This is a three legged lucky money toad for my good friend Damon.  I grew up with the guy and now get the privilege to tattoo him and his family and exchange some crazy stories..enjoy!

In the end it all comes together. ..  After much sketching and the unwavering patience from Rudy, in his own words, “it all comes together”.  Final goal on this project is to match his other side with a half sleeve and chest panel and then unifying them both with a backpiece.  Looking forward to the future…..

Not a big fan of posting unhealed work, but sometimes you want to show pieces you enjoyed doing.  Much thanks to Erica for sitting through it and contributing to the process.  Hope you enjoy!

Was very fortunate to finally do this tattoo also known as the “Borneo Rose”,  first of my career.  Good timing for me and my client .

This is piece is currently being continued to the inside of our friend’s Steve arm with a Virgin Mary.  Peace to all!

So the album is finally out!!  And I am proud of to have the friendship of such talented people.  At the beginning of my career these guys were there and we constantly pushed each other to think and do differently in our respective fields.  Well now they have refined their sound and project an energy you have to experience.  The album is FUTURE KING and you can buy it on iTUNES.  Also check their site for upcoming shows @ HENHEART.

Really liked the way this piece photographed, this one is still in the process…. Peace to all!

So here is a portion I did (my italian greyhound “Leu”) on a mural with my fellow scientists in U.L.Z..  The mural was one of the best collaborations I have ever been included in.  It was directed by Chris Brand, and Evan Skrederstu with a total of 7 participating artist  in a span of a month with the theme being the L.A river.  My pictures of the completed piece do it no justice but will post them as soon as I get better ones.  I want thank Chris and Evan and will miss working with them in my studio but look forward to future experiments!

This sleeve spans 3 years and still in need of a few sessions to call it complete.  But it was great to get this picture and see it all come together seamless.  The owner of this sleeve is Martin and his enthusiasm definitely fueled the many sessions and kept the momentum going.  Keep posted for the conclusion.  As always safe journey and peace!

Don’t know how long I have been wanting to do a monkey skull for.  This one went to the shop comrade Kyle.  It is a monkey skull adorned with silver and gold and is known as a Tibetan kapala which translates to skull, or skull cup and used in tantric practices.  At this point Kyle has a human and a monkey kapala which will make up portion of a leg sleeve which will be themed after the MÜTTER museum and relics from around the world..  Hope you enjoy the work and the journey, peace to all…
