My buddy "Greenfield" Mike is the frontman for the deathcore band Enemy Mind. We used to paint graffiti together when I lived back east. When he started Enemy Mind, he asked me to design a logo, which I was happy to do. The band has gotten very popular very fast, and if your on the east coast, check out their myspace page for their next show. Here are some logos I've done for them...
I've been sick as a dog for the past few days, and haven't produced any artwork to post, so here are some photos from my recent journeys. The pic above is of the truly awesome ceiling murals that are inside the Venetian Casino in Las Vegas. The amount of work and craftsmanship that went into creating the massive murals is stunning, and worth a trip to Vegas for the art alone. 
Brian Papa and I came across this tree with all sorts of bikes hanging from it while we were in Florida
...and we visited the famous South of the Border truck stop while we were in South Carolina. This giant sign stands about 12 stories tall.
I snapped this photo while driving through Tennessee late one night. I was pulling up to a Wendy's drive-thru window, and found about ten cats in the parking lot begging for hamburgers. I took this photo with my cell phone because I knew nobody would believe me if I told them what I had seen! The funny thing is that most people think that the photo is fake!
...and while at the SEMA Custom Car Show in Vegas, I saw this car that was completely covered in diamonds. It's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
My friend TJ is all about hot rods, custom cars, and tricked out rides. A little while ago, he had a replica of the Munster's Dragula built to add to his collection. The famous coffin bodied dragster from the old television show "The Munsters" was fully functioning, and when it arrived at TJ's house, he actually took it out on the interstate to see what it could do! He then wanted me to paint a show sign for it for when he took it to car shows. I painted the sign with "The Munsters" logo, flames, and an airbrushed portrait of the dragster!
I painted this bike a few years ago for Infamous Choppers. It's got all the bells and whistles: root beer candy marblizer, blue metallic beveled tribal, grape granite, and varigated leaf striping. I love the way this bike turned out, especially the colors. This is a great example of what can be achieved when the owner doesn't put limitations on my creativity, and lets me go wild!
Here's one more photo from Sunday's Lowrider Show. I really liked this bike, and although I couldn't find a signature, the style and quality of the silver leaf leads me to believe that it was done by Mike Lamberson.
Lately I've been really into doing silver and gold leaf, and seeing this bike has gotten me even more anxious to do more!
This is my friend Eddie, and today I pinstriped his rat rod suburban. He just had it painted completely flat black, including all but the front windows, and thought it needed some old school pinstriping...
...this is the traditional striping piece I painted on the front...
...and this is on the rear window...
...also, I tattooed this Old E lettering at Fastlane...
...and this cartoon skull wrapped in bandages on this girls hip. She drew the skull herself, and plans on drawing another one to match on the other side. She is going to be a writer for Fangora magazine, and we had a great conversation about horror movies while I inked her
This weekend was the PHNX Lowrider show. There was plenty of metal flake, candy, gold and silver leaf, pinstriping, and airbrushed murals. I really enjoy going to this show, and I get lots of inspiration from all the tricked out paint jobs...
...this car had an abundance of gold leaf and striping...
...all of the car clubs were representing in force. I really liked this blinged out Rollerz Only...
...the Scarface Impala was there again this year. I never get tired of seeing this rolling masterpiece...
...this car had pirates themed murals all over it, including the door jambs...
...Mike Lamberson of Draggin Lines Pinstriping hooked up the rear of this lowrider. You can always identify a Lamberson job a mile away!
...this scroll striping was done completely in varigated leaf and looked badass...
...another one of the hundreds of pinstriping pieces that were on almost every car...
...there were many murals that featured clowns, and many that featured skulls...this mural included both...
...the next 2 photos are of pinstriping on this orange candy paint job. I thought the colors of the striping looked wicked and the whole car went together really well...
...and this final photo is of a mural by Alberto Herrera. I love this guys work, and I think this was the best airbrush piece at the show. At the end of the day I left with some good memories, lots of inspiration, and a little bit of a sunburn!
