ANNOUNCEMENT: NEW BOOK COMING THIS SUMMER!/ALL BLACK EVERYTHING EXPLAINED!
A majority of Kevin Eleven’s social media sites have been covered with this black avi over the past few months signifying his hiatus.
Hello everyone,
I would like to announce that this summer I have a new book coming out. The book at hand is a follow-up to my debut novel called, Tales of the 23rd Precinct. You can find out more information about it in the newly written press release by my publisher,����here. Also, if you happen to follow me on social media, whether it be twitter, Facebook, or even Instagram, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve been barely active on some (twitter) and non-existent on others (Facebook & Instagram).
More importantly, besides being ghost on all of these social media platforms, I’ve also been sporting an all black avi on most of these sites which symbolically represents my silence as I prepare myself for what will be an action packed summer with my small indie��publisher, Flowered��Concrete, and as well as my book��launch for my forthcoming untitled project.
The black avi you have been seeing lately on these��websites��have multiple meanings as well. It represents peace, space, isolation, contemplation, and as well as a world with no politics as everything is consumed by darkness. Albeit, however, this does not mean I am depressed which I’m sure many people may presume due to my inactivity as of late.
The blackness for me represents a time of focus and as well as intensity as I am usually scrambling to get things done and projects completed. As I am now back on social media (as of today) I want you all to know that my time is now as I will do everything that I possibly can to keep you guys focused, in tuned and highly engaged throughout the next few months on this blog and as well as the Flowered Concrete website. Stay tuned over the next few months as my book pre-launch begins NOW!!!

Flowered Concrete Continues Literacy Workshop at South Jamaica Library in Queens, New York. 4/15/2015
Dear Flowered Concrete Followers,
���Zines To Reach Your Dreams��� Info
As of last Wednesday, April 15th, Flowered Concrete continued their ���Zines To Reach Your Dreams��� Workshop at South Jamaica Library. This time around, however, our CEO/Founder, Kevin Anglade, is tackling it solo as Alton Taylor, our lead art director has other obligations to take care of.
Moreover, so far, so good as the teens at the library were very enthralled with what Anglade presented them with and as well as prepared in lessons.
Going forward, Flowered Concrete���s mission with the current group at hand is to enhance their writing abilities while providing them with the confidence to push forward their imaginations.
In due time, the group will play games with Anglade as he plans on combining literacy and as well as entertainment from today���s media and���

Kevin Anglade & Alton Taylor on set shooting Latest Vlog for Book��Frundraiser Campaign at Washington Square Park
Dear Flowered Concrete Followers,
We honestly hope that you all are��well. Earlier this month, we here at Flowered Concrete were courteously invited to attend the first annual Queens Book Festival.
Therefore, due to a lack of finance in supporting ourselves to attend this event, starting next week on the 6th of April, we here at��Flowered Concrete will launch an online crowdfunding campaign on indiegogo.com to raise money for the first��inaugral Queens Book Festival itself.
The book festival will take place in Queens, New York City on Saturday, June 20th, at Citi-Field, which is the home of the MLB baseball franchise, The New York Mets and it is our biggest of hopes that we can possibly attend this extraordinary literary extravaganza.
Below, you will be able to read the entire sample of our campaign���

Flowered Concrete���s Alton Taylor and Kevin Anglade compete in an artistic face off involving their professions.
Dear Flowered Concrete Followers,
We are very happy to announce that the first leg of the ���Zines To Reach Your Dreams��� literacy tour has officially come to an end at Cambria Heights Library in Queens, New York. Throughout the entire run of the three week workshop, (instructed and moderated by both Kevin Anglade and Alton Taylor) the teens were able to learn the basic elements and fundamentals of drawing and as well as creative writing.
In the first week of program, students were taught basic drawing by use of stick figures and were introduced to��literary devices.
In the program���s second week, students were taught basic body��shapes and formed narratives surrounding the perspectives of their drawn body shapes (character). Week two was also a week that consisted of interactive games as the students learned a���
