This is the hooded visage of TuTchTmuse extraordinaire, NYC-based top international model Valentine Rontez (IMG) currently lending his powerful visual influence to the designers, creatives, lenses, runways & countless sets of eyes in Milan. @x.valentine @TuTchTIG #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #Halloween #ValentineRontez #TuTchTTreat #CandyCorn #HalloweenNostalgia #IndustryStalwarts #Valentineisback #TutchTmuse #ValentineTuTchT https://www.instagram.com/p/CVs9Ib0PJmx/?utm_medium=tumblr

As with every July Fourth for the last several years, I’m spending the day in the TuTchTlab creating a new American Swag portrait. With tanks scattered around the capitol grounds, secretive internment camps on the borders with a (temporary) head of state who is openly defying Supreme Court rulings while embarrassingly seeking approval from the world’s most vicious Authoritarians… deep breath… it is a VERY disturbingly ironic “Independence Day” - I’m feeding my soul today, though, with a moving portrait of a great African-American who exemplifies the embracing, humanitarian spirit that is at the core of our country’s greatness. It will take several more days to complete but HAVE A GREAT, INSPIRING FOURTH, TuTchTFam! (Keep watching for the finished piece, which will be the 25th portrait in the series.) . S/O to one of my favorite brothers in the Industry, Valentine, subject of this joint, “Tide Bearer” the twenty-third portrait in the American Swag series, 2017. This is a detail of the full-sized joint. (S/O to Tarrice Love who’s work helped inform this piece.) . @x.valentine @TuTchTig #TuTchT #TuTchTImaging #ThruTuTchTEyes #American Swag #TuTchTAmericanSwag #TuTchTModelPortraits #Valentine #ValentineRontez #TuTchTFav #ValentineTuTchT #TuTchTPortraitSeries #TideBearer #JulyFourth #IndependenceDay https://www.instagram.com/p/BzgUZduFZwo/?igshid=tzvscqrwe45l

TuTchTMas AFTERGLOW - VALENTINE for SAKS TuTchTFam Valentine lent his classic beaming smile to NYC’s storied retailer Saks Fifth Avenue this season. They knew only a warm, sincere, million-watt smile could stand side-by-side with their world-famous store lighting ceremony which lit the legendary street with a jaw-dropping array of sparking state-of-the-art luminous magic. This year’s Saks-Disney collab was a Frozen-themed spectacular featuring a shimmering original score and live performance by “Let it Go” vocalist Idina Menzel. . Greatness is, indeed, everywhere for those with an eye to see it. Holiday kuddos, Saks, for honing in on the considerable talents of Mr. Valentine Rontez. His infectious smile definitely did its infectious trick as smiling on-lookers lined the streets to see Saks’ famous facade light up the city. Not even his canine cohort in the spot was immune, donning a holiday ear-to-ear. . Having followed this young brother from the earliest days of his career, I know that even with a resume which is the envy of the rank and file, the total package of what he has to offer is still largely slumbered on. He is truly a gift that will keep on giving throughout the coming new decade. So as you hang up your holiday apparel, keep your proverbial peeled-eye donned to catch more magic from this amazing guy! —- You may have also caught Valentine in the Ralph Lauren Polo holiday campaign, another touchstone of traditional All-Americanism. . (The TuTchTmas Afterglow series is my way of bringing a little extra holiday shine to some work that may have gotten lost in the Holiday shuffle. I believe a great visual is timeless & always deserves a second look. So I sprinkle them with a little TuTchTness and re-present them in afterglow of the traditional season. ) . Valentine is repped worldwide by IMG, NYC, LA, Milano & London. The shimmering imagery was captured by noted lensman Eric Ray Davidson. @x.valentine @Saks @ericraydavidson @imgmodels #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #Valentine #SaksFifthAvenue #TuTchTmasAfterglow #TuTchTFam #ValentineTuTchT #SuperstarMaleModels #IMGModels #EricRayDavidsonphotography #TuTchTmas https://www.instagram.com/p/B6_yA2-Fhug/?igshid=3tdlbl2ga35t
