Motorhead...

While painting at a biker event last weekend where Motorhead was the headlining act, we were approached by one of the bands crew to pinstripe and letter their kick drum head. It wasn't easy working outside in the field with such little time, but we did our best, and I think it turned out very nice. Spider painted the ace of spades and striping, and I did the lettering. Matt Sorum is filling-in for Motorhead's drummer on this tour, but he's the drummer for Velvet Revolver, and previously was a member of Guns & Roses and the Cult. It was my first time seeing Motorhead, and the show was badass! Afterwords, we got to hang out with the band and get some photos...

ATL Lowriders...

I haven't posted anything for a while because I've left Arizona and hit the road for a while. I'm currently working with my friend and fellow artist "Spider" Papa in Atlanta. We've been doing a lot of pinstriping and gold leaf work on lowriders, here's some examples...

Fame...

A coffee house here in town decided to name my favorite drink after me. I would come in and order it every day for about 5 months straight. It's called the "Atomik Addiktion" It's a badass blend of coffee, cream, chocolate syrup, peanut butter, expresso, and crushed ice. It's listed on the menu at the top of the last collumn. Best drink ever. Go to the Black Rose Cafe and get yourself one

Prayin Reaper Tattoo...

This is the latest addition to the 'Arizona' leg that I'm doing. The lettering is on the front, and I still need to add fire rising from the bottom

St. Michael Slaying a Demon Tattoo...

I started my friend Johnny's full sleeve this week. He wants it to depict a Biblical good and evil theme with angels fighting demons. This first session completed the feature image of St. Michael slaying a demon with hell below and heaven shining down from above. There will be more work done to this portion of the piece to tie it in with the rest of the images, but this is a great start. Thanks Johnny for sitting like a champ!
I also laid out this Old E lettering on this guys back...classic.

Lowrider Job with Perfect Pete...

My buddy Pete asked if I would get down with some pinstriping on a lowrider he was working on. Pete laid out the flake paint job and patterns, and I striped the rest. The car isn't finished yet, but here are some photos of it so far...

Daddy's Girl Tattoo...

I put this tattoo on a girl who's father is a gun loving cowboy...
...and this small lettering on a mom's ankle for her son...
...and if you can guess where this guy is from, then you win a dollar
