trains and stuff. Not necessarily
on the trains, I could seelike, um businesses in there, you
know, when they closed their gates. You see some you know, random
words even there. But they weren'treally mural like layout. They were more
of um, you know, BobTimothy is here one something. There were
(10:48):
some that being younger, I couldn'tsee that they were really nice. But
most of the graffiti I grasped moreso was in the black book they say,
the art journal books. So thatthis was where I got most of
my influence. But as well asthe like I said earlier, in the
comic books. So you have theDC comics, the Marvel comics, and
(11:09):
one of my old time favorite wasuh I forgot which where was he?
But it's one called Lobo. Iwas going to ask you who's your favorite
character? This one was Glory.It's low Do you remember the name?
I remember that character too. Itrings a bell because I was like,
you know you law light over there. You know, I'm y'all, y'all,
(11:33):
y'all old world. Yeah, allright, let's include into the comication.
Now I'm saying a little bit.It's a music ar you went to
school for that? No, it'snatural, it's a gift, right,
I guess. Yeah. So whatare the questions we got for him to
(11:56):
do? What inspired to do themusic? Uh? Well, money?
And then I started realizing about thebusiness that it wasn't the greatest investment.
So you know that's still some motivatingfactor for you, right? It changed?
Is the game changes the game becauselike, um, your trajectory was
(12:22):
one way and now you kind ofwas like, nope, I needed to
be a long lasting and more beneficialcreating at a rapid rate. And the
rapid rate was really like you're spending. You're spending all of this investment money
in the investment turnaround is crazy.The turnaround time might be two years,
(12:45):
so that money is held up fortwo years? Question? Sorry, uh,
how is it like? Because nowI'm gonna I want to get into
your art, right, so whatwhat age did you like really start getting
into artwork, like saying, youknow, this is what I'm gonna do,
this is what I want to do. This Okay, this is a
(13:07):
little lengthy, but I'll see ifI can shorten up. Because I didn't
know ar it was gonna be somethingthat I wanted to do. It was
something that I was so easy todo anyways, because there was randomly in
the house a piece of paper,markers or crayons. It was so easy.
But there was a point where Iwas trying to figure out how to
speak. So I didn't know wellEnglish. I didn't know well Spanish.
(13:28):
But I do know when I wasin the elementary school going to junior high
school, like I either spent alot of time with nature, so I
was always by myself, didn't reallyspeak much. So I was dabbling should
I become maybe zoologists or something withanimals or some sort because I was so
(13:48):
close to nature. But the pivotingpoint to figure out where I wanted to
do was when the junior high schoolhad made a statement for students to see
what would you like to do?You have to prepare yourself for high school.
I didn't know where to go.I really did not know where to
go. So then then I wentto church and ask your question, yes,
(14:13):
do you think that a lot ofkids have that problem in school?
Like like when it comes to educationand then when they're saying, all right,
well what are you all right now, it was time to go to
college and do this and get readyfor every day nine to five work.
(14:33):
I gotta personally. When I wasin college, yes, I saw a
huge amount of people or students werenone should call it liberal arts. They
a lot of the students there,but a small handful did what they were
committed to do. Like so theytook that shit out of the college.
It was like no, no,no, no, no this is I
(14:56):
get them later. Okay. Itwas like no, no, no,
there was the money coming in everyday, we just take it out of
the system. Like yeah, Imean that as a pavot of point for
children. You know, you're eachperson will figure that out depending on the
um natural influences from people to peopleor influences from TV or something. I
(15:18):
don't know that each each What Ido know that each person has their own
calling and um it could be triggeredlater in life it could be um worked
on as a progression and get betterat what they want. But for for
me, Um, I had tomake a decision, and I chose art
because it was easiest in these closestthing. And from there I learned how
(15:39):
to do the paint Prussian LaGuardia HighSchool and canvas work. And that's what
I learned from their own. Soyou put the work in. Yeah,
I dedicated once I committed to somethingthat Okay, this is something worthwhile,
you know. I also didn't dogood in school in LaGuardia High School.
My older brother he was my mytrend later even though no English, he
(16:02):
didn't like the teacher would tell usthe students what to do, step back
and is the oldest, oldest,Yo, that's so crazy, is like
to me, he's like that.He would think he's the youngest, but
he's because you know, he's solaid back, he's so like, so
callous, he's so nice. Buthe also you know, a military train,
(16:25):
get you. I've been to therange when the guy he came with
that guy, Yeah, he's reallycommitted to focus on anything. Yeah,
he's really good. So he taughtme. He had a lot of patients,
and he taught me like, okay, the teacher really wanted to produce
one color and blah blah blah.From there, I started learning more through
him, and luckily I was Iwas with his presence, you know.
