The Artist About To Take The World By Storm
http://www.filippagowski.com/


As a student and a lover of the arts, fewer things bother me more than seeing someones work everywhere and the general public having no idea who created it, though they are interacting with it on a regular basis.

Seemingly out of nowhere, Comme Des Garcons dropped their "PLAY" collection, though the brand has been on the cutting edge of fashion for years the "PLAY" collection featuring the heart above has become a staple in the fashion world. The collection was so popular that Comme Des Garcons even collaborated with Converse to put the heart on their shoes. What is crazy about this isn't the collection, but the man behind iconic heart.

Filip Pagowski was born in Poland and eventually moved to New York City to pursue a career in graphic design after attending the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. Along with Comme Des Garcons he has had other major clients such as The New York Times, Saks 5th Avenue and Diane Von Furstenberg just to name a few. It is insane that though most people have seen his work at one point in their life, they don't know his name (not to mention the fact that he doesn't even have a Wikipedia page and you can hardly find a photograph of the artist himself).

But it seems like Pagowski's time in the sun may finally be on it's way. Filip was commissioned to design the cover for Drake's latest single from his fourth coming album, "Views From The 6" dropping this April, "Summer Sixteen," in which he says that his swimming pool is bigger than Kanye's (not true, Kanye has 3 pools) but that's besides the point. Once the single dropped people began to draw connections of the similarities of the cover art to that of things like the Comme Des Garcons collection and Filip began creating some much deserved buzz.

A few days after the release of the single, we got something else. Drake loves dropping hints across the 6 aka his hometown of Toronto about when the album is going to be released and it looks like Filip had something to do with the latest one. Over night in Toronto appeared a billboard saying only "VIEWS" and it has Pagowski written all over it. This doesn't come as a huge surprise as Drake has been a fan of Filip and the "PLAY" collection for quite some time now but the publicity he's given him by shouting him out for the cover art on Instagram has certainly helped Filip become more of a household name in the art world.

The official cover art for "Views From The Six" is yet to be released but we can only hope that the pattern will continue and it will be done by Pagowski.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
