Soqeta..boy from the Nakis

...naki boy already had the arm-band done a few years ago in high school with hands and a sewing needle..the process he said took an entire week to complete...I wasn't really keen on covering it cos I thought it ought to stay as it is..amazing skills to achieve the straight and unbroken lines with just hands...

Panther progess

I found these images of the Panther piece uploaded a while back...alot of people assumed the panther was stencilled...I worked on it freehand for various reasons - first and perhaps more importantly is that I wanted each piece (esp. with pictures) to have its own feeling, to possess some kind of distinctive way of presenting itself rather than being confined to a stencilled and simulated plastic sense of existing. Thus, although the panther has a source of inspiration, its existence in/on the client's skin is determined not by this source but within the space and temporal frames of its inking process...(apologies for the image qualities)

Three Mercury Cougars at Three Valley Gap

On June 12th 2009 the Okanagan Mustangs and Fords car club had a cruise up to 3 Valley Gap in Revelstoke BC. After a great day of cruising we arrive at 3 Valley Gap Chateau for an evening of entertainment.

Upon arrival I ran into Robert Nowland and his Rocky Mountain Life Insurance 1969 Mercury Cougar. This was obviously destiny as I had just read about the Rocky Mountain Purple Cougars in April of 2009.

Linda Beauregard/Jackson was on the trip with her 1971 Cougar so we took the opportunity to take pictures of this rare occasion.
