prints soon to be available at merchline.com

yup, thats about it. these print will soon be available from my good friends over at merchline.com
some are new, some are old.
all of my prints are made by alpha reprographics in ny...the best of the best when it comes to archival printing.
take a look and be patient as it may take a minute to get them up on the merchline site.

also i have found a wonderful new long sleeve shirt cut. the material is thin and oh so comfortable but the best part is that the garment has a 97% uv blocker washed into the fabric. save those tattoos from the scorching florida ultra violet light. (uv damage can happen straight thru a regular cotton tee shirt)

also coming soon....next week i believe.

thanks.

24 hrs per day, 7 days a week....

....is not enough time. Not even close.

I've been having a blast making pigment and tattooing and painting and being a father and after all it is hockey season. However as much as I know I should have gobs of free time on my schedule I just can't keep up. If I plan now, come summer I might actually feel like a normal human being.

I'll admit, partially it's old gold. I definitely hate to admit I need a break from tattooing to mix pigment but that is the case.
The response to old gold pigment has been huge, so thank you all who have turned into fiends over it. As well as pigment fiends, the response from people wanting to get tattooed has been good. However life is short and tattooing 60 a week is so 2011 and 2010....honestly for 16 years I have been a bit too OCD over tattooing therefore I am not accepting new clients at the moment. my goal is to get to two clients a day, four days a week
My nature is to follow this with an "I'm sorry" sort of statement however it's such a relief to write that don't dare follow up w a lie. It's a weight lifted.
Of course there are 5 of us at redletter1 so please come by, talk w Sarah and she will figure out a way for you to get tattooed, just leave me out of it ;-)

falcons, turtles, art and one hot babe.

well i haven't been on here much, instagram has stolen my attention. ill try to be on here more again.

my wife and myself are insanely blessed to have friends jason and michelle who were so kind as to watch our four maniacs for three days so we could get some one on one time and road trip it to miami. with four kids this rarely happens...rarely in the form of never.

i have been restoring a ford falcon for the last year and we thought we should drive it. its been a ton of work and finally got finished last week.

he started out looking like this:

wait...wrong photo....thats a dog house on wheels....

right..there you go, thats him. pro street ford falcon wagon 1965 which is synonymous for nightmare/doom/disease.

i decided to restore this monster knowing nothing about cars, now i know a bit...here are a few progress pics ( i have thousands but ill keep it simple)

(noah and marcella rule, period)

(as does my brother)

big change and lots of work....and here we go, road trippin' to miami.

but then right when everything felt so good...this guy was feeling suicidal.

sadly i was surrounded by vehicles and couldn't move out of his way or stop and my only hope was i could roll right over him but that didn't work as he was just too big. so in the middle of nowhere, outside of okeechobee, fl my transmission and this turtle entered a murder/suicide pact and road trip came to an abrupt stop. 

providentially, although being in the middle of swamp hell a beacon of light shined down on us and we coasted up to "total roadside services" who happen to be the most honest and awesome mechanics i have ever dealt with. these guys rule.

he looks good even on a lift.

so $15 dollars and 40 minutes later, they fixed the broken vacuum line on tranny, lowered the lift and we were on our way.

miami was rad, good times, the art exhibits keep getting better and better, at least for me they do. I'm impressed on so may levels its hard to gather my thoughts on the topic. so rather than babble on....check the imagery:
