UNTAPPED TALENT: BaileyBrothaz Transform Setback into a Thriving Business

Artists and identical twin brothers, Carl and Craig Bailey aka BaileyBrothaz are in our opinion, some of the hottest illustrators coming out of Los Angeles. So, it only makes sense to kick off our new, Untapped Talent series with the dope duo!The brothers didn't have much growing up. But, that would prove to be a blessing in disguise, as they had an abundance of pencils and paper in their home. So, while other kids were playing with toys they would be sketching away instead, honing their skill and feeding their imagination with films, games and comic books.To fully immerse themselves in their passion, the brothers took art in college, plus taught themselves about anatomy and different styles of art, which clearly shows through in their artwork. Watching a lot of japanese manga had an effect on  their artwork style as well.Soon after, they were open for business, producing a graphic novel about gangs in Los Angeles, called "BloodznCripz." From then on, thanks to word of mouth and a lifetime of hustle, BaileyBrothaz has managed to make a living for the duo, through freelance and commission work.Peep some of their work below and be sure to show love @baileybrothaz!
