Enter Kage: 

The Creative Kage Production agency was started by James Hammond, a 90s baby from the South Bronx. The name Kage comes from a variation of my high school nickname Kage (pronounced kah-gay), which means shadow in Japanese. My art stems from nostalgia, and my many experiences in life. Everything from my food, to my music, to any kind of visual art is make to make feel you feel youthful, and take you back to those "good old days". 

Throughout my years of living I've gone to school for architecture, cartooning and animation, I have an associates in construction technology management, and a bachelors in hospitality management with a focus in Culinary Arts Management. My many experiences have taken me to all sorts of amazing places in life and I've had time to really craft multiple skills over the years. I have an appreciation of all sorts of art and creativity in general, and I also love to color outside the lines and skew as far as possible from "conventional" forms of art. I aspire to be an artist who's allowed to be himself, not a brand or something I have to stick to, because I'm truly genuinely interested in life itself and all the different variations in which people live it. 

I've been cooking professionally since 2012, but I've been cooking since I was 10 years old. I've worked at restaurants all over NYC, as well as some places such as the Otesaga Resort where I got to cook for baseball players, hall-of-famers, and the heavy load of people who visited the summer. I've been a private chef for playwrights, actors, and people all over the tri-state area. I spent 2016 - 2020 teaching cooking classes for everyone from ages 2 to whatever teaching all sorts of cuisines: Desserts, healthy foods, French Cuisine, Italian Cuisine, Sushi and Dumplings, Thai food, Indian Food, recipes that focused with wine and beer, and much much more. I also spent the last 2 summers making connections with restaurants and organized a kids cooking camp where we went out to eat at the restaurants and then would recreate what we would eat at the restaurants.
There's no real limit to what I can cook, Currently I offer food prep, catering, and home meal services. 

I've been taking pictures professionally for 3 years now. I always had an eye for photography, as the "token guy who would carry the camera" among his friends. I do all sorts of photography, but my favorite is candid photography, unplanned pictures of the moment. I have some pictures here of models, all sorts of events, nature and different landscapes, and everything few and far between. I love capturing the beauty of any moment, and bringing out the best of it by capturing it at the right time, and then editing it after wards to enhance the moment (or not).
Hit me up anytime to do a photo shoot,  capture a moment, capture an event, or fix up pics that you already have, I do touch ups as well!

I've been shooting videos professionally for about 3 years now. Similarly to photography I love the visual representation of what a video can be. I like how a video can tell the story of a person, or of an event, or even inform you about things you didn't even think you need to know about. I make music videos, artist highlight videos, and reels. In 2019 I made a mockumentary called "420". Give all the videos a look! And if you need me to record something, or edit something for ya let me know!

Music is a very important part of my life. I've spent most of my life singing songs that got got stuck into people's head, ask my best friend about my song I made when I was 13 called "I named my baby mustard" I spent 2013 - 2015 as a director of a glee club, sang all over Delhi, NY, sang the National Anthem for Relay for Life events and parades and sang Christmas carols at hospitals for elderly and disabled. From 2015 - 2018 I sang as a personality at a piano bar singing all sorts of covers to keep the crowd entertained. 
My musical name Kage Rimikkusu, means Shadow Remix, as I, Kage take music and make my own version, a remix out of them. I love Anime music, and feel like their openings and closings are often skipped over, but I appreciate them. My channel KageRimikkusu shows some anime covers as well as some covers of pop songs as well. My original music spans across all genres but keeps the theme of individuality and being yourself. 

I've been doing art in a professional sense since 2006. I graduated from Art and Design High School with a focus in cartooning Animation and have not stopped drawing ever sense. My art is definitely non conventional, but is cool because of that. I use colors, techniques, and methods that most people disapprove of, but I think in the end it makes the art look better. I'm the kind of guy to color out the lines to show you the aura of a character. I do all sorts of commissions, and all sorts of mediums.
 I draw, ink color, paint, do digital work, and do all graphic and logo design as well. Contact me for a commission anytime. 

Over all I want to make the world a better place. I would be a politician, but I feel like you always become corrupted in that path to helping people. I feel like I could help people more in my creative messages, and spreading positive vibes among the planet. In upcoming years I plan to open a creative facility in low income areas for kids and adults in need to have a facility to create things, to teach and have kids grow and develop their cooking skills, art, photography, music studios, and events for people of all ages.
