I met Tyrez in the early 2000's when his mother Tia became my hair stylist for the many braided hair styles you've seen me wear . The "Sit in my chair" relationship went beyond that as each member of the family became a part of my life in some significant way. Tyrez and I connected. He was creative and I was creative. Many times "Rez" became my mentor giving me encouragement and even shared ideas that would really open my eyes that there was more in me to do than I was already doing as an Airbrush Artist. He was more than willing to go out on a cool day and model a couple of pieces of my airbrush work for a photo shoot. The pink panther airbrush design on a black tee was his favorite. Tyrez made his mark in the earth and his impact will never be forgotten. ~Erica B
