Trying a New Technique
A bunch of months ago I was stoked to see that my art hero, Greg “Craola” Simkins, would be teaching a painting workshop at an upcoming tattoo convention. I signed up immediately… and plopped down my $50 deposit.

12x12 Show | ArtDC Gallery
I painted up some variations on a theme for ArtDC Gallery’s 12x12 exhibit going on now!

First I decided I’m going to become a “famous” artist (which basically means I want to get in to Juxtapoz magazine— not sure how long this will take, but I’ll do it)! Second, I decided to try to learn to create art in a completely foreign medium (acrylic paint). I’ve been a doddle-y oil-painter for the last few...

qrissy asked: Do you like Spaghetti-Os?
Hey, Tumblr! I'm testing you out!
I reckon this is my introductory blog post. I just want to get a good sense of what I can get away with as far as what all can be included in a post and how it might look.
For example, can I embed a video into a text post? Let’s give it a try!
That should be a video of me workin’ on a painting…
What else? What else? Oh I know! I’ll make a bulleted list. Ready?
