« Older Entries |MARTINO FROM ITALY
Saturday, October 31st, 2009
Last night we had another old friend come all the way from Italy to get blessed with some ink. I did a piece on him the last Milan Tattoo Convention which got a First place for best of the day.
Its always a pleasure to see old friends.
I will continue on the rest of his back in a few months when we go back to Europe……Til then good luck on your way back to Italy Martino.

THE GETTY
Friday, October 30th, 2009
It’s a shame when we hear that residents of California have not experienced the awe of The Getty Museum of Art in Los Angeles…We made a field trip out there to look for some more influence and inspiration…but we gained a lot more…
We wanted to check out the old master paintings above anything, but we had the chance to see some sculptures and casts, centuries old on our way in and around…Paying attention to content, story, and subject matter…
Here’s a little taste of the amazing work the Getty has on display…we can’t give it to you all…you gotta see them for yourselves…dozens to hundreds of flawless works no blog can do justice.
We passed by the Sketch Gallery on the way out and our guest artist and friend John Perez particpated in a quick gestural rendering of a marble cast sculpture…
Make sure if your in the area to stop by the museum, it’s like nothing you have ever seen…

MOUGLEY
Thursday, October 29th, 2009
My boy Ernie came in to do his lil mans portrait. Its been a while since i had worked on him. He wanted to get back in the game.
..The detail in the beanie was incredible. Ernie, also wears proudly the tattoo of his daughter, as well as the famous collage/illustration of christ with an old woman in the prayer position. It’s always fun to work on my boy, we have lots of good times and always think back on how it was when we first got started in the game…
This is one of those pieces that really jump started the Lowrider legacy…always brings me back and reminds me where we all came from……..
