Model: Christie Jay Billy happened to be filming the awards. He was told that since he was nominated, he could wear a suit but he said that he’d just bring a jacket. When it was announced that he had won, Billy threw on his jacket and left his camera post to accept his award. As one could imagine, a very dream-like experience, and a great one at that. His hard work, love for the arts, and determination paid off. A great accomplishment—one that brought him recognition—the blossoming of a new filmmaker. His film brought tattooing into the public eye. It was a great triumph for Billy in many ways. InkSpiredMagazine.com 59
