Mike Giant: Rebel 8

When I think about FREEDOM, I always think of tattoo artist, visual artist, and fashion designer, MIKE GIANT...I always blog about Mike because there are a few artist that are REALLY "free" and he is one of them...I have watched his company" Rebel 8" grow over the years..and I was told he only started his company with $400...thats an example of NOT making up excuses...I just wanted to take the time out to say THANK YOU Mike Giant for inspiring me to be a better businessman...and not me afraid to express who I am to the world...you are my all time favorite artist, never stop and cont' blessing the world with your vision...I'm taking notes and oneday I will have that FREEDOM you have...see you there "Rebel 8"

Rebel 8: HAPPY ENDINGS Wallet

Last week I walked into "True" a nice clothing store I visited on Haight Street in Frisco...Samba bought a DOPE Rebel 8 Nu Era fitted hat...they didn't have my size so I was sad about that...but I will order one off the rebel 8 website...but I spotted a few wallets in the glass showcase...and I seen 3 rebel 8 wallets...they were only $26 dollars and all the designs were amazing...most of yall know Mike Giant is my favorite artist of all time...so I pick the "Happy Endings" wallet...watching Mike Giant brand his company and name over the years is very inspiring to me (I heard he started his comopany with only $500)...from his clothing, stickers, wallets, skateboards, and hats....this man is more than an artist but a businessman....he has laid down the blueprint on how all artist can get PAID!

Who keeps me inspired: Damion Bailey & Mike Giant

Many people ask me who & what inspires me...my CHILDREN, wife & mother of course are my #1 inspirations, but its also 2 people that really keep me going...Writer, visual artist, and poet, DAMION BAILEY...he is my brother, we are year & half apart in age (I'm the oldest) I know where he come from and seeing his growth as a man, has changed how I see life in MANY ways...almost 9 years ago, Damion released his first published book titled "OFTEN THOUGHTS" this book changed my life...his words inspired images I wanted to keep in my past, but the words made me face all my fears like a man...subjects ranging from love to the street life, this book of poetry moved my soul...I'm not even a big fan of spoken word & poetry because I feel a lot of poets just use poetry to get pussy (just being honest) but me knowing Damion personally I FELT every word he wrote...he is the main reason I'm releasing a book also...thank you Dada (his nickname) for inspiring me lil' bruh...you are a perfect example of a family man..and I hope to be just as good as you oneday..you know i'm the rebel bad seed of the family..lol

The second person is visual artist, Mike Giant...from street graffiti writer, to tattoo artist, to fine art, books and clothing line (Rebel8.com)...I have watched this man, brand is name and products to the point where he don't HAVE to tattoo anymore unless he's in the mood to tattoo...thats the freedomm that I dream to have oneday...right now I'm at a point of my life where I HAVE to tattoo to feed my family and pay the bills...my goal (just like Mike Giant) is to brand my name, focus on books, films, clothing line, tattoo supplies, and other products, and only tattoo my loyal following, friends, family, and when I'm in the mood and inspired to do new styles of tattooing...Mike Giant is a open public weed smoker, like me so I respect his views on legalizing this plant...I feel weed will help out the recession using weed as a crop to bring in money for the people who grow it...

Thursday night my brother, brought me a copy of his NEW book..I havent had the free time to read it yet..but when I do I will post a review of the book for yall....he is selling his new book online, you can check my brother out on http://www.facebook.com/damionlbailey & http://twitter.com/damionbailey

VIMBY - Mike Giant

One of my favorites MIKE GIANT

Sorry I been away, it's been a really busy these past weeks. I'm booked until Dec. with appointments so I been on my grind. Reading alot of books, doing alot of drawing, and I've been dreaming about painting again. I was doing a google search on one of my favorite artist tonight and found a dope ass interview with the legend himself, cool ass MIKE GIANT.This artist inspires me in many ways. Coming from a graffiti backgound, then to tattooing and now owner and designer for one of the nicest clothing lines out REBEL 8 (on my Top friends on myspace).I hope this interview inspires you like it has me. Many Blessings, Miya Bailey
