i work alot.
and i have no idea what to do with any time off at all.

i always end up wondering where my one day off every once in awhile goes to.

it sucks hard balls, since all the work ive been doing has been marginally rewarding at best, and turbo lame at worst.
lots of pictures of tattoos that i wont send anywhere....

My childhood friend spence got a tattoo of a skeleton wizard ripping out of his arm when he was 15. You should be sure to put something like that in your book.

Also, I want to see a picture of Jess's first tattoo, and why isn't she on here yet?

Have fun with the kiddies. Watch some David the Gnome and Captain Kangaroo.

i sometimes hate being a custom artist in a street shop, and sometimes, when ive worked a kabillionteen days in a row, im grateful to be able to just soak up suckie walk-in fuckholes and not have to really think about anything. i mean, i still give 'em luscious tattoos, but i can do a dolphin with my eyes...

it's probably just me,
but when did being a trailer asshole become the industry standard for street shops?
i mean, do i HAVE to paint to be a 'real' tattooer, or can i just tattoo?
and when did only doing appointments that cater to your speciality become progressive? and why do i get so mad when i choose to live in the woods?

i dunno....

hey sour grapes. youre not doin anything wrong man. why you so down on yourself?? youre the man!! totally origional style still staying traditional which is fuckin huge right now. is it the mountians?? those motherfuckers suckin it right out of you or what?? there isnt a secluded area by brandon for ya to live in?? so, you gotta long haul to work, big deal. youll have your sanity at least.

the only reason i paint, well,... airbrush is cause its like doing huge ass tattoos but fast as hell. im the lazy man so whatever is quickest and easiest. it does really help with stumbling across new tecniques and stuff though.

yup, i do the things you listed in my journal but i am also a very social person. my house is the one where everyone tends to gather. always someone over or on their way. late at night when the first shift world is sleepin and not bothering me is when i get all the painting and drawing done. it works but is starting to wear on me cause i dont get enough sleep.

hang in there man. i dont like to see ya all frustrated like this.

friday:
i hate my custys too. maybe its cuz im a crapricorn...or maybe its because they all treat me like i dont know anything and they think they can boss me around like im 15. either i never want to work with the public.

hows your new place?

conventions.

retardedness. i did a LOT of tattoos. they were all pretty decent too.

BUT i was in the side super biker room. mad old time biker guys who apparently hate black folks!?
many stink winks and evil eyed angries, and hostile comments and aggressive mullets and narrow minded 'tards hating the fact that i ONLY played real hip-hop all day every day. making new...

good question about the three line is enough rule. it does seem like that is the "norm" doesnt it? i will try not to do such..i enjoyed the little rap you left..you must be careful when in the rockies! i always thought opening an oxygen bar in one of those higher elevation cities would be a smart idea. smile
andreww:
when i wrote that stupid shit i was stressed the fuck out.i realize that im still an infant in this industry.it just frustrates me to have my name shit on in a small town,i tattoo a lot differantly than i did then,i was moving too slow and over working areas that were harder to work.thanks for your honesty,i appreciate it