(16:48):
So that that was my high schoolexperience. And then I went to the
military and I went to La GuardiaHigh School, New Pulse, and then
when I had my first son,Oh yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely,
definitely yeah, the kids, theboogers anyway, Yeah, so what
was it like being in the military. What was that like being in the
(17:11):
military, being a woman in themilitary and the American males, Oh,
you know, American man system.Well, I didn't see it like that
because I grew up with my brothers, so I didn't see a separation.
I just saw that if I'd liketo do something and my brothers can do
I can do it as well.I mean they never already said you're a
(17:33):
girl, you should be None ofthat conversation never showed up in my household.
Um, so I went. Ihad a little scholarship to go to
New Polls. My one of mycousins was able to help me through that.
But I thought I had a fouryear thing, but it wasn't it
was just one semester. But Ihad still have to pay for it.
(17:53):
And I'm like, oh man,I love this so much. What can
I do? And then I changedyou a bill and it was like,
all right, come on back,just pay that before we come. Yeah,
it was something similar to that,and I'm like, I was,
so I was. I was panickingbecause I didn't want to miss out in
the opportunity. So then I sawa friend or a student there. She
was in the Marines. So Isaid, Okay, my father's a marine.
(18:17):
I'll do I'll do that. Sowhen I went to the recruitment what
they call that, uh what what'sthat? A leather knack or something shit
like that. I already know you'remad tough. I know. I think
you twisted my arms with you oneday. He was like I know you.
You know what I'm saying, like, yeah, but that go ahead
please? So yeah. After thefact, then when I went back and
(18:41):
I found out that the National Guardpay one hundred percent tuition, I was
like, wow, should I justmiss out on being a marine or should
I do the National Guard? SoI want to do the National Guard that
paid everything so then what you goton yours bad? I'm not telling you,
but I had a good grade.Yo. When when I when I,
(19:02):
um, should I should fare,I wasn't. I wasn't really got
in my world. Experience wasn't vast. So when it was just basic,
I mean, so I could dothe nursing I could have done, which
is my m west. Any onebrother come back medic I tried to go
in so that I could be.I wanted to be um coast guard too,
But you had to be. Youhad to get a fifty two or
(19:25):
fifty three on the asbad and thenthey would waive you two points. You
know, they would wave you twopoints if he was close. But I
was, um, I think Ihad got a forty nine. He was
so close. Oh my gosh,I happened. A guy was like,
nah, you gotta you gotta yougotta live in together for a little bit
(19:48):
for you experience. You gotta getsome more experience. I'm not gonna just
set you up and give you someguns. Mohammed, you're a little life
wire at this stage in life.I'm gonna just you know, you just
you know, go through some hardtimes, you know, so experience go
through some experiences. But yeah,oh I want to add a little bit
(20:11):
about the military military experience. Idid join so I could pay so I
could continue my college. Right.But when I when we had a moment
to gather all the soldiers before afterboot camp, that we had a moment
to get to know the sergeants,and each each the sergeant will ask each
soldier why were you enlist for?What were your Someone said, oh,
(20:32):
I want to become a doctor.I want to be a medic. I
mean, who have you? Whenit came to my turn, I said,
I want to be an artist.They all stopped. They looked at
me. I said, you can'tbe real, you can't be serious.
You mean to tell me you spentall this sweating and running, we made
you a gill, you want todo art. It took it took like
(20:52):
maybe one entire month of verbal tormentbecause they they ain't said you can't be
here. They were from the sergeants, from from other um you know,
fellows, soldiers and um. Itwas a little hard from that point because
then I was doubting myself, Yeah, should I do that or not?
But that segue once I finished myboot camp and I, um I went
(21:17):
back to Newports and I finished seeNo Fear, No Fear. But we're
gonna have to take our first break. When we come back, we're gonna
have more with Martha, and we'regonna have more with Cake Life Googles.
All right, maybe maybe maybe maybeother guest hosts. All right, hey,
(21:38):
hey, hey, tap into thecomments and tell us how you love
with Martha. Jake Lice, Catbo Eames were back at it again.
(22:26):
Y'all know that this we can't losewhat we're talking about. You already know
what I'm talking about, talking about. What we're talking about. Money,
will we're talking about what they're talkingabout, this money, what I'm talking
about. Who'll be talking about moneywill be talking about what they're talking about,
(22:48):
this money, what I'm talking about, what we're talking about, money
will be talking about what they're talkingabout, this money. What I'm talking
about. Who were talking about moneywill be talking about who'll be talking about
this money about? Let's go andwe back, we back, we back,
(23:12):
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, we'reback. We're back. Okay,
I'm saying, yeah, So we'regonna tap right back in, Like,
what's going on with these what's goingon with these books. Let's talk about
these, yes, yes, Um. It all started with my first son.
