Check out this fun lil lettering tattoo I get to do today on my loyal client, Roberto.

Finally got my new shop cards, hot off the presses!

This past weekend was Taste of the Danforth here in the Tdot, and I was posted up right in the center of all the festivities at Danforth and Pape workin out of Tattoo Culture. I got to meet some nice peeps, do some fun tats, and eat some tasty chicken souvlaki, classic greek salad and some of those loukoumades balls that the fam go crazy for. Missed out on the bbq’d pineapple this year, but next year, it’s on!

Niki came through for her second session of her native wildflower woman inspired half sleeve. Stay tuned to peep the next session soon!

Check out this piece I finally got to finish today:

Tonight, I had the pleasure of watching Ivie and Derek‘s band 9 yrs at the Silver Dollar. These guys put on a great show, and have now whet my appetite for their first album that will be coming out soon!

While watching their band play an energetic eight song set, I became reminiscent of the time when I was just entering highschool and joined a couple bands. I need to find some pics I used to have of when we’d play at the Kathedral for Supernova shows. My band used to cover songs like Metallica’s Orion, Black Sabbath’s Paranoid, Tool’s Sober, and a few NIN tracks too. And then it became more about partying like a rockstar, and less about making music. I really miss playing guitar. I still wake up in the morning singing. I’ve also got a set of turntables collecting dust in my laundry room. Something needs to happen with these things.

The purple Reverb building at Queen St. West and Bathurst is now being demolished to put in some more shoebox stacks, also known as condo’s, which is a strange thing to realize. Alot can happen in ten years. Just another reminder to really make the most out of the next ten!

Check out this under the naval rocker I drew up for my bossman, Derek. Stay tuned to check out the first session of linework. This thing’s gonna be bad ass!
