  • In the Company of Wolves

    I have been trying my damnedest to keep most of my newer my artwork secret lately, that way whenever I come out with my sketchbook for publication, all my followers on Tumblr, Facebook or whatever haven’t already seen or tattooed everything in the book. However, I scanned in the first real piece of flash for…

  • Gallery: Just Another DC Day

    I made the decision that I was going to spend all day at the Smithsonian Museums in DC today at 6AM this morning after a long night heavy drinking, smoking and drawing. Who say’s you have to sleep everyday? I wasn’t tired, and I sure as hell wasn’t abiding by any rules regarding my sleep…

  • New Start

    Since I am no longer working at X2 Ink and tattooing by appointment only, I have had a lot more time than usual to work on my artwork and the things I would like to do. This is a product of such free time, but trust me, this is only a dent in what I…

  • Who says nothing is free anymore?

    One of my favorite rapper’s Immortal Technique recently released his newest CD “The Martyr” absolutely free to download or stream on his website. Technique is an amazing artist with an amazing message and so far what I have heard from this album is nothing but pure gold. Plus it’s free, so what do you have…

  • Gypsy girl sketch

    I have spent the past seven hours laying sprawled out on my studio floor watching the second season of The Wire and working on some drawings for this sketchbook I am having published. I did a lot of sketches from midnight til now, but this is one of the only ones I really liked and…

  • PMA

    At the end of another slow dragged-out day at the shop I decided that I was going to do a tattoo on myself that I had been meaning to get for awhile: the “PMA” tattoo. PMA, or Positive Mental Attitude, is a term which describes a state of mind in which the main concept is…

  • Who’s pencil is this?

    This pencil mysteriously found it’s way into my collection awhile back, I’m not sure exactly when, but it seems I’ve had it for a long time now. Its nothing fancy, an old Venus sketch pencil, but what I really want to know is who is Trudy J. and why was it so important for her…
