lines.moving forward..

...
someone told me thaty with tattooing im going to have to get used to working the needle and drawing lines out sideways and forward so that the needle will push against the walls of the tip propperly...and not "float" causing jagged random linework...the following are practice sketches i worked out with this in mind.. well..most of the time i was drawing it...i kinda got distracted cuz i had to fix the toilet for my grandmother in the process.. ...

The homie Tom wanted to show me what some diving in good visibility was like on caalina... unfortunately we went to the wrong side of the island with no money, no food, no permission to make a fire within city limits.. turns out avalon is a bad place to camp if you want the real bear grilles experience.....yet all in all.. caught my first lobster by hand (i lost it later when i got all excited trying to catch another bigger lobster..)..and a bird pooped on my sleeping bag...

diving...

we had nothing else to do so we decided to go dive at Crystal Cove...

sleep is my enemy...

must try hard no sleep!!!! but i know it can get to the best of us at times...

Just got back from a refreshing visit to the SUCKA FREE CITY with my boy Masa from SFC Yokohama;
San Francisco.. Happened to be in the city for the final exhibition at The Skullz Press...The lab to a true mad man.... BIG BAD MIKE GIANT...
the highlight of the night was the honor of presenting Sharpie Master with a caricature i whipped up at a coffee shop on Haight St. Didn't have any paper so i drew it on a piece of cardboard i found on the historical street of good vibes ... gutter style...



The City is truly inviting to the artist in me.

also ..back home ... checked out the skate park in Venice....regretted not bringing a board so badly...





and back to the drawing board....
