pinup art is timeless, with me being a muralist as well as a photographer pin-up art sits high on my list of favorites.   Krystal came thru with a bomb-ass idea and the proofs in the ink

Sunday Jams

this week we get back to my favorite kinda music, old school funk/ soul.  short and simple  the "God Father of Soul" was an innovator, rule breaker, trend setter, barrier breaker...... a true legend who wrote the blueprint of music

James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006) 

        i dont watch much tv but this was def 1 of the coolest music moments i ever seen a few yrs back

cash rules

                                             
                         nowadays i rarely ever get to do tattoo flash on customers but this was a fun piece to do (shout out to the homie boog)                this is part of the legg sleeve i did on the homie "Red"

keepn the beat

before my art took off i was very heavy into music and drumming was my concentration.  ive always wanted to mural or pinstripe my personal drumset but never did for obvious reasons,,, most important it took like 10yrs of me drumming on a mixed match multi name brand jus plain ugly set lol for my parents to finally buy me the set i wanted back wen i was like 15, so needless to say for the past 14 more yrs ive been hesitant to paint my nice set..... smh   

ok truth is ive had this drum for a long time now lol. after hearing me talk bout how i always wanted to paint mine, my homie/ customer "lil b" brought his drum to me bac in nov i think and said "jus do wutever".  even with all ive been having on my plate & even though "B" prob thought i forgot his drum or pawned it lol,,,,,,,, ive been slowly wrkn on this piece. well "b" its finally done 

and now the kandy

THROWBACK JAM

X

                              Did this Malcolm X portrait about a year ago on my homie  "Twin"

makin waves

Heres a look back at 1 of my fav full- backpieces ive ever done. Back in 2009 when Amanda 1st approached me with the idea of this piece i had no idea or expectation of it ending up the way it did as far as size and depth. Honestly i sent her home to think about it more because she wasnt sure on how exactly she wanted it, and i wasnt sure if she was gonna be able to handle that amount of ink because all she had was a panda bear tattoo that was the size of a quarter.  kool thing is she didnt take me the wrong way nor did i detour her from getting the ink she had sought me out to do. I really think she came back the next day or so and there we began. The timing on this piece was between the months of march and october & we would work on it 3-5hrs at a time.  Its funny how things bring people together, before the art Amanda and I had several mutual friends, now amanda & her son christian are like family around the shop now, we"ve been to tattoo conventions with her art, all the way down to carshows, photoshoots & kids bday parties together lol.  Although shes side lined with maturnity and has been out the tattoo chair for over 2yrs now, she still manages to pass thru the shop and cut up with us like only my customers can lmfao!!!! hope u enjoy the pics
