Miya Bailey

I’ve been following this man for YEARS!  Found him on myspace about 5 or 6 years ago.  I’ve been wishing, dreaming and hoping to one day get his art on my body.  It will happen, as does everything I want to happen in this world. hah!

He’s been tattooing for a while now, and what really caught my eye (other than his breathtaking artwork!) was the colour he uses on dark skin.

I’ve walked into parlours that have told me that colour doesn’t show up on dark skin and I felt it was bullshit laziness at the time, after seeing his work, he AFFIRMED that it was bullshit laziness.

I love that he has a signature style.  It’s so haunting, animated and bold.  And to top it off, he’s also working on a documentary about tattoo artists of colour called Color Outside The Lines.

Make A Panther Purr: AMALIA
Posted on November 19th, 2011 by sbt

Let’s just call this post, Funk Of Fresh Air.

I’d like to introduce you to the future of funk…in MY humble opinion.  She is not just the future, she’s the present and the past.  I just love how FREE this woman is with her expression…she’s fearless. Riding the beat, driving it as well.  This track makes me think Cameo-meets-Grace Jones-meets-Betty Davis, all of the above dirty.

What MOST excites me about AMALIA is she’s a fellow Canadian!! YES!  Originally from Vancouver, but she’s been residing in Sweden for the last little while.  In the new year, Amalia and I will be sitting down for a little chat, look out for it.

In the meantime, buy her album and get acquainted.

peace, love & butterflies,
