I post blogs less and less as time goes on... I don't know if anyone even reads them anyway, lost in a sea of white noise that is blogs, wordpress, tumblr, facebook, etc.
That being said, in real life over the past months, lots is happening.........
So... the Mrs. and I are working hard as always... we moved to the Sunset in SF a couple of months ago, we're 4 blocks from Ocean Beach, 3 from a killer dive bar, and minutes away from food, bars, Chinese foot massage, movies, parks, and people driving like shit and hocking loogies all over the place. I regularly see cars double parked next to open parking spots. I see people in dirty sweats driving $90,000 cars.
I just hit my 5 year mark at the shop, we have a magazine article coming out in Tattoo Life in September. We also just finished a monster painting project for a book being published by Miki Vialetto.. Spider Murphy's Flash, with 110 sheets of our blood sweat and tears by all of us at the shop. Printed and hand-bound in Italy. It's a pretty big deal, we're even closing the shop for 5 days in Sept. for a book release and signing at the London Tattoo Convention. This is beyond anything I really thought would become of my work, and I'm fuckin ecstatic to say the least.
My band is working hard, playing shows and in the middle of recording an album.. hoping to release our debut album in the next couple of months, just knocking out recording bits here and there, as time and moolah permits.
The 4th should be awesome - going to Pop's to watch drunken tricycle races with Mrs. and my son who just graduated college. Hope to see some familiar faces there.
