Hello everyone. My name is Mia Taninaka and I live on the tropical paradise island of Bali - land of the gods. Life is good here, rice is plentiful, fruit is juicy and I can paint and dance all day long.

Im here to take you from Blakes glorious depths of rot and ruin to my very own happy place in the clouds. Let’s go on a magical journey, atleast for just one month, and I’ll tell you some things about what makes me fly.

I’ll kick it off with some Don Juan shamanic wisdom (I thought this was a good Blake/Mia explanation) and this self-portrait of me in the morning.

“The aim is to balance the terror of being alive with the wonder of being alive..and there I travel looking, looking breathlessly.” Don Juan

see you tomorrow, I’m going to eat some breakfast
