| Fuckers on myspace, starring Derek Kastning |
[13 Sep 2009|12:40pm] |
So someone alerted me to the fact that someone on myspace has been using some of my work in their portfolio. And if you look through it, it's pretty obvious that a good 75% of the work they have up is not theirs. I cannot believe how fucking retarded and low some people are. Do you seriously not think that you're going to get found out? I can't decide If I'm more flattered or enraged.
Anyway, if you have a myspace, you may want to go leave the piece of shit a nice little message. Because I'm in Junior High today. And you should be too.

(the tattoo of mine that he's using is the hulagirl in black and gray from a few years back)

Been a while since I've posted some sweet rockin' tatties. So here's a few from the last couple of weeks.
OMG STEPHEN COLBERT!!
Yep, that's a man in drag. Yep, that's the star of X-files in drag. This is David Duchovny as DEA agent Dennis from the show Twin Peaks. Recanize!
And this is just some sexy medusa hotness, almost finished. We've got one quick session to go.

| Time to blow this popstand. |

So we've decided that it's time to move out of our house. You rememeber the one. The one that has been on the market since 48 BC. No, we haven't sold it. No, we haven't rented it out. We are just moving out.
Why, you ask? Why would we choose to continue carrying our mortgage, and add paying rent for an appartment to our plate? Well, to be honest, it's because Schwa is a good husband, and is humoring me. I can't do this for another year. I can't even do this for another month. I will go crazy. I will start to set things on fire. Maybe the house? Maybe myself.
The added bonus is that the house will continue to be on the market, now with less litter boxes, less cats, and less smokers that are sometimes great at not smoking inside. It will be empty. The realtor has agreed that this could be rather helpful in actually getting the house sold. So here's hoping. I'd love to pretend that this is the main reason for us moving along, but in reality, it's because I'm losing my brains.
In other news, I started writing a business plan. We're not moving to California any time terribly soon, but I figured that I'd never believe that it was real if I didn't start treating it as such. Apparently, I'm a hell of a business plan writer. But the money/projections stuff terrifies me. So I'm letting my future business partner, Deanna, help me with that. How does one even go about guestimating how much money a new business will bring in? It seems like it's the art of sounding believable while having no idea. We could do amazingly, we could fail completely. I'm not psychic.
Well, that's about it. How are all of you?

So I just found out that one of my old clients from Greeley died. I'm pretty sad about it, she was so young and she was such a sweet girl. I don't know what happened or how she died, all I know is that I might be doing a memorial portrait of her on her mother. I've never done a memorial portrait of someone I've actually known before :(
Eli, Robzilla, and Chris also tattooed her. I did a portrait of her Dad on one of her arms, and a stylized flower that her mother drew on her other arm. They were a really close family. I hope they're doing ok :(

If anyone wants to see drunken photos of me in a tattoo magazine, pick up the latest Tattoo Society magazine. Towards the back, in the write-up of the Alla Prima party in Vegas from May. Famouser!

It's been awhile since I've posted some work. Here's a few from the last few days :)
This was SO MUCH FUN TO DO!!!! I heart Mucha, and this chick rocks so hard and let me tattoo her for hours upon hours to finish this up in one session. Hope to see her again on her way back from her around-the-world vacation :)
EW! Pig heart! awesome.
On my good friend Jsun, owner of Runic body art. Huginn and Muninn.
And Mirelle's back is coming along! Obviously the water etc hasn't been colored yet on the lower back, but I love how the sky came out. And check out the BABY WOLVERINE in there! BAM!

| United Breaks Guitars. |
[07 Jul 2009|10:34pm] |
United Airlines breaks musician's $3500 guitar, refuses to accept responsibility and fix it. Musician promises to write and produce three songs about his experience and make videos. Here is video #1
In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didnt deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. I promise.

I have a gorgeous 1979, dark pink vintage Vespa, with all original and restored parts for sale. I'm really sad to part with it, but I really need the money right now. I'm asking about $3600 for it OBO, let me know if you're interested and I can send you some pictures and some more details.

My godson is growing into such a cool little guy. He knows more about space and planets than I do, and he's four. Although he thinks that the hubble telescope doesn't exist.
