Hey guys Michael Jackoson would want you to know tickets are now on sale for the This Is It movie starring Michael Jackson himself!
This Is It will have a global premmiere in 25 cities across the world but it only runs for a limited 2 week run. The movie shows Michael Jackson preparing and rehearsing for the incredible This Is It concerts he never got to give London and the world. This Is It shows the magician, showman and extrodonary genius that was Michael Joe Jackson.
To get tickets go to the This Is It webist at http* :// www .thisisit-movie. com/ (without the spaces and *) or just ask at your local movie theatre See you there!
Just wondering if anyone wanted to have some art done; I'm in dire need of the work so feel free to check out my albums and pass the word. Also doing trades, and willing to travel a bit if necessary...Preferably for tattoo parties if that's a concept. I also do traditional art, photo-retouching and fixing, graphic design, freelance research and writing, (I'm sort of a Jack-of-All-Trades), portraitures, etc...
SPREAD THE WORD!
Also, check out some of my original music here on my profile playlist if you haven't already and let me know what you think.
By the way…We are planning a move to Charleston so let me know if anyone knows of a studio space in the town applicable to tattooing privately (I prefer Japanese style, custom, personal settings over the average tattoo shop effect anyway. Must be clean and comfortable)
Still offering exceptional deals on tattoos! I may also be up for trade or travel. Pass the word and give me a call with any ideas you may have. Check out my new pics and songs if you haven't already.
Hello Nnedi. I am about to graduate and I plan on finishing my children's book after graduation. I am not only working on my illustartions but also on the writing part. Not only is English not my first language but I have never written anything, so I am writing to ask you what you would suggest? Should I join a writing group? Should I just for it and have an editor take a look? Thank you for your time.
