Run DMC

For those of you who dont know, my cousin Brian is on a TV show called Daddy's Girls with the Simmons sisters. Those of you who dont know who they are, they are the daughters of Rev. Run, of the pioneering Hip Hop group Run DMC. Now back to my point, last summer i was talking to Vanessa about the painting I had done for her sister. She told me that I should do big painting of Run DMC for her dad. I finally did one over xmas break 2009. I wasnt too happy with the way it came out so Im in the process of doing another one. When its done, im going to drive it to LA and personally deliver to the sisters to be sent to their dad as a gift. I cant wait to hear what he thinks about it...shit maybe id even get on the show for an episode!!!


Angela Simmons

I did a personal piece for Angela Simmons last summer. She had no idea I was doing it, so when she saw it she flipped...absolutley loved it. Heres the before and after....





Veritas Aquitas



And shepard's we shall be. For thee, my lord, for thee.

Personal Piece

Ive only done 4 Personal Piece's so far but there are going to be plenty more. My idea is to eventually have 20 to 30 done. There will only be 2 made of each piece, and each person will be somebody that I personally know, hence the name Personal Piece. When these are done I will put on an art show and invite every person that I had the honor to make a custom piece for. 

Enough of that....here is the newest one. I hope you like it...she did.

Effen Aye Man...

My crazy godfather Lenny is always bringing random shit over to my parents house. Last week he brought a bottle of Vodka for band practice (he's in a band with my dad). The vodka is called Effen Vodka. It was pretty effen good.



Ps...I love Toys R us

The Creek

Growing up as a kid, we spent our summers at our cabin in the Russian River area. Countless hours were spent in this creek. We rode our bikes though it, had water fights, played with our tractor trucks, it was endless. But every year it was dry, we prayed on the way up that there would be water running through it. When there was, we had races with sticks and little paper make-shift boats, it was so damn fun. I went up there this past weekend to show my girlfriend, who had not been there yet, and there was water!!! It brought back so many memories as a kid, so I took a couple shots of it. Enjoy.

Hes not dead.

This Tupac came out so damn good. The customer was so happy with it. Now that I think about it, I havent even done another one for MY wall.




Its been a while since Ive posted some new artwork up here. Im an awesome procrastinator. Heres a pair of shoes I did as an Xmas gift for a ladys daughter.

Im super stoked on this pair, they came out great and the girl loves them!

Tattooed Chesty

I finally did it. I grew a big enough set of testicles to get my chest tattooed. It wasnt too bad considering Jared, a few super cool people I met, and myself killed a bottle of Jameson. Heres a few of the pictures I had on my phone. Theres more to come...

We killed a fresh bottle of Jameson that night. Aint no better feeling than getting a big ass tattoo while liquored up...hahahah!!!

I was passing out shots to everyone in the shop, and made friends with some pretty rad people.


Yeah it hurt a bit. The sternum had me gasping for air!


Half in the bag with a tattooed chesty. word.
