THE MIKA KING — SUPREME GRAFFITI CANVAS TATTOO
Deluxe Special Edition · US English Edition
Where the raw energy of the street meets the precision of the needle. This book by The Mika King (Michael Spehner Ortiz) represents the ultimate fusion of three artistic worlds: the explosive scale of graffiti, the timeless composition of fine art canvas, and the intricate soul of tattoo culture.

An original introduction and prologue
An extended author biography, from his 1995 beginnings to today
A chronological life timeline of his career
The complete account of his journey through Spanish urban art
50 original aphorisms on graffiti, urban poetry, rap, tattoo art and philosophy
Over 100 original works: graffiti, canvases, tattoo flash sheets and photographs
