THINK GREEN

Here is a recent one of a remix.. He already had his name so we hooked it up by adding his company mascot and name.

SOUL SUNDAY

Smokey Robinson is a living legend and alot more commercial than the groups we play on Soul Sunday, but he broke color barriers and was the soundtrack to the Vietnam War.

TRAILER OF THE WEEK

This is one of the films we keep on rotation here at the shop. Robert DeNiro did his thing for his debut directorial. If you haven't already seen it you need to pick it up.

"The worst thing in life is Wasted Talent"
is the one of the greatest lines in this film.

Last Day In NYC

The last client of the trip was a international client he wanted a half sleeve to take back to Germany with him. I granted his wishes, with a traditional favorite of mine, he also got his brothers names in my script. I have to say a special thanks to all of those who travel from far off places to come and get work done, a few of our top travelers are the Japanese, Germans, British, Thai, and Australian’s to name a few, thanks for making the journeys and I always try and make sure you go back home with the sickest piece of west coast art work.

A special thanks to everyone who came through to get work done out there on the East Coast, and a thanks to my friends on the East Coast your hospitality is second to none and none of this would be possible with out you. I had a great time and I am thankful and happy to be home. Look out for my next East Coast trip in Feb I will be back at the Marcel to kill it once again, and as always its back to business here on the west coast. A final thanks to the Hotel Marcel for keeping a open mind and letting artist have a place to work. Stay up Toon$