His name is Wesley, and whenhe was eight years old, we
used to do poetry UM after school. So we will talk about different things
(23:34):
and he will he will say somethinglike, um, you know, rocks
are not soap. You know youshould not you know whatever. So it
was more like utilizing words and expandinglanguage. So I used to write them
down. When when I finally hadmy second son, UM, I looked
at my journal and I saw allthese poetry. So I decided to educate
(23:57):
my youngest, my youngest on umlanguage. So I said, as for
apple, but it's also as foralligator. So the more I was playing
with verbal ways to interpret it,I ended up using all those things and
combine the alphabet. So this isactually my first first book. As you
can see, they had all Idon't know if you can can zoom in
(24:19):
all that a little bit, Bobby, just a little bit. I don't
know if you can see a specialkids. So the idea was to show
um the alphabet so that my soncan see. And then the letter B
is for bear, but it's alsobread bread. Yeah, that's fine,
(24:42):
Yes, make sure you pay attention. Right, the letter S is for
camel, but it's also for Jerry, so I used the too lungs Jerry
right now they have kids, youcan right now I'm working on my website,
but at the time being, youcan actually purchase all of these books
(25:03):
at Amazon Amazon, and you canfind them by my title or you can
find them through my name. Butas you can, there's all fun for
kids. And then eventually that ledto my secondary one with Synchronosity, which
is all about um different things journalingfor children young adults. You know you
have UM the different chakraates, talkabout the different colors, what they mean,
(25:29):
UM, what numerology might look like, and also as well, uh,
spirit animals. So I said,so when you do the spirit animals,
it's just like little things that UMpeople used to say from back in
the day. So then that ledto the UM well eventually led to like
I went back to the food animalstuff, which is like the mazes you
(25:52):
can see amaze and you can coloringbook for kids. But then the food
animals lend up to the coloring bookfor us. That's the same book that
you gave me, right the noo. Yeah, this is one. Yeah,
I think I left leave it inthe caws like you gave. So
this is the last one that Ihave. You can either buy this one
(26:14):
or because it's thirty dollars, oryou can buy four of these, which
makes this one. For example,it'll give you the definition of a one
of the boar. A boar isa bravery, command in control and fighting
spirit. Different places of the world. Um, you will have different meanings
of different animals, for example,a cougar of a mountain lion, and
(26:41):
it represents um leadership and taking chargeof one's life and circumstances and tuition and
strength. So you can color indifferent things. That coyote and the Native
Americans used to call them a tricksteranimal. It wasn't like a good or
bad. It was just like shouldI trust I have got you? It
had different things like people might thinkthat somebody's animals are evil or malicious or
(27:07):
superstitious. But when you reached outwhat it stands for from different context of
Native Americans, you get to seemore. You could take a look at
it. Yeah, information on theanimals. Yeah, yeah, see,
I told you you're going to thatcopy keep one that copy right here,
right, And also you have abunch of the like octopus. No,
you guys sound it out, Uh, I just messed with today. Yeah.
(27:37):
But through the process, it wasn'tthis. This happened simultaneously while I
started getting my LLC. I didn'tknow nothing about it, about how to
establish one. Lewis was a greathelp to me in my life, and
yes, was just the greatest husbandover there snoring and all right. One
(28:03):
of the things is that when whenthe pandemic arrived, UM, I saw
that I wasn't really preparing my mompassed away in two thousand and nine.
That led to, like, arewe prepared for any of us? You
know? So what can I doto um have my children not go through
what I did with my mother?And I said, so, I funeral
(28:26):
things are expensive and that's that's alot. So then I said, well,
let me start small things. Solike as you see that, I
started doing small things. Then itdidn't hold nothing unless I have in a
corporate limited liability corporation to do that. I went through the steps I invested
here and simultaneously, with the graceof the above, I landed a great
(28:52):
job called the bronx Net community calledbronx Net TV, which helped me,
um get the funds and not forme to invest. So all things that
I was gathering, I was justmoving it, pushing it, moving it
and pushing it. But the creativenesswas in the was always consistent because I
can, I can create. Butnow what can I do with the creation?
(29:15):
Now I can aid in helping likemothers and children, or and help
those are curious about like spirituality throughthe American eyes. But it wasn't enough.
So now I'm in a pivotal pointof what's my next step? And
that's where I am here. Now. Yeah, I understand, Yeah,
(29:37):
now I understand what you're saying,like and uh so I know that you
have murals, a couple of muralsaround the city. Um, I know
you have a lot of artwork aroundthe city. You want to like,
tell us some of the places,I mean, you can go the viewers
can go check it out. Yes, they mostly are in Manhattan. The
(29:59):
ones in the wrongs are, Imean, the one in Brooklyn no longer
exists because they got painted over.The one that that I enjoyed the most
was a five story high Dizzy Gillespie'sone hundred and thirty fifth between seventh and
eighth Avenue and it's across the streetfrom the police station. And oh you
(30:22):
did that. Yeah, that's well, there's two mirrors, two large ones,
and I did one towards the interiorand the first time learning how to
use a scissor lift and a cherrypecker. I am. That's that's one
there and then one hundred and thirtyfour Street, third stry that's another mirror
that I did of a hand placinga plant into the half of a child's
(30:48):
face, meaning that in order fora childhood girl, you had to plant
the seed. The idea is tonurture. So if you pass down something
to a young one, the likelihoodof them nurture, being nurtured and taken
care of is um what we're lookingforward to the higher and that's why I
put it in. Yeah, that'swhat my dad used to say. He's
(31:11):
say, well, if you feedhim the girl, that's what he was
saying. Maybe he was a littleoff with the same. So yeah,
that's what that and I have.I was so grateful enough to actually go
to Serbia in Europe to go welland a portion of a large mural and
(31:32):
there's an artist named dist He introducedme to the organization and shout out to
dister or being an outstanding Washington Heightsprolific artists from from the area. He
shout out to Washington Heights. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So,
yes, he was cool. Hegave me and I was there for
like a week and I learned alot about uh language. Um, I
(31:57):
was him and I are are likeof our complexion. So a lot of
people were just staring like like arewe visiting or are we staying? It
was like this miss this accused asI was told, just right, I'm
just saying, though I can't helpit. This is that's who I am.
