again not much new in my exciting life...should be finishing up my split set of flash with javier this week...this one has been a tuff one...not too inspired lately and have been influenced by some art i can't quite grasp...kinda pisses me off...not enough time in the day to do what i want/need to do...between drawing for clients..tattooing...taking care of the family..and trying to seek out new references for art....little overwhelming at times....fell like i need a few clones...and there will still probably be not enough time in the day....

one of my new favorite artists right now is thomas hooper http://thomashooper.wordpress.com/
dude works in new york at new york adorned...seriously some crazy shit he does...its all mainly black n gray...with heavy on the black side...love this stuff..very powerful...he lists his references on his website..there within lies my downfall....this shit just sucks me in...before i know it its 2-3 hours later and i still haven't drawn a damn thing!!! oh well what can ya do...i want to start doing some more stuff along the lines of this but more in my style...so i will be working on that in the days/weeks/months to come...should be a fun study....well off to paint some flash to trade at the san jose convention....HAMBONE
