Gabrielle Giffords shot in AZ

Horrible news... and even before I read it (without any political bias) I figured the victim would be a democrat. Very sad... very very sad. Here's the article with more particulars.

Sebastian Bach is a free man... karaoke to Journey... on!

I've always loved Skid Row. No one can talk smack about Sebastian Bach. The guys got serious talent. Hope he bounces back from his impending divorce alright, from the looks of this video - he's doing just fine.

homeless man instant success in Cleveland...

This is an amazing story. What an impressive voice! He's just a great person, someone who has a chance now to get his life back. His name is Ted Williams and he has an amazing gift and an amazing voice!

This is the video that started it all!

farve... again?

Just read that Bret Farve is in trouble for yet another sexting mishap. Here's the link to the New York Daily News' article.

Funny picture here:


I don't understand why high profile people like this figure they're antics aren't going to catch up to them sometime in the future. But then again, he's just a football player, not an IT guy.

New Year...

Happy New Year is in effect. 2011 has come in with a bang, literally. All the neighbors were firing muskets and lighting off mortars apparently. Good to have neighbors like this. Haven't updated this blog in forever, but intend to now this year. I've got lots to list and jaw about. New designs and such.

Here's something I'm listing on my eBay store, something for the John Lennon fans out there...



Anyway, its not really an award winning artistic effort, but its great for its message - as mystical as it is. THIS IS NOT HERE. Indeed. More interesting designs to come. If you want to buy this shirt in my eBay store, you can find it here:

That's about it for now.
Aloha.

stickers...

I have a new addition to my arsenal here. I can now print custom vinyl stickers with long outdoor life. I'm sure that these stickers WON'T last as long as a resin ink, screen printed process, but they're great for small runs. The other day I slapped one of my truck and its holding up good... it says:

MY BORDER COLLIE
IS SMARTER THAN
YOUR HONORS STUDENT

I put the sticker right below where my dog Trouble (a border collie) likes to ride in the back of the truck. Its got to be funny pulling up behind me in traffic and seeing this black and white sheepdog look back at you with his tongue hanging out, smiling.

That's about it from here for now.
Tshirts, now STICKERS! Progress ;)

sketchy...

Went sketchin' tonight... hit up Denny's for some early late-night food. Eggs, peppers, hash browns, sausage, pancakes. So good. Doodled before the food got there, then afterward drew a bit more.

We then checked out our local Barnes and Noble. I usually just sit and draw while my lady collects her favorite trade magazines to read. Today I picked up a magazine though, out of character for me, but I'm glad I did. The mag is called High Fructose. Lots of great art featured within, I highly recommend it!

Anyway, here's a scan of the sketch from this evening.
