always terrible photos

erik darvish's cacti patch. 2 more cacti and mad crystals and flowers you cant see. it takes up his whole lower leg... oh well. done 5 or 6 months ago.

finally got photos of tiffanys healed tattoo i did in new york! you can zoom in on it to see all the detail.. it was fun to make up hieroglyphics and incorporate my own gathered mythical symbolism with the ancient imagery of Egyptian goddess Isis for this rad girl i had just met...  ... got to her house at 11pm... drew and hand traced it till 5:30ish(?) am and tattooed from 7am-11am... by the end we were both delirious and confused...  tattooing on the road is loco but rewarding.

feed the beast

drew the back cover of dear colin's amazing NYC pizza review zine Slice Harvester today! he's a prodigious writer/pizza consumer/friend. check out the next issue... if you want.

also this is my mad old twin towers tribute tattoo. it doesn't seem to look so gross in person.. 30 tattoos later it still remains my favorite... thanks carolina! i shall never forget.

skate or cry trying

sorry for the terrible picture... boards finally came in! eric with the ying-yang board we drew together for 222 collective based out of Tennessee for whom eric does most of the art for. they did such a good job printing all that detail... unapparent in this photo. we each did the background of each others dudes, swapped headbands and ying yang'd down to the eye.

heavy...

been really busy with tattooing, doing commission work and driving people around in my brand new... or... 50 year old "whip" (digging the beast its grave!)  lately but i have so many new drawings to share with you fine creeps! maybe i'd rather leak 'em slower than molasses.. or is it my lack of digital suaveness/personal willpower.. too busy dwelling in the innocence of pretending to be too preoccupied to indulge in self evaluation.

my hero

also j poop (aka john root)'s new tattoo:

very proud of the free-hand prepubescent 'stache i convinced poop to let me add a last minuet...

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: whats with this tumblr bullllllshiiiiiit? all these fools re posting peoples art and NOT giving credit... my mind is blown.. extending/exposing your identity to the digital age seems to lead one to a stagnate cesspool- only to find yourself drained dry by ravaging leeches. i am happy to experiment with seeing if people connect to my art... and i realise now how much i need more support in order to not be the brokest fool around... but i don't want to see it thrown about or to appear in some vomit worthy dude zine i did not agree to contribute to... ask, y'all... im mostly pretty chill. in these trying times one must be thoroughly WARNED: the internet will suck dry your youthful soul and spit you out a sagging withered sack. go play outside and stop living vicariously through other peoples photos... for the love of everything forgotten to be holy we must try and remember what it real. myself included. with that said- i just deleted a 3 paragraph rant i accidentally wrote about michael jacksons body being shot into the moon, lunar runes and j.f.k... but this ain't no diary and i don't want to freak too hard on this thing... i really appreciate you looking at this waste of digital space and i sincerely apologize for this regurgitated post-teen angst. i have gone blind with the rage of my ancestral guilt...
without the dull throbbing of existence
the stimulation of our corpse will become meaningless in practice
and void of spirit.
