So it's been a couple of days since I came back from SDCC and all I can say is....IT WAS FUN!!!!
This year was totally awesome because of many reasons. I got to meet all my old friends that I don't get to see much. I got to see all my friends from Japan this year like Chika, Mori san, Kiyoka san, Chanmen, Don, Hiddy and many more.
I also got to meet new people like artist Ayako, guys at Monkey King, Kurt from Laser Tag Cartel and many more. I just want to thank everyone for the great time and I hope that next year will blow up even more. I'm planning on having my own booth next year so i hope many of you can make it next year.
So for todays post I thought I'd post something else than my art. I wanted to introduce all you guys to the most awesome band!!! Well to me their the best yet. The guitarist with the pink hair, named hide (hede) was one of the reasons why I started listening to them about 15 years ago. The band's name is X-Japan and I'm sure most of you have heard their song I.V. at the ending of one of the SAW movies and also on Rock Band. they have been around for a very long time and have made a come back.
Unfortunately, hide passed away a while back. Rumors are still around that it was suicide, but I feel like it was a accident, like many says. He is awesome to me and one of my total true hero's of my time.
Here is one of the songs I love titled "Kurenai". Also, I'm introducing you to the band cause their music is what I listen to most of the time when I draw.
So last night I was thinking how I was going to miss SDCC this year and startted to kind of getting pissed about it. I mean, all my friends from Japan will be there. All the collectors I know will be there and most importantly, Noboryu will be there.
So while I was going back and forth in my mind I just said to myself "Dude....fuck it. Just go!!!!" So my mind was made up and guess what. I'll be going there now!!!! I'll be there from Thursday till Friday afternoon. If any of you guys wanna meet, I'll be the one with the red hair, short and deffintly with a hat on. Now how hard is that to find......lol
So I am not sure if many of you have seen the works by Kurt Barbee, creator of laser Tag Cartel and a few of my skate deck. LTC was formaly known as 5280lasers. Well I wanted to share with all of you the current and upcoming laser engraved skate deck designs Kurt and i have put together. These decks are available upon request. The prices for each deck will be priced at $250. If you are interested in purchasing one, please contact me and I will send you the instructions on how to obtain one. Thank you again for taking a look, and remember, this is not all of it yet. Still got more ideas to come soon.
NOTE: The two last decks are designs just sent to Kurt. He will have to test out the designs first to see how it comes out, but I'm positive it will come out awesome!!!

I just wanted to remind everyone that will be at SDCC this year, (lucky...), that Noboryu will be attending SDCC. And what other way to make his appearance. He changed his skin into gold to wish everyone who is attending and also showing a big good luck. Hope everyone will have a blast. He will be chilling with the awesome man, KOZIK!!!! Booth #4736.
So I just recently got the time to upload some pictures on my Flickr page, and I totally forgot to show some here. The show was held at DDR Project Gallery this past Saturday. We had a blast!!! Live Music by my friend Tracy, Awesome friend of gallery owner John's friend being a sexy Geisha and alot of people coming in since we opened the doors. So the show went well, and I can't wait to do something like this again some day. So on with the photos.
Hello everyone and I hope all is doing well. For me I've been trying to keep myself busy and deffinetly tired. But I can't let go of my pen so here is another finished art I did. It is the one where I drew directly onto glass and sealed it with clear resin. This image will also be a image for my skatedecks, which I collaborate with the best dudes at Laser Tag Cartel.
