Wake Up...

Since I have been working on my book.. I have been waking up pretty early ready and inspired for the next day of drawing...I always had a bad sleeping problem... I even went to a doctor for the problem... I started morning jogging..eatting breakfast ... But I think this book is helping my mind the most... Releasing those ideas I've had on my mind on paper is helping me sleep now...a lifestyle change was needed....being able to sleep now feels amazing... Less things on my mind to keep me up at night.

I alway miss Tuki's Hollyweerd shows because of work but Saturday night I got off work early to see Tuki in action in this art battle...I did it last year so this time it was my brothers turn.... I get excited when I see Tuki doing art...

Miya Bailey Tattoos Melvin Todd

This was a long time coming....after the past 2 years I have watched Tattoo artist Melvin Todd (www.melvintodd.com) grow to be one of the best tattoo artists in the country....I have watch his style evolve and it's growing daily... Last week me & Melvin put out heads together... He wanted me to do a chest piece for him...Melvin designed it himself... Which is dope because Melvin's style of drawing make perfect body art....I wanted to stick with his design but at the sametime add a small touch of my own style in there too...I was also honored to also put the City of Ink "Dripping Star" on him.... I really like Melvin Todd and Im glad he's part of our tattoo family. I can't wait to get more work from him myself...
