It will be worth your while to....
Thats outrageous
You cant believe the trash talking that goes around, and yes a lot of artists are always bagging on others.. You will find a respectable artist if you look long enough, its all about getting in with the right people. I had the pleasure of training under Roni Zulu and have been very close to him for over 12 years now.
It was OK my son was pretty much raised in my shop, and I think he learned how not to judge people, and my clients adored him, but the hours are grueling.. I often found myself working to the wee hours of the morning on a pretty regular basis
anytime!! I wish you the best and if you have anymore questions please email me, maybe I could steeer you in the right direction
