TOTAL RECALL!
I know all the Giants Win! Hoopla is long past. But i was going over some old
drawings i did last year. I totally forgot that the original of this idea was the last team to beat
down was Texas. I made it Texas randomly because the T made a nice shoulders and body shape
for the little dude. On further advice and critique from my fellow man. We decided it was more
realistic to have them battling LA at the end. Anyway realized i had made this design
Jan 28, 2010 maybe i shoulda bought a couple lottery tickets too. Anyway
Go Giants

Ive been so bad at getting my blog on, been in the Lab making some black magic! But lets do a little catch up.
One of my recent trips was to beautiful Medellin Colombia to Launch the Gold KidDragon figure we made for Gallery bestiaextrana.
They picked Ol Johnny Trash up from a long 34 hour flight, and we drove down the windy roads to the city.
were we ate and went to check in.

had a nice salad, a colombian cheese and spinoche canalloni, flan and a Medellin barley pop!

Then i checked in to the telly, I love hotels, good and bad. Just love hotels.
Now this one SHIIEEETT! was nicer then any house ive lived in, had my own kitchen bedroom and 2 bath.
Not trying to brag all im saying is they took care of your boy!!

Got to the event that night, kids were deffinently too cool for any school ive attended. Early in the night all the youngins were out very cool and very excited!

hit a nice veggie tofu thai jammy jam

then it was time for a plethora of custom Shit Yor Pants colombiuan shots. If u dont know what plethora means see 3amigos

Then all the heads got together and we hit this old car.

these dudes make these little cardboard figures !

Woke up with my friend Harry Hangover! had a Traditional breakfast of Cheese and a colombain Papusa, watched an amazing movie.

Christmas is more important out here then it is for Macys in the US. found this crazy display

Like i said before everyone in Colombia as breast implants, even the mannequins!

found one of the homies painting this dope bird on the street.

2010-02-20T11:39:00.000-08:00

Just recemtly moved, and decided to go on the first of the month art walk. Wasnt that great untill i walked by a porn store next to a gallery and a old fat man was smoking out front and said "Cmon in and check out the art show",, in a groggly voice. I laughed thinking thats funny art show, it is an art show in a porn store always. He then goes no seriously theres an artshow come on in , i entered and sure enough there were paintings hung in the front of the dirty shop. Naked vampires and lesbian wrestlers, there was a table at the end of the front room with a big lonely man sitting at it with a few prints "this is my art!" he said excited and a little sad it was some comic book looking smut art it was pretty cool. Nothing amazing. i turned to leave and my eye caught this little gem. I froze , i had to take pic , i mean just the pure excitement the fat dude was going through was great, maybe just so stoked hes able to partake in an office romance 3izzle or for the fact he gets to be in a 3izzle and leave his socks on either way this was the diamond in the ruff.

2010-02-17T09:44:00.000-08:00
