Nic Lynds and Ollie Haerle from Ft. Worth came down to deliver their paintings for the austin pets alive benefit. We got to do this awesome candle as well.
Aaron came in with no idea of what to get. We came to the conclusion this would be awesome
Everyone loves Uncle Buck. Unless you where born in the 90’s haha.
While in El Paso i was able to do this fun 3eyed panther on fellow tattooer Crubes Valdez.
I’ve done quite a few flowers this week. Here’s some fun magnolias.
This piece is actually on the same person from the last post (rust in peace). This one is for her Great Grandmother. Just gotta add some background to pull it all together.
This was a fun piece to do in honor of her first car. May it rust in peace.
What an awesome walk in and it was his first id say he made a great choice.
Well El Paso I’m on my way to see you guys so i thought this painting i did the other day would be fitting. See you soon.
Lisa recently went to California to visit her friend Jack this is what i sent her with. 8 1/2 by 11.
I got to do this bomb in between the eagle done by Michael Williams as well as the jerry girl done by Cory Schofield. Fun Stuff!!
So Michael Williams had done the rose about a year ago and she wanted me to add on to it this is what we came up with.
Got to do a walk-in that wanted one of my older drawings tattooed on her.
Fun walk in he had some Old English he wanted to hide. So we went straight for what he loved….hes VW. Gotta have some type 1 love.
Thommie happened to be around when i had my camera so i snapped a healed pic.
A navy lady came in today and got her first tattoo. I personally think she made a great choice.
Last week i did a few fun 4×6 paintings for some fun. I’m letting these goes Framed and ready to hang for $25 a piece shipped or you can swing by the shop and pic one up.
Here in Austin and finally sitting down and decided to write a new update. So you may be wondering how things are going for myself and i must say they are going well. I started of my move to the city with a great gig working at Hole in the Wall a sister bar of Black Market a bar that has treated me well for the past 2 years while i was in El Paso. I have also found my self in a great shop located in the heart of downtown Austin, Sailor’s Grave Ink. Sailor’s is located on East 6th st on the corner of Neches and 6th it’s a great place with some great people. I work there everyday except wednsday and saturday and of course you can always call or text at (915)540-9719. So thats all some really great news, I’m really excited to be here and painting with my good friend Honest Josh Weir.
Its actually really great to be here and painting with someone I had lost touch with throughout the years. Our styles and skills have grown and we definetly feed off of each other. We have two painting schedules and week and will be broadcasting those sessions live via web cam so keep your eyes peeled for that. On top of that we have a whole series of shirts and various other things to also look out for.
Now on to more important things. So its true me and Lisa are offically wedded and things are going great. Lisa has started school at Paul Mitchell and she will soon be providing the Austin area with all there hair care and cosmotolgy needs. So if you need anything from either of us hit me up. Lisa and I need you get out a bit more and explore the city, but that will all happen in due time. We are currently living down south of austin, it’s a little further away then i would like but rent is cheap and the roommates are awesome. We will all probably be relocating to the central area in may when the lease is up here.
Thats just a quick update I’m not really one for many words at least at this point.
With that said if your downtown swing by and say hello I’d love to see some new and familiar faces.
So tough time happen and trying to make them happen backfire from time to time. Hans Drost and i had a great time at the NM expo this past month, however we will not be returning for the December show. Josh Weir and i postponed our trip a bit and are planning another a longer one as we speak. And looks like there may be some change ups as far as work goes.
In other exciting news Lisa and I have decided to leave this great city and venture on to another place. So as of Dec. 1 we will be living in Austin, Texas. It’s a quick and abrupt move but we are doing what we feel is right for us. So looks like Josh and I will be fucking up shit a bit sooner then we expected. Also as of yet I’m not in a shop yet, hopefully i will be able to find work before the start of the new year.
As excited about the move that I am. I’m still quickly reminded of all the amazing people I’m leaving behind. I love each and every one of you guys and you will always have a place in my heart. I’m going to miss Unbreakable and the whole crew. Luis has always been there for me as a boss and more importantly a friend. Black market, fuck Mario and Austin have always been there and had my back through thick and thin. The stanton street house (chris,justin, and oscar) you guys are my family i know I’m not losing any you as friends. But it pains me to think I won’t just randomly see you guys anymore. The list of people is probably too long for me to put into words, just know you all mean the world to me.
The best part of the whole experience is that Lisa is coming. Wait, two best parts. The second is being back in the same city as my sister and better yet the same house. I’m so looking forward to next year and hope Austin decides to show me some love.
I know i had promised to have a site way sooner than this, but its finally here. So now that its here I’d first off like to thank Andrew Hite for really busting this out for me i whole heartily appreciate all his hard work. If you need some web work down go ahead and click his name in the bottom right hand corner. Now on to whats to come.
So here’s my new place on the internet where ill be living. I will be having some weekly blogging going on, and seriously on a regular basis. Also i will be constantly updated my portfolio at least at a monthly rate so always keep checking out whats new. If you like what you see click on the prints for sale are and get a hold of me. Also, if you are in the need for some fun tattoo work give me a ring, shoot me an e-mail, or stop by the shop anytime. Looking forward to the next few years. FTW
