progress.

I've been organizing my apt like a mad man over the past couple days. i bought tons of needed items and i still have many to go. i need more frames for the tons of prints and paintings i have. i also need to buy some book shelves and wall hanging shelves for all the ransom stuff and books.

i've had more opportunities to do fun tattoos lately, i will post them once they have been uploaded. i also finally have a place in my apt to work on paintings and artwork which is a huge relief.


back to planet earth...

my word is my bond.

blue planet

I've recently been buying a lot of discovery channel dvds. planet earth, blue planet. ect. It has really rekindled my love of the ocean, and oceananic life. My good friend DJ, is actually going to give me a decent sized aquarium and help me get it going as a salt water tank. my first ever. hopefully towards the beginning of next winter we are going to take a trip to some island locations, and check out some snorkeling and scuba stuff.

I've been trying to read more. its been difficult to find a book, not tattoo or art related that keeps my interest. But the effort is there.

I'm looking forward to spring and to warmer weather. not hot. just warm again. day spots, bikes, road trips. get into it.

CC cinnamin werewolf little bear.


we lost our puppy cc, on friday night. she was the best little monster ever. she was so tough and rowdy for a little dog and will never be replaced. its hard to believe she is gone. She will always be in my heart.

its a tiger shark.

I've been back in my hermit mode. Which I dont really mind all that much.
being back in my hermit mode, means that i generally watch a ton of movies and eat terribly. which is basically what has been going on.

I recently watched the Labyrinth again for like the 60 billionth time, i love that movie. its so great to see how creative people were and how much time and effort they put into every single detail.

i watched jaws last night as well as the making of documentary. again, the attention to details and the creative spark in that movie is so great. to see people accomplish something that people said could not be done, and see how passionate they were about what they were doing, makes me enjoy watching it even more.


The shop has been busier again, which is a very welcome thing.hopefully this trend continues. Isaac is going to be coming out here for about a week, I'm super stoked to get to watch him tattoo and hopefully work on some paintings with him.

I start my appointments with Mike Rubendall in 2 weeks! A year of waiting and getting my arm lasered is finally going to be worth it! I'm also getting my back worked on some more, and hopefully we will be able to get quite a lot done. I'm a pretty big baby when it comes to getting my back tattooed, but fuck it. its worth it in the end.

I've been trying to stay more motivated with my personal artwork. i have alot of drawing that i have to get done for customers coming up. so trying to find time to paint is definitely a little stressed lately. but i did manage to finish one recently. its a collaboration piece that taylor and i did for jordan meceli's dad's benefit.




i gotta upload some more tattoos and update that soon. but.. lazy.
