My First Hat I Drew On

This is the first (and only...) hat I have drawn on! It's a V Co Bratrud Cheese Hat... with my lil Baby Love on it. Was just trying to let the freehand flow on this one...

Oh yeah, my script isn't as janky anymore- been working on my Mike G letters, fonts, typography, and calligraphy-

Main focus in terms of art right now- establishing my lettering and my character

Here are some other pieces I have done recently

My Valentine for Kilian <3


and my Hula Girl, gotta hit up the background, work in progress

Roger Skateboards

Have you heard about Roger Skateboards?
LoL. Well famous skateboard artist Michael Sieben and Stacy Lowery just started it. They are going for a grass roots approach and I love it. This brand is defiantly on the move. Funny Ass Shit.

Beware Of The Humans Art Show


On Saturday night, the Lobero Theatre was where it was at! Beware Of The Humans is a clothing line by Joe Beraldo, another 805 hommie that was the main feature of the show, as well as the theme surrounding the event. Joe hand picked a group of talented SB locos to show case their work at the famous theater. See the pics below...


Evol from The Seventh Letter Crew down in Los Angeles came up. This painting/ drawing of the pit bull was probably my favorite. Mad skillz.

Beware Of The Humans clothing on lock deez.





The zombie Pin Up by Ben Kendall. Sicki to the gnar.

I would have to say that this one was the hit of the night, again more works out of talented Ben Kendall. His realism is off the charts. More pictures to come of the live painting...stay tuned.

Estevan Oriol


Juxtapoz contributing photo editor Estevan Oriol, known for his raw images of LA's street scene and lowrider culture, currently has a sicki billboard up in Los Angeles. Oriol has established himself as a powerhouse within urban culture and photography, collaborating with Upper Playground, creating Joker Brand Clothing with Mr Cartoon, all the while working on a new book, Ink, due out soon.

I love his work! The pictures he takes are so raw, it just gets me. Maybe because I grew up in SB, I love this culture, or maybe because I am half Mexican, either way, I dig it.

Shepard X Live Strong X Lance Armstrong



It is fun keeping an eye on Shepard. He has blown up so hard in the past 2 years, although he has been blowing up for a long time now... for those of you who are up on your art game know this. I was pretty damn star struck the first time I saw him at an art show in Laguna Beach, the Juxtapoz Factor, where he was DJing, one of his favorite past times.

Yet another amazing collaboration, Lance asked Shepard to do his ad campaign for Live Strong. As if Lance needs more celeb attention,I guess the guy is very deserving and is quite accomplished. Whateves. Hommie is cool.

Shepard notes:
"Cancer has affected my life like it has millions of others. Both my mom’s sisters died of breast cancer and my mom underwent a double preventative mastectomy because of her genetic predisposition to breast cancer. A good friend of mine, Justin Van Hoy is about to have a bone marrow transplant because of his Leukemia. When Lance Armstrong asked me to participate in his “Stages” art project, and create a mural for the side of the Montalban Theater in Hollywood, I was honored and glad to help the cause. Check out Lance’s foundation at www.livestrong.org.

SWINDLE Mag Featuring Mike Giant



As if I couldn't talk about Mike Giant anymore, I just read this article in SWINDLE Mag on my lunch break. I propose that you do the same here.

The article touches on Mike's inspiration and what has lead him to be where he is now. Not only does he draw for five hours a day, he really likes porn and having sex. Two things I did not know, that I now do. Ha! Maybe that is why he is so good at drawing hot beezies. It is not featured online, but in the magazine there is a page dedicated to a "day in the life" of Mike G. I thought it was pretty interesting. I encourage you to read this article, as he always inspires me, and hopefully inspires you as well.

Art Steez

Yesterday was overwhelming for me, as will be today. Not only did I have an amazing day, but when I came home, I had a little present waiting for me from Costa Mesa. I got two signed Creature Skateboards 'Vikings of Hesh' prints from Todd Bratrud. I will post the pics soon, but shit is out of control! I first saw the 'Vikings Ship' at Church of Skatan... and had to have it. And I got it. I scanned some of my work/ sketches last night too, so here it is... More on my Character Case Study.

Above, I was so inspired by Creature that I wanted to create a dark/ gothic pin-up while using the green and purple combination of colors. She is a cutie, but I am sure she will transform later on, as she is in her infancy of development. I am also planning on a doing a huge Lily Munster.

This chic will just beat your ass. My favorite part of this sketch is the camel on the left.
On the right, this character has stars around her because she is one of my favorites.
Tribute to Olvia. See her shit on the right- her link is there. But I LOVE THIS PICTURE! It is different from the characters, she is more real, and gets you where it hurts.
Manga Bishou is straight up hyphy.

just some perverted skateboard decks

I came (haha) across these decks last week. Woah. They are pretty gnar gnar. But I guess sex sells. Those above are OK. Below are WAY COOLER. Check out Kate Moss's fake titties, kind of hot to picture her with tig ol bits.
These DGK Fallen Soilders are pretty cool. I like the idea, but I think they goofed it on the graphics, not hard enough for me. I found those ones below on another skate website.. I think they were air brushed or something, anyways, they are way cooler. What do you think?
