Village Revival Records is located on Bleecker Street in the heart of the West Village. You don't get more Greenwich Village than this....

Where the hell did the time go this year. We are now in the middle of August and change is a'brewing. Feel like I always say that change is on the horizon, but I really feel it now. Perhaps it's all the recent drama in my life or just the overwhelming and endless stress of Covid. But, there's something to be said for mental health. Right now, trying to hone in all the energy that I exude. There's business Storm, artist Storm, and human Storm -- these three pillars in my perso

These photos were taken a couple of years ago at my home studio by photographer, Kim Souzy. It's a perfect visual timestamp on my creative transition of design and mindset. A chaotic cornucopia of clothing –– an end of an era, but the start of renewal. Sometimes looking back at older photos becomes such an education about your own persona. I'm exactly the same, but 100% different today. Evolution is change, but it's really more about embracing the cumulative collections of se

In memory for East Village legend, Jimmy Webb , Storm Ritter collaborated with musicians of the Lower East Side band, Bad Vacation and photographer Matt Aquino to launch a fundraiser in his honor. After Jimmy's passing in 2020, the collaborative team aimed to raise funds for his favorite non-profit. A large percentage of the proceeds was directly donated to Road Recovery. The program works with youth downtown Manhattan, creating safe spaces fueled with music and art. The f

Typically I accept custom orders featuring my personal artwork, but I do love catering to interpretations and prompts. My one client,...

When I look in the mirror, I try to look as though I'm looking at a photo of myself from a year ago. You know what I'm referring to -- that crazy brain fuck where you wish you appreciated everything about that moment and yourself more. If you are the same person you were a year ago, you’re not growing. Obviously last year at this time, we were all chaotic versions of ourselves. But what’s thrilling is now we have the control to live differently.What's so motivating is the fa

Spending time reflecting upon choices, chances, & changes; it’s so easy to be emotionally influenced — yet so compelling to use every type of energy to empower your path. Past few days, I've felt a tad distracted by energies and paths that weren't my own. Took time this Sunday to reflect during my run and regroup my thoughts for new paintings and stories to tell. The best inspiration comes from yourself, so taking time to look within is so BIG. Writing is a huge outlet, rooti

Dress for the soul — with my Hungarian gypsy roots, there’s no questioning my love for headscarves & esoteric vibes. The older the get the more I feel a connection to old world practices, elevating my search for the divine in my artwork. Currently working on a new body of work, but taking a moment to reflect. Also spent a few hours on the roof suntanning the other day and my soul felt fire!

2020 was taken from us all, stripping normalcy from everyone. Now, May 2021, we slowly are falling into optimistic mindsets, revitalized...

People ask me if I’m going to open up another shop in the village. Ah, the rent, man! But I’m reminded how special community places are, like Village Revival Records. I was bumming around Macdougal street last night with my friend Justin (@shotalive) & stopped by the record shop - which was closed early for holiday. Luckily bumped into my the shop owner, Jamal, who opened just so we could snap some flickaronies (RIP Ricky Powell) Records to me are soul fulfilling, and so is a

Sun is coming out, restaurants/stores are fully opening up, and people are emerging from their caves. 2021 in NYC feels hopeful, and I'm feeling zealously free. I am the conductor of my own life, and I'm fortunate enough to be a dedicated hustler. In that sense, I work hard, focus on creating authentic works of art, and throw myself into sales/marketing on a regular basis. My life is my business, in many ways. But now that we are moving out of the dark days of pandemic, I do
