everyone welcome Bumser Bruder to this world. he was born a week ago. he is the full brother from the next litter of Bumsers mom and dad. for those that dont know the story about bumser my first bulldog puppy, long story short. he was a typical bulldog with the typical healh problems. bumser had a severly thin trachea and was pretty much suffocating. he had to put to sleep at 4 and a half months old after a long hectic struggle with vet bills and surgerys. poor guy.

when i got Bumser, the breeder in bakersfield cali told me that a brother of a guitarist from korn bought Bumsers brother then. now she tells me that the korn guitarist, well former guitarist, Head, lves his brothers dog so much, he wanted one. so he is getting Bruders brother or sister. i got first pick though. not only that, head has gotten to be good friends with the breeder and did an interview for mtv news in her livingroom right after he did his first big preaching deal at some chuch out there. he is even talkin about buying the emty lot next to the breeders house to build his own. i thought that was pretty cool.

on another note, i worked on bankky the other day at work. no pics just yet. it was alot of here and there stuff with some rework spots by the elbow just wouldnt have made a good picture. we agreed to take pictures next time for everyone. almost done.


worked on shawn, singer of Wings of Scarlet yesaterday. good friend of mine for many years. big ass, dark ass cover up shit this guy gives me. we are gettin there. shawn has a lot of work from some of the mid wests best artists. mostly all cover up work though. but still nice work considering. this chest and stomach piece is a big colaboration with me, adam and lane from AdamBomb, barry from Black Dragon (bukis twin brother and shawns drummer) and someone did some poop on him on tour somewhere too. its one big cover up of a tribal tree and some dudes hanging from it eating their guts.
shawn has got to be one of the most intresting customers ever with his morphine sucker. actually a grape flavored morphine pill on a fuckin stick. i still hurt him though.

detroit tattoo convention!! its comming up on the 11th through the weekend. me, inked4life, and a few friends have some rooms at the hotel and are hoping to meet some SG member out there. let me know if you are gonna be there. we will have plenty of party supplies. if you are at least in the mid west, this is the convention to be at. all the biggest named artist from all over, the magazines will be there doing photoshoots of people, and canada is not far. ive had a very unforgetable weekend there one year. i suggest the strip clubs. strippers with french accents.

well, im gonna go enjoy my day off. both my apts cancelled today and i kept it a secret so i could slack today. i have an airbrush painting that is taking forever to finish for some reason. i should get that done tonight.
