HAND-PAINTED DREAMS ( THE MOGUL GIRL INTERVIEW WITH AARON BALL)

"During your life, never stop dreaming . No one can take away your dreams". I am a full believer in that quote. I love seeing my peers do what they love and make their dream's reality. I discovered Aaron Ball and his self-designed shirts on Instagram. I quickly became interested in his unique art and fashion.I think his brand is popping already. So I reached, out to him for an interview. In fact he's the first to be interviewed on The Mogul Minute in 2015. Aaron Ball 21, of Oklahoma City is hand painting his dreams one shirt at a time. Aaron is attending University of Central Oklahoma for graphic design. His brand "AbDesignedIt" is expanding every day. So to all The Mogul Minute readers, I introduce to you "Aaron Ball".

Aaron Ball: I have been interested in fashion and setting trends since about age 14. I recently grew my passion for Art towards the end of 2013.

2.) The Mogul Girl :What did you paint on your first shirt?
Aaron Ball : I honestly can’t remember. I have an older cousin that I learned art techniques from last year. Once I got it down packed, I  practced everyday. I started painting different things on shirts and different techniques until I started to enjoy the craft and master it.
Yet I'm still learning more and more each day.

3.)The Mogul Girl So your from Oklahoma City. Where's your favorite place to eat? 
Aaron Ball: Yes, born and raised in Oklahoma City. Red Lobster.

4.The Mogul Girl: If you were teaching your own graphic design class, what would your first lesson be?
Aaron Ball: This is a hard one. I’ve always thought of myself as an innovative designer and thinker . When I started college 3 years ago my major was Psychology. It wasn’t until I fell in love with my craft last year that I changed my major to Graphic Design. Therefore I am still pretty new to the classroom setting lessons. Most of what I know about art and design so far is via hours of self research.
