Full leg sleeve started on my left leg. 8 hours of outlining my leg from ankle to hip courtesy of Adam France @ Red Tree Tattoo. My leg feels a little sore now.

Hell City 2012. Hope to have some artwork on display.

See you there bitches.

Back to the grind. Working out again. Got some studio sessions booked to record some bands. Got my mind on my money and my art. Trying to keep myself out of the gutter. Someday soon I will update this page and make it more current. Until then, this is the web page that may keep you informed on my current endeavors:

Taking Care of Business...at least as best as I can given the predicament I have been in this past year. Like my new job, though time will tell if it gets me the money I need to dig myself out of debt. Other than that, fucking balls to the wall busy on art, home improvement, and and music projects. Should be recording a band in February, and hopefully some other friends of mine will be up from Nashville this spring to record an album. Gonna' take life in a stranglehold and make it my bitch.

Over and out.

2011. Fuck you very much, 2011. You can take what I expected for this year and set it on fire and throw it off a cliff onto some railroad tracks, to be run over by one train after the next, only to be scraped up and put into a food processor and injected into a McDonald's sandwich to be consumed by some fat fucker down in Texas. With that being said, I am ready for 2012. Looking to pickup the pieces and try to get back on some sort of track. While what I have to say about this year mostly involves venom spewing from my mouth, there has been some good to come out of it, so far as art and music has been concerned. I have produced and engineered a couple of albums, made some much needed home improvements, and completed some incredibly detailed art projects. So, onward and upward, cause god knows I don't need to be chugging fifths of whiskey or absinthe as I have done on a few occasions already this year.

In the meantime, here are some links to another me:

Took a break from my recent art and music projects to put together this piece for a Gears of War art contest. Pretty happy with how it turned out:

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Been a minute since my last update, and for good reason. I have been busy on numerous projects, the most important one being trying to find a new job for myself. Regardless, I have engineered, and produced two full length audio albums by two different bands from Pennsylvania this past summer. Finished mastering on the first album this week for the band STEVE. It is a fun record and it turned out a little grungier than expected, which to me, is a good thing. Working through mixes for the second album by a group called Surrounded By Mice. This album is proving to be just as rockus as the last album I just finished, so all in all, I am happy to be the one shaping the sound for everything. Kudos to both bands being well rehearsed for the recordings, as this would be quite the challenge to mix and master with them living another state away.

Working through a massive art project as well. Finishing up inking an airbrush piece I started something like 15 years ago. I airbrushed a 20" x 30" poster and then wound up never going over any fine detail with permanent ink (as is my style). The pic didn't necessarily get shelved, as I scanned it and used it for the basis of the largest and most complex digital pic I have ever created The Great and Final Illusion, which is also the center piece of a 25' mural composed of 12 pictures I did to support my audio album of the same name (released December 2010. It is only a matter of time and money before I can do a proper print of the mural and have an official opening for the project). Anyways, once I finished on my saga of digital conquest I decided to return to the original piece and do it true justice by finishing what I had started out to do- define the existing structure with contrast and definition with the skillful use of permanent india ink. I am down to the final detail of the top third of this massive poster. I can assure you that, once complete, it will be scanned or photographed and uploaded to the site.

Until then, back to my many projects! I have a guitar, Mustang trunklid, lamp, old style vacuum cleaner, and some random metal front clip for a car all lined up to paint. On top of all that, I have a couple people waiting for tattoos to be drawn up as well as an art contest I wouldn't mind submitting an original piece for. Compounded on top of all that, I have a new album I want to record of my own material, plus an album with a group I am in. Maybe its a good thing I am unemployed! Now if only I could get some money for these things I do...or a big, fat lottery win. Whatever! I just want to stay creative...

Be sure to check out my album
The Great and Final Illusion

I wrote, performed, recorded, mixed, and mastered this album and released it independently. Show some love and give it a listen! I will posting supporting artwork within the next couple of weeks.

Fusionface - The Great and Final Illusion

So that EPIC next blog never happened either...prob cause' I'm done with this site. A lot has changed since 2004 when I joined, met a lot of cool people, as well as lot of people stuck on themselves. But I'm moving the fuck on, cause' I see no point in paying for a site I barely use anymore. As for me, I've taken to focusing on music production, working to get my new band sounding as good as possible, busting out some more art projects (painting guitars, finishing murals, getting prints and t-shirts made up), fixing up my house, getting laid, and generally getting my shit together so I can get the fuck outta' Ohio. If you know me I'm sure I will see you around at a concert, tattoo convention, or hopefully at an art show or concert where my new band is playing.

Adios.

Well, guess I never got to those birthday pics...and so much has happened since then. Next blog promises to be EPIC and might just make your computer blow up...so keep me on your friend list at your own risk. Until then all can say is Canada was awesome....and fuck the border patrol on both sides. Thanks for letting my "fat American" ass stay at yer pad Luscious and Dane!
