The Artist Ed "King Of The Body Paint"

1. The Artist Ed
Edward Joseph aka, “The Artist Ed” grew up in PG County, MD, playing sports and
enjoying his favorite passion, art. Surprisingly, art wasn't his main focus growing up. He
spent most of his time in high school playing football. Due to financial hardships with
his family, he was forced to move to Washington, DC; thus, his focus shifted from
playing football, to helping out his family, financially.
While living in Washington, DC, Ed noticed a new fashion trend of hand painted
shirts. He was intrigued by its popularity and thought, to himself, "Hey, I can do this
myself." A good friend gave Ed fabric paint and encouraged him to experiment. During
this time, his family moved back to PG County, MD and Ed attended High Point High
School, where he finally got an opportunity for a fresh start with, not only his craft, but
academically, as well. During his stay at High Point, one of his classmates asked him to
make a t-shirt that read "Bronx." His other classmates, and even the administrators, were so impressed, that everybody
in school started ordering custom shirts.
After high school, Ed continued his education at Prince George's Community College, where he also, sold his custom
made shirts. One day, Ed went to visit his good friend “Justice,” who happened to know the owner of the #1 clothing
Company who specialized in custom made shirts, Miskeen Originals. Justice introduced Ed to the owner and he was very
impressed with Ed’s work and offered him a job in Philadelphia, PA.
Ed, once an Artist/Designer for Miskeen, networked and marketed the brand, in order to build relationships with
various Artists/Celebrities, by designing them custom shirts. The owner of Miskeen took notice to Ed's undeniable
marketing skills and aided his effort, by providing travel for Ed to attend various events. While in Atlanta, GA
Ed connected with various Music Video Directors. One in particular, was “Gabriel Hart.” Gabe was shooting "My
President Is Black" by Young Jeezy featuring Nas, and invited Ed and his partner Abu, to paint a floor mural for the main
scene of the music video. This led Ed to more opportunities to paint for other music videos such as, B.O.B, TI and Playboy
Tre's "Bet I Bust," 8Ball, MJG featuring Young Dro, "DJ Bring It Back"
One day while in Nashville, TN, Ed was visiting one of the stores who sold Miskeen's merchandise, and the store
owners, asked him to body paint for their one year anniversary party. The crowd was very impressed with this form of
art, so Ed knew that he had to start this new trend in Washington, DC. He painted at various clubs in Washington, DC and
garnered so much attention, that Ed was being hired weekly to body paint at parties. From this exposure, various
photographers became very interested in working with Ed. He then began having professional photo shoots with local
models, which took his vision of body painting to another level. With each shoot, his talent evolved. Models and
photographers anticipated working with him.
Due to the success of his body painting and photo shoots, Ed's popularity grew, and he had a true following. He knew it
was finally time to cut ties with Miskeen, and take the next step in his journey to create, "The Artist Ed." Ed knew that
the perfect location to help him “jump start” his new company was Atlanta, GA.
Ed is currently in Atlanta, GA and continues to design custom clothing, canvases, murals, and his latest niche, body
painting. Ed cannot end his day without giving credit to God. He knows that without HIM, all of the resources and
opportunities that he has been given, would not be possible.
