wow im back

I feel like a whole new person, re-energized and ready to take over the world.
 THIS MUCH ROPE+
 THIS BIG HAND CARVED CROCHET HOOK=
13 FOOT GIANT SQUID. 
what a fun project, im so glad i have folks around who push me to make my crazy ideas a reality.
 Ive started a new bi-weekly cartoon that appears on the attendance sheet of my intro to Shakespeare class. it took the instructor a few weeks to figure out who was creating this guy.
last but not least, ive started yet another sketch book and since ive been so inspired by music, life and other artists, its getting filled up fast. this is a cartoon version of Kyp Malone from tv on the radio,  their concert is tonight with the arctic monkeys and needless to say im stoked.

new project.......



Im restoring a car......not just any car, a 1967 volvo 122s. one of my favorite cars.
should be a fun summer project. i can not think of a better way to spend my day, then getting dirty in attempts to keep rad cars like this on the road for years to come.
recently painted an epic portrait for a friend, we had a shark themes painting trade and i think things turned out really well. my piece entitled "rotang the shark puncher" is on the right.
also, im in the works of a new site and web store where ill have prints originals toys and when else i feel like available for purchase......stay tuned.