(32:20):
I'm supposed to act like somebody I'mnot like Noah, but I get
it. I get it. Isee it happen. Actually, well,
you said something to me last week. So I did, like a little
a little voice over. He's like, oh, that's a great Mexican be

(55:49):
money, What we're talking about money? Six
M What we're talking about? Money? What are we talking about? What
they're talking about? This money?What I'm talking about? What we're talking
about money? What are we talkingabout? What they're talking about this money?
What I'm talking about? What we'retalking about money? What are we
talking about? My name is MartaaliciaMata. I was born and raised in
(00:51):
Harlem. My understanding about art wasnot as much as you can master it
and then create your language. Asthe youths progressed, it became more about
learning how to do figurative drawing andcommunicating. And art will always take me
to a new realm depending on howour react to mother nature, to other
people. So as as an artistliving in and now, I simply do
(01:15):
not know where it's taking me,but it will take me. It was
gonna take me somewhere. That's all. Growing up, my first influence it
was my older brother Thomas, andthen then my little brother. He taught
me color where I was a littlebit timid. This is where my art
developed further. First time I recalleddrawing was probably like around five years old.
(01:36):
Was none of us was good atthat time, so we just doodling.
My mom's got to give her alot of credit at that time because
she noticed that we liked art,but we weren't good at it. So
she used to enable us by buyingcrayons, watercolor stuff that we didn't even
know how to use, but neitherthe She and she used to slay down
(01:57):
on the floor with us, andshe used to draw with us, and
she used to put all these colorsand mix it all up, and it
was it was cool that we alldid that together. We were very independent,
were like the supportive type. Wewere like, oh, we will
give you a nod, you know, the passing glance. You know.
(02:20):
We were like, you know,growing up, it wasn't so much competitiveness.
It was more like, oh,I see what you're doing. I
could do something like that. Youknow. It's maybe it's competitive, but
it wasn't really like I want tobe better than you. I want you
to acknowledge that I'm better than you. It wasn't like that. It was
more like, Okay, I seeyou doing good. I can do good
too. I'm good. Also,I give a whole lot of credit to
my mother for not letting me seehow difficult it really was. And also
(02:46):
I give credit to my father foralways encouraging me to pursue what I so
enjoy because the financial means weren't therefive people in one room, you know,
my youngest brother sleeping in suitcases,and you know, it did not
register how poverty affected us. Butwithout having my family around me, I
(03:07):
don't think I would have survived.Because my brothers were there, you know,
calming the waters. Okay, artwas still there, calming the waters.
All the positive outlets were there.Well, I was doing art in
the beginning. I never really askedthose questions as to where mart will take
me, but I said, atleast I'm able to be useful in the
(03:28):
art. Let it lya need towhere it leaves me. I never had
a projection as to wards. Ijust know the fundamentals of learning art.
(04:23):
What are we're talking about money?When we're talking about what they're talking about,
this money? What I'm talking about? What we're talking about money?
When we're talking about what they're talkingabout? This money? What I'm talking
about? What are we talking aboutmoney when we're talking about yeah, yeah,
yeah, good evening, good evening? Yo? Yo? What up?
What up? What's going on?Are you feeling? You gotta man,
(04:45):
you gotta introduce hew, I'm Iam. How am I doing?
Man? I was getting very toyou. You just messed me up.
I was like, how you wasdoing? Real? Brother? How y'all
doing out this? We got aspecial guest, super special guest. But
she didn't change the rules for theshow all of that, right, because
(05:06):
now you're guess you got to comewith you set up. You know what
I'm saying, you better come withyour setups. She came real professional.
