Taylor Smith in London with Mikey Espinosa

Taylor is a friend of mine and one day, it was miraculously sunny… I say it was a miracle because at the time it was cold and raining EVERY DAY! So we decided to just play around with the camera and have fun with the fish eye lens. Kudos to Taylor for filming and editing, click > HERE < to check out his videos. Music was produced by DJ HUMMER

Mikey Espinosa x Ella December – ‘Take care’ teaser

Ella December will be releasing her third book inspired by the works of music artists, this story will be inspired by the works of Drake. Particularly from the Take Care album. For me the words broken, fragments, incomplete kept shouting out to me. Though the words are pretty much similar to each other, I used it to inspire the style of painting for the story. I’m excited for you to guys to read and enjoy the story and art. It’s going to be the last of the Music inspired series. If you would like to read the previously released stories Nostalgia (inspired by Frank Ocean), Blame game (inspired by Kanye West) … just click HERE … It also features her other series Mimi memoirs! Enjoy!

Ripping up art

I’ll let the viewer decide how they feel about these, I don’t think I can explain this, it really was just a moment I had. I wouldn’t call these official art pieces that I would put in an art exhibition but it’s something I’ve done and would like to share with you :) .

I’m having an extreme Eric Benet / soul R&B month and I think it’s helping me push my emotions and its allowing me to try and express everything. So here’s one song I’m really addicted to right now. Enjoy! 

R.I.P Aaliyah… 11 years today

I don’t have anything against todays music, there are the odd few singers *cough Frank Ocean, Jhene Aiko* and tracks that I do like, but I do find it hard to listen to music today because they all sound the same and I guess because dance music isn’t really to my taste, I usually find myself backtracking to songs of the past. Aaliyah for me was one of those singers that defined the 90′s for me, the 90′s was my childhood and she (along with Destinys Child, TLC, Mariah, Whitney, All 4 One, Boys 2 men… you get where I’m coming from) is what sparked my love for RnB and Hip Hop. Here’s a tribute ink and watercolour painting I did for the late Aaliyah who died on this day 11 years ago…  She not only had great music but I loved her style and just seeing how she grew up from a youth with that cool street, hood swag to a beautiful and sexy woman without needing to reveal too much skin! But for me, it was her hair! I was in love with it, it was so simple and she pulled it off so well! May Aaliyah rest in peace and may her legacy live on!

Some of my favourite songs from Aaliyah

The one I gave my heart to

At your best, you are love (The slow version)

I have so many more from her <3
