A Look Inside: Odd Humans Co.

Odd Humans Co. is the brainchild, movement, and vision of my bro Davontae Owens. The purpose of Odd Humans Co is to inspire and create love. Odd Humans Co. wants to influence other individuals to dream, aspire and create through any medium they choose. Odd Humas Co has done this already through two compilation albums and their awesome photography team. In the future Odd Humans Co. plans to add clothing to their arsenal. "Odd Humans Co. is a clothing line created by myself , Davontae Owens based on the philosphy of the Enso Circle of Enlightenment, Strength, Creativity, & Elegance. This is a clothing line created by the positive Spirits from all over this planet. We are all one positive force . Clear mind , body , & soul . Anything is possible . Creative Innovators we are . Product Architects . Created in 2010" - Davontae Owens

Well all met through facebook and twitter. We became cool friends and I seen that all three of them are interested in photogrpahy and they have dope pictures. Asked them to join the team and they all agreed.

How Did you come up with the Idea for Odd Humans Co.?

It came to me as a dream actually. I was sleeping and I was dreaming about sitting in a big office just constantly creating garments, paintings and etc. The name came to me from thinking about The cool kids that don't have anyone to voice their opinion and Odd Humans Co help all of the "weird" kids express theirselves through the arts

Could you explain the trademark design and what it represents?

The design is an Enso circle. The circle stands for Enlightenment, creativity, and refinement. The circle is left open to let people experience different things in their life. This circle is painted in the spare of the moment with a clear mind.

How did you come up with the idea for Odd Humans Co?

I just wanted to enrich people with positive vibes and love for a better world and it'll slowly take effect on this world. Love is stronger than hate.

While creating, I love to listen to artful instrumentals, soul music and I also close my eyes and just let my mind wander.

How do you keep yourself motivated?

I read alot of quotes on life and inspiring stories. Above all, my mother is my number one motivation because she provided for me and now it's my turn to do the same for her. Hvae her living comfortably.

Is OddHumansCo. looking into any other ventures outside of fashion?

Other than photography and painting, probably not but if something comes up and I like the idea, i'll be more than happy to be apart of it.

The purpose of Odd Humans Co is to stand out from all brands. I want to do more than just create clothes. I want to send a message that the world should be a better place. Spread love not hate.
