Trailer Trash: Color Outside the Lines [Video]

Wednesday, February 15, 2012 by | No Comments | Category: Culture, Entertainment, tattooing, Trailer Trash

The film is the brainchild of one of the world’s most widely recognized black tattoo artists; Miya Bailey. For over 5 years the idea has always been in his head to create a film that not only sheds light on the artform, but also allows the artform to be represented in the right way. There are a lot of stigmas attached to black tattoo artists and their side of the culture; ranging from a lack of creativity to overall poor quality of work. This in turn has lead to artists from other backgrounds and those in the black community choosing to take their business elsewhere in search of quality work. [Directed by Artemus Jenkins]


J is for Junkie [Full Length]

Sunday, May 22, 2011 by | 4 Comments; | Category: Art, Culture, Entertainment, Video

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]

Greedmont by Miya Bailey [Process Art]

Tuesday, May 10, 2011 by | No Comments | Category: Art

We just launched our online store this week, and when it came to our first line of merchandise I figured nothing would be more epic to get a design from international Tattoo Artist and one of my personal mentors, Miya Bailey. I’ve always been a fan of his style of calligraphy and really wanted he would do with the letters from “Greedmont Park”. The Greedmont by Miya Bailey[$22] shirts are available for females now HERE!

“I wanted the letters to flow like weed smoke, I like to watch the smoke dance through the air… So I watched that pattern the smoke made as I read a few articles on Greedmont for inspiration and copied the trail of smoke on paper. I just let the pen move. No thoughts. Just smoke, ink and inspiration.” -Miya Bailey
