Just wanted to thank everyone for their love and support and update you because alot of you have been asking what i am up to. :)

Ive been in the process of some big life changes and relocation, working on a number of different art and writing projects and continue to take pin-up commissions. However, my main focus has been tattooing lately.

Got alot of newer work to post, which i will likely be doing in the coming weeks. 

Hope youre all having a marvelous spring. 

Thanks again,

“the things a black girl’s gotta do to have some fun”.

i got the idea for this when i saw a young lady i love joke (not so jokingly) about getting a gun so she can wear booty shorts in peace in the hot summers. sadly, i know many of us can identify.

and i thought, geez. the measures women of color have to take just to be able to look and dance however they want, without having their personal space and autonomy violated.
