J is for Junkie [Full Length]

Greedmont TV presents a documentary by Corey Davis on a group crack addicts in Atlanta who live outside in a small cove behind a Texaco, infamously dubbed as the “Living Room.” They share their stories and tell us what it’s like to battle with a deadly addiction to crack-cocaine. “Growing up I never had a father, because he was out running the streets getting high… Right around the time I was born, the mid 80′s, African-American communities across the country was struck by the crack epidemic. Which robbed us our prideful culture and instantly perverted it into a counter-culture where playgrounds became warzones and families were destroyed.” [Directed by Corey Davis]

Phoenix Tattoo (last night)

This is a piece I did lastnight... She wanted a Phoenix... I wanted it to follow the natural curves of the body....most black & grey with a slight touch of color in the flames and lotus hidden behind the bird...she took it very well... Thought she was sleep most of the time... She was relaxed and in a zone... It was a nice peaceful session... I'm thankful
