finished this last night

so thanksgiving was full of food. i pigged out. not that often my single ass gets full on home cooked meals so i tore it up. i was at my parents house and while i was there i was able to finally pick up Bruders cage. it fuckin rules!! turned out absolutely perfect. if you havent heard the story, heres a quick rundown,....
my dad loved Bumser (bruders brother RIP) and wanted to give a gift to what he called his grandpuppy. so i drew up a rough idea for a custom cage for him to build. i had no idea it was gonna turn out as exact as it did. i am no blue print artist by any means, but it worked. well, Bumser had to be put down before the cage was barly even started. i had my heart set on getting Bumsers brother so i told my dad to keep building. well, he did and Bruder is here and he can have it. in the sketches the name plate says Starker Bumser but it now says Bumser Bruder. so heres the cage in progress,....





then i did a full color rough idea to show the swirls in the metal and the light underneath,.....


and here is the finished product. cant find a purple rope light for the life of me so there is a blue one in there for the time being,.......





and a shot in better light for ya too,.....



and my fav detail on the whole cage,......

the Mack truck bulldog hood ornament.

,....and here he is chillin in his new pimp ass crib,.....

so a big thanks to my old man for hookin Bruder up like that. this thing is so heavy duty welded that it will be passed on for a long time. many dogs are gonna call this place home. all started from my first four legged buddy, Bumser. i may seem like im obsessed with Bruder or something, but man,... if you saw him and got to hang with him for a bit, you would be hooked too. hes the shit. if someone else owned him and i met him, id still say hes the shit.

anyway,...i got to meet kiki_michelle last week when she came in for her appointment. if you go check her journal you can see how much we got finished. go look before she updates. otherwise you wont see it in here untill its finished. so thanks to her for driving to west allis to hang with us for a few hours. no matter how much she will tell you it hurt, she did great. dont believe her

this week, i also finished this,.......


this is his first tattoo. there are alot of motherfuckers around here lately gettin some big shit done pretty quick. these guys are gonna be covered by the time they are 25. goin all custom from the start too. planning their stuff out pretty good too. i like to see that. just hope they can keep their jobs. i know how many jobs i went through around that age.

well,... i gotta get movin here and build up some nerve to go out tonight in the damn snow and cold. a few buddys bands are playin tonight and i sort of told them i would go. even though it is in a town that always has a funny smell in the air when i go there. its gross. ohh boy, im complaining already.

ohh yeah,.... i also finished a new 4 sheet set of flash,......


ok, bye!
