He remains passionate about sharing his artwork, that can sometimes take three to four months to complete.
'My favorite thing is the detail. I love the detail,' he says.
'And I love trying to trick people into what they're looking at. I want you to look at it, but not quite get it. I think of artists like Da Vinci and stuff that he would do.'

His work doesn't just offer people a geography lesson, but a history lesson too.
Some of his pieces are tributes to his African Nova Scotian Roots.
'I'm African Nova Scotian. I'm of African heritage. That's something I wanted to do. It's very important for identity,' says Bailey.

Yacht engulfed in flames, sinks off Spanish coast
A yacht sank off the coast of Formentera, Spain, after a fire began in the engine room and engulfed the entire boat on Monday, August 11, local news reported. A high-luxury yacht was engulfed in flames and sank off the Spanish coast Monday. The Da Vinci, a 28-metre yacht, caught fire and sank 12 kilometres off the coast of Formentera, Spain at 6:19 p.m. local time, local media and officials report. Officials said that all seven people on board were rescued in 'good condition.' Ultima Hora, a Balearic Islands-based newspaper, reported that Luis Gascon, a maritime official based in Ibiza, said the fire started inside the ship and burned its way outside. The boat sank after it went up in flames, the newspaper reported. Ultima Hora said there were four passengers, two crew members and the captain on board, reporting that everyone was transferred to a rescue boat without issues. Periódico de Ibiza y Formentera, another news organization based out of the Balearic Islands, reported the fire as having started in the engine room. Spanish maritime authorities dispatched a rescue boat and patrol vessel to respond to the fire. Ultima Hora reported that initially, the fire appeared to be under control, but when the rescue boats began to pull the yacht, the fire escalated before it ultimately sank. According to Boat International, the yacht featured a wet bar, barbecue, and a flybridge. They report the ship as having space for 10 guests, plus an owner's suite. Formentera is part of the Balearic Islands, located in the western Mediterranean. Ibiza Spotlight calls Formentera a blissful 'unspoilt, peaceful paradise.' According to their website, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Madonna and Leonardo DiCaprio have all visited the island.
