Last weekend

Spent a much needed relaxing weekend in Carlsbad and Pacific beach.
Hung out with some friends and made time make a visit to Kim Boyle's place.

Juan's bike

I painted this bike for Juan and he finally finished it! It was built by Cory at MAINDRIVE Cycles in Texas.
He sent me these pics. Nice and simple, I love it!

Coming up for air...

Been so slammed with work that I haven't had time to do anything. Since this year started I have been non stop painting,pinstriping and lettering, long nights and weekends. I feel like its time I come up for a lil' air and share with ya'll what I have been up to this past month....

My friend Grant hooked me up to do this job for Source Interlink Media Group, whom he works for. Hot Rod magazine, and Sailor Jerry Rum teamed up to build this Rat Rod. So they commissioned Mackey's Hot Rods in Huntington Beach, to build it and me to hand paint all of the Sailor Jerry original art work on the car.
Good times hangin out and workin together with Brian and Austin of Mackey's Hot Rods, on this project. Its funny because. Brian, Austin and I met a few years ago when we went to Japan for Mooneyes show. So it was nice to be able to work with them.

Keep an eye out for this! It will be gettin around to all of the shows coming up.

Mobile painter

Started this year off doing a lot of mobile paint work. So weird sometimes the way things happen. Being a pinstripe artist/painter, you never know what kind of job opportunities and challenges that will come around . I am so glad that these jobs came to me, I had fun doing them!... Here's one that I completed recently. Theres more to come too.

This 1953 chevy truck was for Alan. He was one of Hideo's old customers. Hideo apprenticed under me for about 2 years, he has since moved back to Japan to start his own paint business, Kamikaze paint and pinstriping. He is an amazing artist, who learned the trade pretty fast. Thanks to him for refering his old clients to me. Alan is a really cool dude. He is a jack of all trades kind of guy. Builds cars, builds bikes, pinstripes. What he does professionally is, he owns and operates his own gate and automation company out of Huntington Beach. He does everything from servicing gates to building them and installing security locks and cameras etc. You can check him here Coast Gate & Automation if you or you know someone in need of his services. Nice guy. Tell him I sent you.

Last week

Had a really good weekend.
Worked a little on this for my friend Andre who is opening up his own shop soon.

Then Nicole and I went to the Known Gallery on Saturday.
Amazing show with ZES & RETNA. The gallery was packed with a huge line of people outside trying to get in. Thanks to our friend Ken for taking care of us, we got in and had a great time.

Check out the Known Gallery Blog for more pics of the show.

Then we went to our friend Rosie's Birthday party at the Big Foot Lodge.

Going here...

This should be good.
