All Kinda Wrong!

Every so often Ben gives me a heads up on people I should post on my twiiter, because let's face it there are some serious kinds a wrong walking up and down the streets of London. I mean jesus, will some one think if the children or please consider my very own retina's. So I was giving this little tidbit in my email from a admirer of my tweets. And I couldn't resist. I have to give people props for stepping out the house looking a damn fool when the rent was due last year. But me I just can't, but my jaw dropped when I saw this, Bring it bitches, bring it! I wondered if it was from a client whom works at Vice as responsible for their Do's & Don'ts. Someone should have been a true friend and told her to get her tuck on or at least pass the poor creature some gaffer tape.

O Kurrr! Bow Down Bitches to Real Mother Fucking GLAMOUR!

You Better Recognize, This will be taking fashion week by storm. So be prepared to loose hope, faith, and diginity.

I Do Be-Weave I Am Going To Cooter County!

WORD!

Big Whoop!

Today should feel like any other day When I was a small boy I used to dread my birthdays cause I always thought my parents were going to be mean to me for saying or doing something wrong on my birthday, for merely being excited about the day I was born. So In the 16th of July 1968 at exact 3:45am I was brought into the world in Orange California. But I am thankful for my life today. I am thankful for my partner Bren, whom I probably don;t show enough gratitude to, and should, cause I love him dearly. I am thankful for my dog, Joleene, the best birthday present any one has ever given me. She's my sparkle nibbly nib. And my shop, and the guys who work there. I am thankful for my friends, they know whom they are. So I have no expectations today. So this might make you laugh.

Take 2

Having been to Japan and seeing these guys congregate in Yoyogi Park In Harajuku Tokyo was an amazing experience, Ah memories I have a direct fondness for Tokyo rockabillies, as they pay attention to detail and the chicks and guys always look smart and killer. They really pay attention to detail. I still have my favourite cowboy shirt I got from Cream Soda in Tokyo, back in the day and the shit still fits. Fuck me, I can't believe it's been 14 years since. I always love when I see when two subcultures merge to make a truly original piece of work. Makes for an awesome party. Should get my lazy ass back to Japan! So I remembered this song when thinking of my music vault and it's accompanying video. If you get a chance to check out Peter Bjorn & John, do pretty cool music.

From My Music Vault.

Every So often a customer will ask what or who is playing in the shop while being poked and prodded. So I remembered that my old band back in LA used to do a cover of The Nerves version of Hanging On The Telephone, I really love their of the song and still always sing along in harmony to the song. Don't get me wrong, I love Blondie's version but feel The Nerves deserve their due respect for creating a great song. It's also worth mentioning that I love L7's version of the song. Donita Sparks shrill scream in desperation at the end of the song is what I love most.

The Only True Tranny Caca!

Speaking of sneaky gays, this one goes out to the shamed republicans whom recently fell from grace.
Here is drag comedy artist Sherry Vine doing a polished job on Tranny Caca's latest release. I am not sure how I feel about Lady Gaga, but I always laugh at the videos Sherry cranks out.

Enjoy.

New Card!

As I usually change my business card every so often, I am reaching the end of the last of my current cards and decided to make a new one, just in time for the Tattoo Jam show in Doncaster. Let me know what you think. At the moment I am really into the mechanics of the human body and the transparency of looking right through something.

Scott Campbell for Louis Vuitton

Scott Campbell is a fucking brilliant artist and while I was blogging about Amanda Wachob, it crossed my mind that Scott is on my list and he deserves a shout out for landing a gig with Louis Vuitton as their latest collaboration with the label. Known for his laser etchings and paintings, he's taken to their coveted bags and models with his vision and are pretty ace. The bags are not for me nor my taste, but they are beautiful. It also helps when your client is head and Artistic Director of the fashion house, Marc Jacobs. Kudos.

Favorite Tattoo Artist: Number 13

I always appreciate tattoo artists whom think outside the box and work really utilises any imagery that is not solely based on just the current old victorian new school works. I first came across New York artists Amanda Wachob's work when a New York client of mine came to get her other sleeve done. Alex, my client has the other arm done by her and that is when I sought her out. She's an amazing painter as well whose work isn't again based on just tattoo iconography, as so many other tattoo artists work is. Check her out. Also if you get the chance too, check out Alexandra Spaulding's work to, she's a bad ass bitch from New York whose pretty cool and always good for a laugh. Alex's work is based on sound and light and she's pretty ace, see below.