Yeah not going, but yeah,thank you for having me. Everybody,
all right, So this is thisis my really good friend. So I
call her Martha, but I wouldlike her to introduce herself with her business
(05:30):
name. Oh my name is MikeD. I go by M Square Art
Productions LLLS. Right, and firstthing before we get into your art,
right, because I told you Ihave some questions that you know what I'm
saying. Um, tell us whereare you from and what it was like
(05:56):
growing up in your neighborhood? Mhm uh. My history and growing up
had different stages. It born andraised in Harlem and from the New York,
New York, and then from thereour family moved to Massachusetts, were
they from our kindergarten years then tothe Dominican Republic for at least two years,
(06:19):
and we arrived back here and whenI was ten years old. Since
then, I've been here and thennow I've been been from there, been
to Brooklyn and here the Bronx.Wow. That's so so at a young
age you had a nice extensive experienceof traveling. Yeah. I mean,
(06:40):
and while growing up, those travelsituations didn't feel like traveling situations or traveling
where it's kind of like a youknow, um having an adventure. My
mother will always say we're gonna havean adventure today or it's going to be
extended adventure, so that that camouflageda lot of what my expectation of the
(07:00):
upcoming experience will be, like,you know, if it's going to be
a foreign territory. If she didn'tsay those wonderful things or set it up
for me, I think I wouldhave been more anxious. Okay, that
makes sense. That makes sense.So she prepared it very well, so
I so, yeah, all thosetraveling led me to have a profound understanding
of people and how do you say, learning about how people's customs are um,
(07:28):
language, UM, tolerance of otherpeople, um, and boundaries and
even within family members. So thatso you like an expert when it comes
to character, not necessarily. Imean, I don't know, because you
said something outside early before the showthat I was like, Wow, she's
an expert of character. I wishshe just picked that up, you know
(07:49):
about a personal virgo. Oh,well, that's just just dabbling. I'm
here and there about learning. I'mlearning about myself, and in the in
the midst of learning about myself,I dissect myself to go further. And
by doing that I can relate topeople or that you know, and I
also adds to how I create.So that hand in hand, you know.
(08:09):
So at ten years old, youwere back in Hallom, Yes,
right, And where was it,like, where were you living in Hallom
one hundred and thirty seventh Street andum and Riverside, one thirty seventh Riverside
years. I wasn't that. Itwas in the year nineteen eighty eight,
and I think I remember my fathersaid he had a house or an apartment
(08:33):
and it was a house an apartment, but we lived in one room in
that house of the apartment. Andum, we entered the house, my
father wasn't there. We saw aboom box on top of the bed and
we're like, okay, this isjust one room where we where we at,
you know, said oh this isthe place and we heard, uh,
(08:54):
Whitney Houston, I want to dancefor some bad yo. Listen to
New York And I looked at Ilooked over to where the river bank is
that in the middle of the nightand you see these beautiful build the buildings
you see these lights are like,is that New York? Come on young
(09:15):
ten years old? So everything brightlights and the sound is different. You
get to you know, being indr for like two years, you get
to smell the atmosphere is different.You're in the city. You get to
hear a loud noise, a lotof honking happening in the cars. Um
So is that would would kind oflike push you in the direction of all
(09:37):
right? I love seeingery. Ilove um you know, I love to
look at I love the visual ofthings. Is that what you kind of
well, it wasn't impressionable, youknow. Um. I did not know
at that time that art was gonnabe my my journey. But I didn't
know that it captivated my interest,especially a lot of different um interaction with
(10:01):
people and elements such as like thesubway rats or you know, the different
things were you know they were theyas impressible. So then at the same
time, during the eighties, goingtowards the nineties, comic book and a
lot of blacks, they had alot of graffiti black book stuff. And
then you see graffiti on the wall, so that do you remember that?
(10:22):
What do you remember seeing the graffition the trains and stuff. Not necessarily
on the trains, I could seelike, um businesses in there, you
know, when they closed their gates. You see some you know, random
words even there. But they weren'treally mural like layout. They were more
of um, you know, BobTimothy is here one something. There were
(10:48):
some that being younger, I couldn'tsee that they were really nice. But
most of the graffiti I grasped moreso was in the black book they say,
the art journal books. So thatthis was where I got most of
my influence. But as well asthe like I said earlier, in the
comic books. So you have theDC comics, the Marvel comics, and
(11:09):
one of my old time favorite wasuh I forgot which where was he?
But it's one called Lobo. Iwas going to ask you who's your favorite
character? This one was Glory.It's low Do you remember the name?
I remember that character too. Itrings a bell because I was like,
you know you law light over there. You know, I'm y'all, y'all,
(11:33):
y'all old world. Yeah, allright, let's include into the comication.
Now I'm saying a little bit.It's a music ar you went to
school for that? No, it'snatural, it's a gift, right,
I guess. Yeah. So whatare the questions we got for him to
(11:56):
do? What inspired to do themusic? Uh? Well, money?
And then I started realizing about thebusiness that it wasn't the greatest investment.
So you know that's still some motivatingfactor for you, right? It changed?
