Georgia was a blast...

I went to Gainesville, Georgia last week to visit family and do a few family tattoos.
The flights were short and easy. Met a neat lady by the name of Sharon, on my second flight. We had a 3 hour discussion about life, religion, beliefs and things of that nature. Hope here journey back to the ATL was a successful one. Once I landed I was scooped up by Jeff and we were off to a 3 story family filled house.

This is where we stayed... a family friend was kind enough to let us stay here for the duration of my visit.

Opened my tattoo travel case to find this...

Had to stop and get a pic of this monkey eating my cousin Mark...

My Auntie Diane is an incredible human being.

She laughs and smile a ton...

Tattooed my cousin Charlie and his wife Amanda the second night I was there... I need to get a better pic of Charlie's tattoo but here is a descent shot of Amanda's cover up tattoo.

This machine and I hung out most of the trip...

Hmmmm to have tea or coffee...

My cousin Mark isn't old enough for a tattoo,

but he is for some pen work

Another shot of the house and yours truely...

My cousin Mike is a rad guy. He's a hard workin dude with a heavy Southern accent...

We found a golf cart in the garage and decided to take it out for a spin

We came across this $1,079,000 view in our golf cart excursion...

The lake we stayed near was beautiful...

They must have a blast out here in the summer time

A small view of the kitchen area...

this house was huge... even had an elevator. So fresh...

Later on my last night plans changed and I had my cousin tattoo a ninja on a skateboard.

You have to know us or ask us the story behind it... I cleaned up and slightly added to his arm in the picture.

It was an incredible trip. Seema bit too short. Can't wait to get out to GA for our family reunion later this year. No tat blastin'. Just fun and visits. Thanks for checkin this out. Journeys are a must whether from within, in the states or out of the country.

Stay Up!!!

A Whole Lotta Blogging....

I've been working a lot lately. Feels good to be constantly creating and moving forward.
Been focusing on pushing myself, artistically and spiritually, in a much needed positive direction. Much breathing and practicing of relentless patience.


I finished a painting entitled "V" for some signed and numbered 11x17 prints. Thank you to Greg over at Steadfastprinting.com. You Rule!!! Also, been tattooing a bunch. Enjoy the pics below. In progress and finished pieces for your visual enjoyment.

Almost done with Tina's sleeve...

 Sam sits like a champ through mad rib shots!!!

 Shirt/Promo design sketch (above)

 Fun Picasso tattoo on Jason. I love this dude.

 Started this Greatful Dead half sleeve on Mike... can't wait to fit all the people around it.

 Finished my homie Pat's 1/2 sleeve... great guy and friend. Insanely Inspiring!!!

And I finally finished this big rib jammer on one of the people I love and respect more than life itself. I learned many things from this tattoo... Until next time. Stay Up!!!

A rush of blood to the head...

 I was fortunate enough to have a couple pieces in the Shimmer & Rot art show at the Rothick Art Haus in Anaheim last month. Big Toe(below) was the main attraction.

 My pieces are the two smaller ones on the sides.

 Started and finished this piece a week or so ago. Prints?.... yes

 I went to SF a couple weeks back to drop off some artwork and visit some friends. I only went for the day/night. Went to Skull & Sword and Everlasting tattoo.

Had a mushroom burger from a place called B3 on Valencia near 23rd. Had a beer at Tornado bar.

 Went to Mike G's Skullz press and hung with Mike, Derick and a few other friends.

Mike n I hit a great breakfast spot before I jumped on the Bart and headed back home.

And below are some small tattoos from the last couple weeks.

I love doing fun tattoos. They make me laugh.

 Amazed that this cocoon is healthy and hangin in our backyard. Its freezing and far away from the butterfly plants... what the heck... pretty rad though.

Finished last night off with  this Snow Ball roll at Kamikaze Sushi in Seal Beach. They are amazing and my wife n I have our very own chopsticks there. Check em out.

Salud...
