My bilingual protest sign from yesterday’s #handsoff protest made the cover of the Atlanta Journal Constitution

I had the same experience with the first Butthole Surfers EP, there was no designation for proper play speed anywhere on the album and I had never heard the band, just dug the name and punk cover, so I wasn’t sure what it was supposed to sound like.

And too many people

Too much sand for me

Every situation has it’s own unique set of problems or potential, just depends what you want to wrestle with more ;)

We are 30 minutes away

Very secure area too, muy tranquilo

There is cheap land out near us that you can actually hold title to

Whereabouts?

Whereabouts?

I wish I was tending my gardens in the Yucatan instead of staring at the computer on this cold gray rainy day.

Awesome man, looking forward to it!

This weekend I will be making a rare vending appearance at the Oddities and Curiosities Expo in Atlanta, stop ny and say hello if you’re there, we are the first floor!

We can make that happen!

New work. After 25 years of tattooing, I have become so conditioned to being “tight” that I need some relief and want to work in a looser style. I am completely self-taught when it comes to painting, and they may be crap, but I am enjoying the freedom.

Thanks, he’s a great little guy!

Is that the same as s rapidograph? I used to love drawing with those. I hand inked many logos with those, french curves, straight-edges and triangles back in the 80’s.

I heard folks like puppy pics up in here. This is Guillermo.

Two more new paintings for the upcoming Oddities and Curiosities Expo. I want them to look a little weathered. I am painting these in a much looser style than normal, because I think it lends itself to the aged imperfection. #odditiesandcuriositiesexpo #monsterart #thecreature #mypetmonster

I’ll be posting more soon!

Thanks so much!