Is the game changes the game becauselike, um, your trajectory was
(12:22):
one way and now you kind ofwas like, nope, I needed to
be a long lasting and more beneficialcreating at a rapid rate. And the
rapid rate was really like you're spending. You're spending all of this investment money
in the investment turnaround is crazy.The turnaround time might be two years,
(12:45):
so that money is held up fortwo years? Question? Sorry, uh,
how is it like? Because nowI'm gonna I want to get into
your art, right, so whatwhat age did you like really start getting
into artwork, like saying, youknow, this is what I'm gonna do,
this is what I want to do. This Okay, this is a
(13:07):
little lengthy, but I'll see ifI can shorten up. Because I didn't
know ar it was gonna be somethingthat I wanted to do. It was
something that I was so easy todo anyways, because there was randomly in
the house a piece of paper,markers or crayons. It was so easy.
But there was a point where Iwas trying to figure out how to
speak. So I didn't know wellEnglish. I didn't know well Spanish.
(13:28):
But I do know when I wasin the elementary school going to junior high
school, like I either spent alot of time with nature, so I
was always by myself, didn't reallyspeak much. So I was dabbling should
I become maybe zoologists or something withanimals or some sort because I was so
(13:48):
close to nature. But the pivotingpoint to figure out where I wanted to
do was when the junior high schoolhad made a statement for students to see
what would you like to do?You have to prepare yourself for high school.
I didn't know where to go.I really did not know where to
go. So then then I wentto church and ask your question, yes,
(14:13):
do you think that a lot ofkids have that problem in school?
Like like when it comes to educationand then when they're saying, all right,
well what are you all right now, it was time to go to
college and do this and get readyfor every day nine to five work.
(14:33):
I gotta personally. When I wasin college, yes, I saw a
huge amount of people or students werenone should call it liberal arts. They
a lot of the students there,but a small handful did what they were
committed to do. Like so theytook that shit out of the college.
It was like no, no,no, no, no this is I
(14:56):
get them later. Okay. Itwas like no, no, no,
there was the money coming in everyday, we just take it out of
the system. Like yeah, Imean that as a pavot of point for
children. You know, you're eachperson will figure that out depending on the
um natural influences from people to peopleor influences from TV or something. I
(15:18):
don't know that each each What Ido know that each person has their own
calling and um it could be triggeredlater in life it could be um worked
on as a progression and get betterat what they want. But for for
me, Um, I had tomake a decision, and I chose art
because it was easiest in these closestthing. And from there I learned how
(15:39):
to do the paint Prussian LaGuardia HighSchool and canvas work. And that's what
I learned from their own. Soyou put the work in. Yeah,
I dedicated once I committed to somethingthat Okay, this is something worthwhile,
you know. I also didn't dogood in school in LaGuardia High School.
My older brother he was my mytrend later even though no English, he
(16:02):
didn't like the teacher would tell usthe students what to do, step back
and is the oldest, oldest,Yo, that's so crazy, is like
to me, he's like that.He would think he's the youngest, but
he's because you know, he's solaid back, he's so like, so
callous, he's so nice. Buthe also you know, a military train,
(16:25):
get you. I've been to therange when the guy he came with
that guy, Yeah, he's reallycommitted to focus on anything. Yeah,
he's really good. So he taughtme. He had a lot of patients,
and he taught me like, okay, the teacher really wanted to produce
one color and blah blah blah.From there, I started learning more through
him, and luckily I was Iwas with his presence, you know.
(16:48):
So that that was my high schoolexperience. And then I went to the
military and I went to La GuardiaHigh School, New Pulse, and then
when I had my first son,Oh yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely,
definitely yeah, the kids, theboogers anyway, Yeah, so what
was it like being in the military. What was that like being in the
(17:11):
military, being a woman in themilitary and the American males, Oh,
you know, American man system.Well, I didn't see it like that
because I grew up with my brothers, so I didn't see a separation.
I just saw that if I'd liketo do something and my brothers can do
I can do it as well.I mean they never already said you're a
(17:33):
girl, you should be None ofthat conversation never showed up in my household.
Um, so I went. Ihad a little scholarship to go to
New Polls. My one of mycousins was able to help me through that.
But I thought I had a fouryear thing, but it wasn't it
was just one semester. But Ihad still have to pay for it.
(17:53):
And I'm like, oh man,I love this so much. What can
I do? And then I changedyou a bill and it was like,
all right, come on back,just pay that before we come. Yeah,
it was something similar to that,and I'm like, I was,
so I was. I was panickingbecause I didn't want to miss out in
the opportunity. So then I sawa friend or a student there. She
was in the Marines. So Isaid, Okay, my father's a marine.
(18:17):
I'll do I'll do that. Sowhen I went to the recruitment what
they call that, uh what what'sthat? A leather knack or something shit
like that. I already know you'remad tough. I know. I think
you twisted my arms with you oneday. He was like I know you.
