Ajos ajos, comosta..., I gotta post a mini-post r'ght quick before I clockout for the night, what is good I owe alot of ya'll a ring tone but I'll get at ya soon, been mighty eventfull on this side of the map which is pretty nice, here's the quick skinny:

-The Bags birthday was mighty nice, I went bowl'n and done did it
-Saw Wu-tang live! Wow, dope show on the mighty high 5 tip, I even gave Masta Killa dap and was r'ght next to Ghostface when he was give'n out KFC chicken buckets to the crowd haha, wish ya'll was there
-to clear the note I still don't curse or drink, word
-Klaimco has a Myspace page now, log name is "klaimco@hotmail.com" and the password is the same as the one on here, go sign in and add text it needs life or somth'n I just filled out the basics -I finished the Klaimco dunks and will be sale'n them on ebay in april (the aim that is) -I went to the sneaker Jam on Sat, it was cool, nothing to crazy, meet some decent connects so that might be helpful down the line, I'll be get'n pro-style flicks past to me so I'll post when they come through
-I went and saw Gary Basman's lecture tonight at Rollins College, I only saw half of the lecture but it was cool, I dunno if ya'll dig his work but I've always had the interest and respect for what he does how much ground he has covered with his work, he shared some good insight, hes head'n out to uberbot morrow night to do a signing, I'll be there for a sec, more so to shake his hand and get my Baseman deck signed, haha...what a fan r'ght -I went to megacon on a free pass tip sunday, it was chill, the highlight of the con visit was cop'n a dopeTaiyo Matsumoto book for 5 bucks!! Its called "No.5" Its freak'n dope, I want all his comics now, sample his stuff when you can-Blacktop skateshop done did this shirt, its on american apperal and sales 20 a pop, he (james-the owner) was pretty amp'd about this shirt so he wants to do a line, I mean you know I'm down but we'll see if he is really commited to go through with it, he's provide'n the funds and I'm get'n SB Dunks in trade, what a deal!!! haha...production is slowly roll'n, I didn't pick the colors for this run though, to be honest I think it would of looked better if the colors were reversed, or atleast have the image be a darker color cause its kinda hard to read but eh, its whateva for now, first bags shirt on my end for the '06, The next shirt in production is his dog drawing I did, just the outline...kinda amp'd to see what it looks like on a shirt I'm gonna dwell in slumberland for a bit, eat healthy folks -the dam bags

First illustrious stration for work. A little brib the company is printing to give to the art director of a new client. They used their secret weapon...me. They don't want me to f up any real jobs. They really aren't gonna give this piece away. It's a joke to keep me occupied til my pink slip comes through.
Calling all DFer's for help. CD is due pretty soon. sorry. my fault.

Paintings are coming slowly but steady.

ATL is cooler than Bow Wow is. which is cool.

S.I>4 here posting some ish some might not have seen, It's my color rough of my first painting for the commission. Here's the goods, The gun study is the way some parts of the piece will be rendered while other areas are more suggestive and loose. The characters might get made fun of by my dear friends over at D.F., but you must take it up with Mr. King because I am following his words.



Tomorrow's the first day at work, It should be a good time. Oh, Bareez is the new Orgy/Fiona Apple Collab video, here's a screen shot. Peace from the dirte'

-Bags ***smash***

Here I am...

S.I. -Fulltime juggler

Back from Sayre-sota and ready to smear the rainbow on wood (hetero style)

Ben- Call me first, I dare you.

I am waiting for Daddy Warbucks (the good doctor) to meet with me to see the 3'x 4' frame for the first time. This thing takes effort to make well. I still have to power sand the face of it to give it the porcelain goddess effect. This thing doesn't look big in the flic, but it's almost nipple height on me. Formiddable but exciting that it's already sold.

I am finishing this study of a 1848 Colt Dragoon Pistol which is the gun I picked out of all of the history of revolvers as Roland's gun from The Dark Tower series. These books are really good so clutter your nightstand with some King.



Also trying to finish this Albert React CD cover I want DF to go over me on. I like the painting as a piece but I want you to "do it up real big" with the graphic design to make it a good package design. The lyric I am illustrating loosely is "the trees are screaming through the ground, and we're drowning them out" I want you to clear up the message however you see fit. Patterns, fabrics, Just stay kind of serious with it. I trust you....ehem.



Another painting I am waiting to dry (all my photos are bad) is a piece got some good green for right outta school. I went over it and re-painted some parts. It looks cool in person and is 2.5' x 3.5'.



I start my job on Monday and am thankful for it. I can live like a normal person now, almost. I have to go home and paint for a year, but it's a great way to keep pushin it. I agree with bags and don't want to see my old work ever again, even the rabbits (especially) Tower series is the first of the new S.I. (Death to my Characters, sorry B2 and painting exclusively from my head)

Alice in Wonderland Show 2007 w/ or without Tim McCormick (showing currently with Barber)

Dustin this could have been you...wink.

this is MY wig peace.

Heres a drawing that I'm turning into a painting for this French poet's Artbook. Its pretty sweet, I get to layout a two page spread and the book comes out in Europe...kinda amp'd about this one, I get a copy in Nov. The poem is about this dude long'n for this gyrl, but this gyrl is totally get'n smash'd by this other dude and somehow the word wolf was used so yeah that explains the mask...emo. I dig the drawing, I know its kinda Mr. Jean influence'd but once I lay down the paint that should change the vibe, I'm adding the poem to the left, I'll keep the process posted...dam, much to do much to do....FEB, Month 2 lets get it!
