SKETCHBOOK IS ALMOST DONE!!!!

This is really exciting - My sketchbook is almost done! It's a collaborative book with Dave MF' Tedder {www.davemftedder.com} and Chris Vennekamp {www.chrisvennekamp.com}, 2 of my boys from th' dirty. They work at All Or Nothing Tattoo- You may have heard of it. Great guys and GREAT artists too. Go check them out their work is ill. I'm really honored to be a part of this project. I did all the graphic design for it too, which was a challenge. I'm not a digital artist and it took me too long to do what should taken anyone else about a breath and a half. whatever. I never claimed tot be a jack of all trades, right? All in all, for my inexperience, it came out looking amazing. Here's the front and back covers that I Photoshopped together. I'll let yall know when It's finished publishing and available!

work work Work - and, no I can't whistle

I've never been able to whistle. Can't snap my fingers either. Now, when I see you,  don't be that guy who tries to teach me, like you're saving my life. Like I've just been waiting for you to come along with the super-secret knowledge of how to rub my fingers together. I am quite aware of the technical aspects of both these activities. I am just sorely inept at them. 

But I can make pancakes like a motherfucker. Apple, blueberry, oatmeal, corn, zucchini (thanks Tatyana) - bitches it don't matter I got that shit on lockdown. 

That being said, I would really appreciate some pancakes now. I've been working, moving, living. Moved back up to New England a few months ago and it's taken me a few months to really get settled in. To build a home. Community. I've been  tattooing my ass off- making art, riding my 10 speed, you know the deal. And wouldn't a big hot pile of flapjacks be a perfect break from all that? You gotta put butter on them- I may be a bit of a purist here- but I'm not too big on syrup. Tree blood is dope, don;t get me wrong, but I never really learned to appreciate it on pancakes. You know what though- my Pops makes homemade berry syrup and it is AMAZING. Not too sweet- you know how super sweet stuff will completely take over your tongue start drop kicking your teeth till they ache? Yeah I hate that.  But his syrup is good. Just right. Yup, hotcakes, and then work till you drop. As is my life, and I love it. Bottoms up yall.