You know what I'm saying, like, yeah, but that go ahead
please? So yeah. After thefact, then when I went back and
(18:41):
I found out that the National Guardpay one hundred percent tuition, I was
like, wow, should I justmiss out on being a marine or should
I do the National Guard? SoI want to do the National Guard that
paid everything so then what you goton yours bad? I'm not telling you,
but I had a good grade.Yo. When when I when I,
(19:02):
um, should I should fare,I wasn't. I wasn't really got
in my world. Experience wasn't vast. So when it was just basic,
I mean, so I could dothe nursing I could have done, which
is my m west. Any onebrother come back medic I tried to go
in so that I could be.I wanted to be um coast guard too,
But you had to be. Youhad to get a fifty two or
(19:25):
fifty three on the asbad and thenthey would waive you two points. You
know, they would wave you twopoints if he was close. But I
was, um, I think Ihad got a forty nine. He was
so close. Oh my gosh,I happened. A guy was like,
nah, you gotta you gotta yougotta live in together for a little bit
(19:48):
for you experience. You gotta getsome more experience. I'm not gonna just
set you up and give you someguns. Mohammed, you're a little life
wire at this stage in life.I'm gonna just you know, you just
you know, go through some hardtimes, you know, so experience go
through some experiences. But yeah,oh I want to add a little bit
(20:11):
about the military military experience. Idid join so I could pay so I
could continue my college. Right.But when I when we had a moment
to gather all the soldiers before afterboot camp, that we had a moment
to get to know the sergeants,and each each the sergeant will ask each
soldier why were you enlist for?What were your Someone said, oh,
(20:32):
I want to become a doctor.I want to be a medic. I
mean, who have you? Whenit came to my turn, I said,
I want to be an artist.They all stopped. They looked at
me. I said, you can'tbe real, you can't be serious.
You mean to tell me you spentall this sweating and running, we made
you a gill, you want todo art. It took it took like
(20:52):
maybe one entire month of verbal tormentbecause they they ain't said you can't be
here. They were from the sergeants, from from other um you know,
fellows, soldiers and um. Itwas a little hard from that point because
then I was doubting myself, Yeah, should I do that or not?
But that segue once I finished myboot camp and I, um I went
(21:17):
back to Newports and I finished seeNo Fear, No Fear. But we're
gonna have to take our first break. When we come back, we're gonna
have more with Martha, and we'regonna have more with Cake Life Googles.
All right, maybe maybe maybe maybeother guest hosts. All right, hey,
(21:38):
hey, hey, tap into thecomments and tell us how you love
with Martha. Jake Lice, Catbo Eames were back at it again.
(22:26):
Y'all know that this we can't losewhat we're talking about. You already know
what I'm talking about, talking about. What we're talking about. Money,
will we're talking about what they're talkingabout, this money, what I'm talking
about. Who'll be talking about moneywill be talking about what they're talking about,
(22:48):
this money, what I'm talking about, what we're talking about, money
will be talking about what they're talkingabout, this money. What I'm talking
about. Who were talking about moneywill be talking about who'll be talking about
this money about? Let's go andwe back, we back, we back,
(23:12):
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, we'reback. We're back. Okay,
I'm saying, yeah, So we'regonna tap right back in, Like,
what's going on with these what's goingon with these books. Let's talk about
these, yes, yes, Um. It all started with my first son.
His name is Wesley, and whenhe was eight years old, we
used to do poetry UM after school. So we will talk about different things
(23:34):
and he will he will say somethinglike, um, you know, rocks
are not soap. You know youshould not you know whatever. So it
was more like utilizing words and expandinglanguage. So I used to write them
down. When when I finally hadmy second son, UM, I looked
at my journal and I saw allthese poetry. So I decided to educate
(23:57):
my youngest, my youngest on umlanguage. So I said, as for
apple, but it's also as foralligator. So the more I was playing
with verbal ways to interpret it,I ended up using all those things and
combine the alphabet. So this isactually my first first book. As you
can see, they had all Idon't know if you can can zoom in
(24:19):
all that a little bit, Bobby, just a little bit. I don't
know if you can see a specialkids. So the idea was to show
um the alphabet so that my soncan see. And then the letter B
is for bear, but it's alsobread bread. Yeah, that's fine,
(24:42):
Yes, make sure you pay attention. Right, the letter S is for
camel, but it's also for Jerry, so I used the too lungs Jerry
right now they have kids, youcan right now I'm working on my website,
but at the time being, youcan actually purchase all of these books
(25:03):
at Amazon Amazon, and you canfind them by my title or you can
find them through my name. Butas you can, there's all fun for
kids. And then eventually that ledto my secondary one with Synchronosity, which
is all about um different things journalingfor children young adults. You know you
have UM the different chakraates, talkabout the different colors, what they mean,
(25:29):
UM, what numerology might look like, and also as well, uh,
spirit animals. So I said,so when you do the spirit animals,
it's just like little things that UMpeople used to say from back in
the day. So then that ledto the UM well eventually led to like
I went back to the food animalstuff, which is like the mazes you
(25:52):
can see amaze and you can coloringbook for kids. But then the food
animals lend up to the coloring bookfor us. That's the same book that
you gave me, right the noo. Yeah, this is one. Yeah,
I think I left leave it inthe caws like you gave. So
this is the last one that Ihave. You can either buy this one
(26:14):
or because it's thirty dollars, oryou can buy four of these, which
makes this one. For example,it'll give you the definition of a one
of the boar. A boar isa bravery, command in control and fighting
spirit. Different places of the world. Um, you will have different meanings
of different animals, for example,a cougar of a mountain lion, and
(26:41):
it represents um leadership and taking chargeof one's life and circumstances and tuition and
strength. So you can color indifferent things. That coyote and the Native
Americans used to call them a tricksteranimal. It wasn't like a good or
bad. It was just like shouldI trust I have got you? It
had different things like people might thinkthat somebody's animals are evil or malicious or
(27:07):
superstitious. But when you reached outwhat it stands for from different context of
Native Americans, you get to seemore. You could take a look at
it. Yeah, information on theanimals. Yeah, yeah, see,
I told you you're going to thatcopy keep one that copy right here,
right, And also you have abunch of the like octopus. No,
you guys sound it out, Uh, I just messed with today. Yeah.
