Brooklyn's Finast

As most of you know, I'm a Cleveland native, but have been livin' in Brooklyn for the past 4 years now, and have grown to love it. My first visit was in 1990 on a college field trip to the City, which had me as 'open' as homeboy in the Stevie Wonder, 'Livin' for the City' cut. "New York City... Skyscrapers and everything..." 

However, as much as I liked to visit, I NEVER imagined living here. As luck would have it though, I was blessed with an opportunity to learn the 'prestigious' art of tattooin' which was the means by which I was able to move here to Brooklyn, and NOT have to work at McDonald's to support myself while painting at night. 

Now, some 18 years later, here I am in the heart beat, of style and culture, New York City. Although I've visited, worked, and have friends ALL over the city, I must admit that right here in Bed Stuy is my favorite. Like Biggie Said, " Brooklyn is the borough!"

As a tribute, I put together 4 designs with Brooklyn as the theme for the recently past DUMBO (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass)- FEST. Originally, designed to be a 3D collage, I thought it would be great to sell them as limited edition shirts, that include a framable signed color print.

As for the other boroughs, stay tuned...

Check the Sky Store to order yours, today!

"Big Shirley (Chisolm)"

"BK to the Fullest"

"Comin Over the Bridge"

"I'm in Brooklyn. So it Must be a Sign"

This shirt project spawned this Digital 3D Graphic Collage project (that lights up).  Currently, the light boxes are on display (and for sale) at the ReBar Walk Way Gallery located at: 147 Front St. in DUMBO, Brooklyn as part of the "Brooklyn Digital Perception" show.

Sin - The Back Piece from Hell

Been busy in the lab cookin' up somethin' new and tasty; some painting, some airbrushing, some shoe design, some T-shirts, to name a few. Yeah, I'm mad busy these days. With Fall fast approaching, you gotta stack ya nuts before the slow season. So, I finally took the time to post some new work.

Because I seem to specialize in Black/Grey these days, I'd thought I'd try some tint action over the original to liven it up a bit. Yea or Nay?

From Shine-ola to Shit.

Welcome to every tattoo artist's heartbreak. For those who have ever been with a virgin back in the day, and you made sure you set the bar high by 'puttin it on em.'  Remember? That way, you could always feel or hope they'd never find anyone better. Well, do you remember when after you broke up, then saw her/him with someone better and you had to give it up to him/her cause it was apparent that you couldn't hold a candle to them?

Now apply those same feelings to a tattoo virgin, but finding out they cheated on you with a "FUCKIN' TATTOO PARTY SCRATCHER! To make matters worse I only charged him $100.00 so money shouldn't have been an issue. I blessed him 'cause it was his first and I wanted to make it 'special' (no homo) to gain his trust and earn his business, then he goes and does this.

Of course, he now comes BACK to me to fix it. Now imagine that lover realizin' they made a mistake by leaving you and wants back in. I'm 'bout go Ike Turner on this fool. Please comment on Face Book to let me know how you would handle this. I posted an album that you can link to and comment on. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Oh, did I say he has a whole $300 to correct and  finish the sleeve. Yeah, I know...
