wizard battle

I did this with JOSH HOWARD as a collaboration. I think his art and tattoos are fucking awesome. You should too. ALAKAZAM BITCHES

Shop designs..

Fucking Jesus, forgot I had this blog, I use a tumblr now as well.. Here's a few things I haven't posted...  Shop designs.. blah blah, fuck my life, I hate you.

No World for Nice Guys

Painted this drunk yesterday. Pretty much was told by a girl I wanted to have sex with that I'm a nice guy  and she didn't want me to think she's a whore. No sex for me. I have no idea what exactly about me is nice, I imagine most dudes secretly just punch girls in the stomach behind closed doors to turn them on and I'm the only dude that hasn't figured it out yet.

Fully nude punk rock chick post apocalyptic woody woodpecker fink moster extravaganza

Been messing around a lot lately with comic book influenced art, blocked in colors with minimal fades and such. This is basically just a lot of crap I like mashed into a little 12x16 sheet. Enjoy!

"Red Haired little brown girl of wonders" and "Surf Fink in Quasimodo pose"

I paint a lot of women, usually I base them off real ones that bummed me out or girls out of vintage skin mag collections. Which is probably pretty sad if you analyze it, or I just like boobs and I'm a pervert, which is also sad.

This was supposed to be a tattoo on Sean Rennel's foot, he is Co Owner of Inkhouse in Irvine. I left the shop before I had a chance to tattoo it so I just painted it for him instead. Surf Fink is a Roth monster, he's one of my favorites because of that bizarre tube tongue so I paint him pretty frequently. I myself can't surf, but I do have that body. The "BWF" is Beowulf's old logo. Beowulf is a killer thrash band from Venice that was really cool before they made a pop punk album and ruined everything.

Jack Rudy and Mike Malone redux

This is a rip of a Jack Rudy flash design, going through old flash you always find some random image that trips you out for some reason. 

 Rollo Banks aka Mike Malone, this was my take on another early 80's fineline flash image. These are always redrawn entirely and never direct copies so much as just tributes the best I can do them.

Traditional tattoos and painting, a hard nut to crack

Traditional is one of those styles that everyone has an idea how they think it should look and there's a lot of different ways you can approach it, but ultimately less is more. To this day I have yet to be really satisfied with anything traditional I have done. I mostly just try to bite Mike Malone.

T-Shirts I designed for the shop

The boobie girl is a rip off of a Sailor Jerry woman and the Oni is, well it's just a fucking Oni cause Oni's are fucking cool. Fucking come down and buy a shirt at POWER TATTOO in Vista CA.

Snake Virgin with Devil Baby and Tech 9

This started off looking like a virgin Mary with a baby and just kinda road off the rails into weirdness.. Now people refer to it as "that boobs and baby painting." Another painting gone weird because of decisions made during sleep deprivation.

CONAN SKULL

Conan the Barbarian (original, none of that Dave Navarro looking homosexual remake nonsense) is a awesome movie. Frank Frazetta is a huge influence on me. If you really want to nerd out I even own the original paperback books with Frazetta covers. This was painted for my boss Chris who is probably going to kill me someday for being a pile. I figure it bought me a few months to live. Anyways, I started this painting when the movie started and stopped when the credits started rolling. It's a sloppy barbarian influenced piece of rag.

Single Needle Tattoos

Single Needle is my favorite way to tattoo. It can look gangster or it can look punk rock. If you fuck up it's obvious you did. It looks good over time. You can do anything with this particular technique. I don't know if I lump into any particular group but I definitely tattoo like this more often than not.
