Brief Update..

I went to the opening of the Last Rites Gallery show 2 weeks ago..What an amazing show! Its still up and i Highly recommend it..Getting to see some of the art up close and personal was a real treat and im really amped to paint again..

and i just gotta say this to artists out there who may or may not know..
Guy Aitchison is soooo fucking amazing. i got the chance to talk to him today at the Philadelphia tattoo convention about painting and stuff. wow.see for yourself: HERE . There was a lot of live painting by other awesome ones like Cory Kruger, Jon Clue, Alex Grey, etc...a very long day to say the least. I got to photograph the Enigma (all blue tattooed puzzle piece guy) for my project.. hmmm what else..packed my stuff up for the last day at my job of 6 years...Moving onto a much better custom shop in Greenpoint/Williamsburg area..

So just a quickie update..im sooo tired now..more to come..

getting an early start on my dia de los muertos celebration..making a home made authentic altar, and clay catrinas figures...feeling crafty to say the least. its more or less a little break while i enter the home stretch of my big extravaganza project of 2008, ensuring i dont get burnt out when ill need the energy the most..the next few weeks are going to be ultra hectic, between a possible job move, philly tattoo convention, nyc tattoo convention, 3 more paintings to do, 7 graphic designs due, 1 sticker design due, planning a release party..its chock full of commotion and frustration, but utterly rewarding at the same time. party details and long overdue press release coming soon..

another road trip!

this time to philly to talk to a few shop and gallery owners about selling my merch! it worked out pretty well,since i know some people who know some people out there..i may also be doing a guest spot tattooing soon.
also, theres a few philly performers ill be paintings so i was just hanging out with them, ate at giannas vegan spot-sooo yummy btw, and the tried to get a hold of someone i'd really really like to paint..it was a productive day..aah soooo much to do not enough hours in the day..

a must see!

the palace of wonders in DC is awesome..there are many cool artifacts and images..everyone was graciously welcoming, and its a mere 3.5 hour drive..we had ukulele band practice on the drive up,and i got to photograph tyler fyre and his wife thrill kill jill for my newest project, and saw an amazing burlesque show! i cant paint as fast as i'd like to but things are coming along...

Road Trip!

For the first time my artistic adventures have taken me out of the tristate area! im going on a road trip with heather to visit the palace of wonders in washington dc to photograph some awesome performers to paint and check out some shows...
this is a very very busy month, as I have deadlines for my paintings, and a few large scale tattoo appointments to finish and get started on..
ill have lots to post soon, including the official press release of my newest endeavor!

i had a rather eventful weekend...my friend who lost a bet to me had to tattoo himself..so we made a video of it. he just edited it and its pretty funny..

then on sunday, i did a tattoo of Dottie Lux the burlesque clown on Joe's ass! hilarious, but asses are hard as hell to tattoo...

changing it up?

doing a little graphic design based on some of my photography..
