Multiple thanks as usual to the boggling slew of clients willing for me to ply my lines and colors onto them. Wintertime tattooing is settling upon us. Longer sittings, tougher outlooks. Cannot wait to get some snow on the ground. lovely.
New, partial series. possibly soon to be abandoned:
Faith in humanity obliterated:
I allowed myself out of the house for fifteen whole minutes last night only to come across a small flock of whores exiting the safeway chaperoned by a thuggish fuck “dressed up” as an SS officer. All period replica pieces, the hat to the boots to the armband every tuck and fold assessed and delivered with accuracy. I stopped and almost said something to this boy while i was arrested half onto my bicycle by his awful getup, but then thought I might as well just ride away. And did. Who mounts halloween as an excuse to flaunt something that vile- and how! To display, firmly, the possession of a full rack of nazi bullshit and imply that YES I AM A WHITE SUPREMACIST THANK YOU in everyone’s faces like we’re all a bunch of cowering fucks that’ll just let you on by. To hide behind a holiday and shake racism at everyone- shake like a halfpants’d pedophile on the playground. The thing is, my thuggish amigo, that although all the children are shocked at this inflicted display of depravity they are also thinking to themselves “my, what a tiny dick.”
Faith in humanity restored:
Christina the Hun put out and album today.

Busy busy busy. Don Hertzfeldt is keeping me alive. Trey Spruance assisting. Becoming reawed anew every day at the simple difficulty of my task and it’s sustaining euphoria. Excited about the move. Do come down and say hi. New shop should be fabulous.
Work:
Again, my favorite band, I Am The Ocean, was in town. I know no finer living than when I am near these ceaseless warriors. Always killing it, never stopping. See them if you can. Drew allowed me to put the above madness on him. Love those kids.
Newschool colorbomb will never die. I’ll be slaying it with reflective curvy pencils when i’m 50. Watch me.
Libi got a little bird on her foot.
Put on the good work, friends.
