My mini-bio on Miki Inagaki:
If anyone should write a bio of Miki, it should be me. Not that I know everything of her, but I can show you the simple steps of her deep life on how she came to where she is today. The little sister that I grew up with, who I always felt the need to protect and care for, is definitely all grown up. As far back as I can remember, while I was banging on keys and singing tunes off key, or running to her (while she rolled her eyes) to read her my newest poetry piece, she was doodling. Always a pencil or crayon in her hands drawing. That’s the first thing I remember when I think of Miki and her childhood. Still a doodler, Miki have taken her talents to a new level. With the help of technology, she formed her work of art into a design, and now everyone’s wearing it on their tee shirts! The previous interview of our dog Chappy is what influenced her designs. Chappy was given several nicknames by us and now it’s paying for her food, who would’ve ever known!? Miki continues to paint, draw and doodle as she thinks of new designs and keeps up with the mass messages from the different people who are interested in the Chappy the Shiba Dog project, along with all her art work posted up at myspace.com/artlover503. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that my dear sister Miki is about to hit worldwide with her talents that she kept hidden for so long, it’s her time to shine!
