new art...

Scribbles.
I scratched a bit on some paper the other day at the IHOP. That place was a mess... Hickory, NC. Don't go there unless you want to wait for about an hour to sit down. They were apologizing for the long wait until we left. But we ate... and I drew this.




So, that's about it from here... this design will be listed on another site I have. If you want to get more info - or want a print, let me know. I'm feeling creative again, so look out for more cool designs.

Aloha.

the feel...

I'll probably end up posting fun pictures here from now on... I've been told that I have an 'eye' for taking fun photos of strange people and places. We shall see. We'll start the process off by a couple fun flicks from the last couple days.



So, this is the guy that I found particularly fun. He has a mullet. He is a big dude, meaning that he's not a stranger to fast food. He's also headed to the Sally Salon Store, maybe for some more product to keep the mullet under control. This man was lumbering across the road, I didn't have to slow down to take a picture, he made this completely necessary with his turtle-like pace.


In the tshirt world, I've got a quite a few designs done in the past week. A Ronald Reagan design, a Sarah Palin design, a Merle Haggard fan shirt and finally, the most successful of these - the Chet Atkins guitar shirt. All's well... should be updating the blog more often now, I've been neglecting this duty as of late.

Perhaps my cell phone camera will be ready to take some more public pics soon. I really wish my little Sony U20 will be up to the task once I get some more batteries... the ones I have now only last 20-30 shots and they're dead. So, that's the future. Until then... or next time...

new Massive Ink shirts...

This is the new shirt I print for Massive Ink. I wear them wherever I go - or at least I try to. Anyway, this is just a quick update. More to come later... I've been drawing so that means new stuff soon.

part...

I have some news sketches here, but my scanner is missing in action. I will upload some stuff later. Here's an oldie but a goodie...

posts...

Still no new art. I'm a slacker... but not really. I've been super busy getting settled on the farm actually and the art has to take a back seat. But new designs are on the way. I'm excited about some of the new stuff.

More later.

whiskey...

Listening to Thin Lizzy now. Up on the farm here in North Carolina... so if you're ordering a shirt, there may be a 4 day or so delay because the designs that my screen printer are printing for me have to be shipped here. But I am printing quite a few of the designs now myself, so there won't be as long a wait on those.

My woman is planting a garden and we're prepping for summer. Its already getting hot in the shop. Its going to be uber-hot without fans. I've got to find some industrial fans... that will help a lot. Moving air, that's what its all about.

I'm about to setup the darkroom. Should be interesting.
Here's a cool Lizzy video.

the art...

Its all about the art afterall...
My lovely woman and I had dinner with a couple friends that I went to high school with last night. During conversation, my friend told me that he always remembered me being a great artist. I don't think of myself as that but now look at my life and where I am with my art and can only say "DUH, you should have focused on this all along...".

I guess there's a lot we all think we should have done or should be doing. My art is just a natural part of my life. It only seems right to offer it to the world through my websites. A lot of the shirts I sell now don't really reflect my very unique drawing style, but they will in time. Right now, its all about survival. Period.

Here's my art website that goes along with the massiveink.com website.
