I apologize for not updating in a while, but with Spring officially here, business has been picking up. However during the off- season I kept busy drawing flash and submitting work to various publications of which I've posted here and there. So now, I have to play catch-up. Check it...
In the current issue of Urban Ink Magazine, you'll find both Volume 1 & 2 of 'Black Book - Images from the Urban," in the New and Tattoos section in the front. I'm excited to see my flash published because my man Twig (Inked) told me, when he blessed me with my first tat machine, that I would make a killing in this game with the way I draw. Well, consider this my weapon of mass CONstruction. Thanks for the inspiration, Mr. Sparks.
However, in the write up they replaced 'Urban' with 'Hood.' Now I know it may seem trivial, and although I do appreciate the exposure, I don't want my work to be perceived as substandard or of bootleg status, which is what that term suggests. That's exactly the perception I'm trying to avoid personally and change among talented minority tat artists.
Now, if you didn't get a chance to grab a copy of the latest volume of Black Book - Images From the Urban due to the immediate sell-out of the first run, have no fear for the second run will be here and for sale March 28th. Copies of the first volume will go to print at the beginning of April if you missed the first run. I'll offer a special for both once they're both in my hands.
You can purchase your's thru my Face Book Sky Store (link at upper right margin) which includes a few extras or if you are in the New York area, you can purchase a copy from Vanessa at Unimax Tattoo Supply store @ 269 Canal, Manhattan.
I will be announcing a contest (of some sort) to win a piece from one of the books for $100.
Check the SKY STORE to view more samples of flash.
