My good friend in Las Vegas moved back here which means I'll be staying in Detroit now. We've been making music together ever since he got back. He picked up an MPC1000 which is really fucking sweet and now our beats are platinum.Watch out.
Yesterday I spent the entire day in East Lansing at splash of color tattoos. Let me just say that their shop is the best I've seen so far and I've been in quite a few all over Michigan. It's so neat and clean, the artists are all really good(which is an understatement), the shop itself has a great atmosphere, and everyone is just very friendly and laid back. I photographed a lot of really amazing tattoos and a bunch of nicely done piercings as well. I also took some of the shop and staff. I kept pretty busy throughout the day. They were busy too which is why I was unable to get any ink done myself but the manager handed me a 250 dollar gift certificate for when I set something up to come back She also dubbed me their official shop photographer which I think is rad. Tthey send a lot of stuff out to various magazines and publications and some of their artists have won awards and such for their work. They're kind of a big deal. World renowned. So yeah, I'm totally psyched about that. More tattoo shops need to hit me up now that I have experience in that field.
I picked up my work from Scene metrospace while I was there. I had to take my stuff inside splash of color so it wasn't sitting out in the hot sun and as a result I have 2 photos that are spoken for unless someone else offers me more money tomorrow for them. I'm going to be a part of this event here...
Johnny Fletcher and myself will be sharing a tent in the blistering sun with the humidity frowing up our hairs so we can represent our stuff and maybe even make a few sales. Our brokeasses need the money pretty badly right now. So come buy our stuff haha. Or just take a peek at what we have. Any cold gifts are definately welcome and will be greatly appreciated.
Other things I've been doing :
- Working with really well known models that are doing BIG things.
- An album layout for DJMili's new record "when the walls breathe"
- planning, planning, planning
