EVENT: A LOTS BEEN GOOD, 2022
A LOTS BEEN GOOD concept art/flyer by Pluto.
At A Lot's Been Good, we wanted to create a safe space for artists, creatives, and individuals alike to spread their wings. A space where everyone can come together, be themselves, and enjoy local artwork, fashion, and music. We were two innovative artists who want to show our potential on a competitive platform once again. Same goals, different playground.

Milestones
Pluto! At The Disco, 2020
Pluto! At the Disco was our first show with the same goal as A Lot's Been Good. A Lot's Been Good was a representation of our growth as artists, thinkers, and people. Pluto! At the Disco was an amazing eye-opening experience, but A Lot's Been Good since then (see what we did there lol).
Set The World On Fire, 2018
Set The World On Fire was Tommy’s first trial run as someone new to the fashion world. An experimental project signifying the start of something greater.
A Lot's Been Good was a personal project for us to signify our growth as artists from our first show, Pluto! At The Disco. It also provided a larger message for the masses. We wanted our audience to see our growth and we wanted them to grow as well. A Lot's Been Good is a showcase about and for Growth. With the symbolism of trees, reoccurring vendors, and improvement of our craft, we hoped to have hit the nail on the head with our intended message.

With a vending lineup consisting of Drama Club Kids, PLOOTZZ, MAJIKESSENCE, REDRAGON Clothing, Nayani Rose, Asyia, and 1081sqmi, A Lots Been Good was sure to be a hit. Not to mention DJ sets by KiiiNGSLEY + LibraStar, and performances by Tommyy, Elias the Infinite, kilaM, and Amindi. Honestly, there was so much talent in the building. The show also had a fashion show, which showed off Drama Club Kid’s latest collection. You had to be there to see it.

Receiving funding from Converse was such an eye-opening experience and really put things into perspective for us. Having support from a brand we admired creatively added a lot of pressure, but also made us confident to uphold a certain standard for the event. Being Converse All-Star members has been such a great experience for Tommy and me and this is only the beginning.

The day of the event was honestly such a blur. So much was happening at once. There’s not much I remember, but the support was amazing. So many people showed up and had a great time. The vibes were great and I’m glad the artists were able to show off their work.
I was able to debut PLOOTZZ, which was a success. I was floored by the amount of support I received from those who showed up to the event. It definitely put things into perspective. Things are definitely just getting started.
But overall, A Lots Been Good was a HUGE learning experience for me. But it definitely pushed me in the direction I’m heading now.
