Brian's next tattoo...

I had this one in mind for a week or so, there's a tattoo place that just moved in recently a few stores down and the owner has been in to have several skull themed pieces framed... and there's something to do with roses in the business name.  I did this one in about 6 hours.  Probably a little slow but I did a pencil sketch first, then ink then the color.  So now I'm trying to do artwork specifically tailored to the people who frequent the stripmall.  I remember back when I ran a gallery in an actual mall, that was great.  Thousands of different tastes walking by every day.  Anyway I feel like I'm an artistic fisherman, baiting a hook and casting out right to that specific fish over in those weeds.  So Brian, hope you like it, I want to see it on your shoulder by this weekend.  And Jen, seriously, tell me what you want as specific as you can and I can make it for you.  Something with a faerie?  Some tribal shapes?  I saw the ones on your blog, so if you can, gimme a few more details to cruise on.  By the way, it's almost the weekend!

Ahhh, the future...

I smoked my first transparent joint tonight.  I keep telling myself that there will still be the occasional reason to live that pops up from time to time, and here's one.  Now if they could make these skins glow under a blacklight they'd really have something.  I totally felt like I had been cryogenically frozen and reawoken at some point in the future while smoking this.  Well, maybe it wasn't entirely the wrap.  I guess this fucked up retarded society isn't absolutely completely useless after all.  Woohoo!  Ok so I got some partying out of the way today so maybe I can put some time into my artwork this weekend as I'm on somewhat of a roll.  I'd like to request at least 2 days of solid rain, complete with furious thunder and lightning around the clock.  Yeah.  I can work to that. 

It's almost the weekend!

Well, I'm trying to spend my artistic time doing things I can finish more quickly lately.  Damn, I should have been banging these out back when the movie was hot!  I could have sold them like hotcakes.  I started this one this afternoon around 3.  I wonder if I'll get more than ol' Jack did for his... 10 cents would be a bit on the low side.  Click it for more detail.

So it looks like the Chilean miners are coming up starting late tomorrow.  And everyone up top has their entire future planned, including getting them back to "being themselves" and plans to administer the profits they might be offered for TV, books, movies and appearances.  Lest they squander their new found riches.  It's nauseating to read how these poor guys are going to be treated once they're up.  I hope it doesn't come out as bad as it sounds.  Read this nauseating garbage here

Waitress, I'd like some Deep Throat with a side of Tongue...

Reminds me a little of an ex-girlfriend of mine except hers wouldn't stop moving long enough for a decent picture.  Plus it wasn't quite like this babe, she could paint a house with this thing.  Speaking of babes, check out the optical illusion I added to the left side of the blog, below the blog archive.  Weirdest fucking illusion I've ever seen, seems that if you see her going clockwise you see her with your right brain (aesthetics, emotions, creativity) and if you see her going counter-clockwise you're using your left brain (logic, analytical and accuracy).  You should be able to make her change direction by concentrating... or try looking away just enough so that you can imagine her going the other way and then look back slowly.  In the beginning it took me 15 minutes to get her to change direction but now I can do it in a second or so.  Very cool illusion.  Ok, gonna go make a middle of the night cheeseburger, no salad... come to think of it, I don't think tongue girl up there is the salad type either.  She wants meat and in large quantities.  If ya know what I mean.  Here's something for you salad freaks.  Selah.

Just plain not fair...

In all the time I spent on a bike, in my childhood and the times I was in between cars riding everywhere, never anything like this.  What a world.  This morning my day started with my bedroom DVD player crapping out.  I'm hoping it's just the old disk I was playing, I'll play with it this weekend and hopefully it'll come back.  I hope so, I can't listen to the idiots on the morning show any more and the radio music in the bedroom sucks.  I might have to put some Pink Floyd on the real stereo but that's out in the living room.  Gonna have to make it loud.  However, I have to say that I'd prefer the topless 20 year old.  So I tried at work today to get a better shot of my painting, and I could only get good color if it was in direct sunlight, and then there was considerable glare.  Anyway for anyone who hasn't seen it, it's at the bottom of the last post.  Well, nothing much in the news today so in the spirit of close encounters, here's a pic of a guy who wasted a ton of money on a completely useless telephoto lens.  Enjoy.
