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.

Eric Maaske and Classic Tattoo Fullerton

Eric Maaske, if you tattoo and you don't know who he is I probably wouldn't like you. Classic Tattoo is like stepping into a time machine. I worked there after Eric Maaske died which is something I appreciate but I sure wish I could have worked for that dude and seen how he tattooed. If you've ever seen a old Eric tattoo on somebody, it's a trip. Dope color and style that stands the test of time. This is a homage to one of his flash designs.


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.


More Single Needle madness

RKL logo, this band rules and I did this tattoo at Orange County Inkhouse while under the influence of umm booze and whatever was lying around, honestly this tattoo required such conditions.
 Bert, on a guy named Bert that works at Inkhouse. Inkhouse is a shop where a lot of my friends work. It's hard to describe I'll just say it's by far the most punk rock tattoo shop ever.
 The fall of Lucifer.. This is a Dore illustration. The word "illustration" bothers me because it's usually fancy talk for really good technical art that no one can touch.. Yet painting a red rectangle on a canvas is "art" so lame. Anyways, worship satan and do drugs.

All things Chicago

This was mailed to a tattooer in Chicago named Josh Howard. I mostly trade painting with random tattooers on facebook if they don't suck and they don't think I suck. I look forward to watching my collection grow over the years.

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.

Barfing Punker skull

Punk Rock, I saw DxIx when I was 14 and that was it. Since then I've collected punk flyers, records and   whatever else on and off over the years. Slime and mohawks will be something I paint forever no matter how watered down they are currently. It's just stuck in my brain and I can't get it out.

Monsters I done drawn up and tattooed

"Finks"
more or less artwork inspired by Ed Roth. Personally my biggest influences are Eddie Deutsch, and Greg Irons. This is all I want to tattoo everything else is just killing time between monsters.




snake eating skulls

This here painting is a snake eating skulls. I'm just starting a blog here and beginning to understand the reason people use these, on facebook this picture looks like shit. You go to hell and you die facebook.

oldies but goodies

These are a couple years old now, I dunno 2007 or something.. I still kinda like them even though I think   there's a lot of things I would do differently now.. Thats everything I suppose