(27:37):
But through the process, it wasn'tthis. This happened simultaneously while I
started getting my LLC. I didn'tknow nothing about it, about how to
establish one. Lewis was a greathelp to me in my life, and
yes, was just the greatest husbandover there snoring and all right. One
(28:03):
of the things is that when whenthe pandemic arrived, UM, I saw
that I wasn't really preparing my mompassed away in two thousand and nine.
That led to, like, arewe prepared for any of us? You
know? So what can I doto um have my children not go through
what I did with my mother?And I said, so, I funeral
(28:26):
things are expensive and that's that's alot. So then I said, well,
let me start small things. Solike as you see that, I
started doing small things. Then itdidn't hold nothing unless I have in a
corporate limited liability corporation to do that. I went through the steps I invested
here and simultaneously, with the graceof the above, I landed a great
(28:52):
job called the bronx Net community calledbronx Net TV, which helped me,
um get the funds and not forme to invest. So all things that
I was gathering, I was justmoving it, pushing it, moving it
and pushing it. But the creativenesswas in the was always consistent because I
can, I can create. Butnow what can I do with the creation?
(29:15):
Now I can aid in helping likemothers and children, or and help
those are curious about like spirituality throughthe American eyes. But it wasn't enough.
So now I'm in a pivotal pointof what's my next step? And
that's where I am here. Now. Yeah, I understand, Yeah,
(29:37):
now I understand what you're saying,like and uh so I know that you
have murals, a couple of muralsaround the city. Um, I know
you have a lot of artwork aroundthe city. You want to like,
tell us some of the places,I mean, you can go the viewers
can go check it out. Yes, they mostly are in Manhattan. The
(29:59):
ones in the wrongs are, Imean, the one in Brooklyn no longer
exists because they got painted over.The one that that I enjoyed the most
was a five story high Dizzy Gillespie'sone hundred and thirty fifth between seventh and
eighth Avenue and it's across the streetfrom the police station. And oh you
(30:22):
did that. Yeah, that's well, there's two mirrors, two large ones,
and I did one towards the interiorand the first time learning how to
use a scissor lift and a cherrypecker. I am. That's that's one
there and then one hundred and thirtyfour Street, third stry that's another mirror
that I did of a hand placinga plant into the half of a child's
(30:48):
face, meaning that in order fora childhood girl, you had to plant
the seed. The idea is tonurture. So if you pass down something
to a young one, the likelihoodof them nurture, being nurtured and taken
care of is um what we're lookingforward to the higher and that's why I
put it in. Yeah, that'swhat my dad used to say. He's
(31:11):
say, well, if you feedhim the girl, that's what he was
saying. Maybe he was a littleoff with the same. So yeah,
that's what that and I have.I was so grateful enough to actually go
to Serbia in Europe to go welland a portion of a large mural and
(31:32):
there's an artist named dist He introducedme to the organization and shout out to
dister or being an outstanding Washington Heightsprolific artists from from the area. He
shout out to Washington Heights. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So,
yes, he was cool. Hegave me and I was there for
like a week and I learned alot about uh language. Um, I
(31:57):
was him and I are are likeof our complexion. So a lot of
people were just staring like like arewe visiting or are we staying? It
was like this miss this accused asI was told, just right, I'm
just saying, though I can't helpit. This is that's who I am.
(32:20):
I'm supposed to act like somebody I'mnot like Noah, but I get
it. I get it. Isee it happen. Actually, well,
you said something to me last week. So I did, like a little
a little voice over. He's like, oh, that's a great Mexican be
tweaking, you be tweaking, yoube tweaking. Can I say that's dope?
(32:44):
Wanta like that's that's dope. Iwanted to be an artist, but
I didn't have the patience. Youknow. Yeah, I was, Yeah,
