An Interview with the Creators of Cool Socks Bruh
By Roger Tino Morales in Chicago/Vivelo Hoy
The Art of Capturing the Daily Routine in a Product
CHICAGO - The simple, the interesting, the funny, the popular around the world, is what we try to capture in each product launched on the market Ricardo "Mouse" Rivera and Tim Nicholson, co-owners of 'Cool Socks Bruh' .
Both established the company in January last year and say business is booming because their customers identify with their pieces, which simply reflect the natural, normal culture in which they are immersed.
From socks to mugs or candles the image of either a rapper, or late singer Selena Quintanilla or the Chicago Bulls, they all give life to 'Cool Socks Bruh'.

In each product, Rivera and Nicholson trying to capture not only the inspiration of his own, but that of those around them. Childhood experiences when playing Nintendo; adolescence when one tried smoking, and even dreams of having a Rolex.
Rivera and Nicholson say that creativity has been part of their lives for so long.
Rivera has worked for years in the boutique Saint Alfreds in Wicker Park, and Nicholson has years dedicated to graphics for video games; But not everything comes from there, much of his inspiration he says he gets from his friends, the sensitivity surrounding painters, musicians, fashion designers, and it reflect on his label, and the designs of their products.

How did the idea to establish the business come about?
Ricardo J. Rivera: It was an idea that Tim and I started. It all started when I took a pair of socks with the image of the rapper Camron. Not made with the idea of selling them, I made them for me, I showed them to my friends and it all started when I put them on the internet.
Where does the passion come from?
Rivera: I am creative, it's cultural, it comes from inside. (It's about) what one sees every day, the music plays, television shows you see, to be on the internet all day. I want everything you do in your daily routine to be integrated into our creation.
Tim Nicholson: The passion and inspiration comes from many sides, of different things. The people are what really inspires me (because) everybody does something creative, music, photography or painting. All that inspires me and helps me create.
A most famous pair of socks designed by 'Cool Socks Bruh' was the replica of a bag of Hot Cheetos. ROGER TINO MORALES | TODAY
And when how do you handle when times get tough?
TN: Things are not easy, but we are fighting to establish a brand and starting from scratch. What you invest is what you get back
RR: When the going gets tough usually what I try to do is stay positive as I can. That comes from my mom and dad who were immigrants when they came here, they had nothing. Now when I do business, patience keeps me serene.

What distinguishes your brand?
TN: Fun. Life is short and we must make it pleasant, we want to create and inspire people because we were also inspired.
RR: Our creations make different homes shine. (Consumers)acquire items with which they identify with.

What have you learned from your business?
TN: That any thought you have, you can make it happen when you put your energy into it.
RR: I learned to be more serious, to be patient, to be a little more cautious, answer timely and to be punctual.
How does it feel to receive orders from all over the world?
TN: We think of the borders and lines that separate countries; and that people like the same things as us; indeed the first store that sold our products were in Japan!
RR: Seeing that our brand is consumed by the (Japanese) culture teaches us that we also have followers there. We're just trying to get ahead. Art is universal and what we bring is better.

How do you take advantage of social networks?
TN: They play a huge role, that is how we have expanded. One reason why many people knew of us was because our friends Curt and Josh (Flosstradamus), were posted us in their social networks. Then other friends shared photos of our products on Tumblr and Instagram and we got exposure among his followers.
RR:The internet was a crucial way to promote the company. You don't necessarily have to go to CoolSocksBruh.com you can go to Instigram, Facebook, or Tumblr or any of these networks (and that were you'll find us). It is a way to grow.
What advice would you give to other entrepreneurs?
TN: People use social networks for fame, but fame will not pay your bills. You must find a balance, know how and when to use them.
RR: Give attention to the people who have turned their attention to you. Take care of the people who have been interested in your product; it will help you before you get lost in the world of social networks, which is actually very small.

JAPANESE MONK TATSUMI MIXES FROM HIS HOSPITAL BED
The only limitations are those you set for yourself.
This past Aprli FACT covered the fascinating and sad story of Tatsumi, a Japanese monk who is also apt at scratching, beatboxing and skateboarding.
Tatsumi was one of the central characters in the documentary KanZeOn, a meditation on buddhism and sound, that has been praised for its unique angle and storytelling. Earlier this year the makers of the documentary reached out to let us know that Tatsumi had completed an album, a staggering journey through eletronic music, as well as sharing the news that he had been diagnosed with a serious illness.
Following on from Joe Muggs’ interview with Tatsumi, we have a video preview of a mix he completed while in hospital, performed entirely from his bed. The mix is intended as a thank you for all the support Tatsumi has received so far. Despite its setting the video also affirms it is possible to stay upbeat while undergoing chemotherapy. And as a comical side note, apparently on the other side of the dividing curtains you can see in the video were three men in their 80s wondering what the hell was going on.
You can watch the mix preview below and head over to Soundcloud to stream and download it. There is also a full length video of the mix.
In addition you can also stream and download an exclusive non album track, ‘distance’, beneath the video. Tatsumi’s album, Travel Through Worlds is released on Bandcamp on June 21st. There are already two album tracks available if you want to hear more.
