"Art Is Never Finished, Only Abandoned." Da Vinci
Claude Thompson chronicles his "Hustle & Flowers", in Detroit. He's cross promoting his Flower shop, and, "Those That Flow", together, to an Anthology of Music, @ HoodFlorist.com. The term Anthology comes from the Greek word anthologia, meaning a "collection of Flowers".
Claude is pitching "Hood-Florist", a "Hood-Flick", to be filmed at "CAM-Florist | Detroit". He's writing a fictional story about "Claude". He's retired Music producer, "CLAWED De Beats". He signed contracts with "CAM-Florist", when his mentor, (Chef Joy RD), was killed in his studio.
A non-compete clause, prevents "Claude" from collaborating, with other Florists. A morality clause keeps him from starring in a reality show, Hustle & Flowers. So, he spins-off "CLAWED De Florist", Underground, to avoid conflicts of interests, with "CAM-Florist".
So, follow Claude Thompson, as he writes a "Hood-Florist" story. The Plot: "Claude Neighbors", gives "CAM-Florist | Detroit", his Movie credits, instead of his Artist BRAND "CLAWED De Florist @ HoodFlorist.com". Because he couldn't kill CLAWED, again, he BLOGS, pseudonymously.
