Dr Sketchy's

Ad-Roc and I got our drawing skills on tonight at Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School. After we hit up the falafel spot, we were ready to get our art on. I completely forgot to take a bunch of photos, but here are the few that I got. Sketches to come as they get scanned in.


-It was so dark in the bar, it was tough to see what the heck we were drawing!


-A pint helps loosen up yer drawing steez.


-Then my face started to melt.

Things at the new shop have been steadily progressing. Before we know it, we're gonna be packed to the gills with bikes, parts and cycling-related fun. There have been 2-3 of us building bikes for the past few days. It's been an awesome experience so far, to be opening a shop with brand new coworkers. Getting to know each other in a some-what relaxed atmosphere, bonding over bike stories and sharing of knowledge and creating some great ideas.

Since we're not totally stocked with enough/all of our tools yet, we've been bringing our own. I figured that taking the time to label my stuff would work out for the best. Not that any of my coworkers have sticky fingers, simply because my brain sucks sometimes, and when you put two or three cassette lock-ring tools next to each other, can you really tell which belongs to whom? Right. So I got busy tonight.


-I really wanted pink E tape...but Home Cheapo didn't have any. I'm secure enough with myself to rock pink, and besides, who'd want to be caught stealing pink tools? [Note the beverage wrench in the most important spot.


 -Stickers are awesome.



 -Stealing all of the zip-ties outta my box wore Thor out.

Another Year Older

Last night's storm couldn't keep friends away from helping me celebrate another revolution 'round the sun. Six hearty souls gave the hi-sign to mother nature and trucked on over to Eli Cannons for some food and drinks. Special thanks to Carrie and Sarp for hooking up Eli's for us.

-Tina's phone is HUGE.


-The Man, the Myth, the Legend....Dougy Fresh. We geeked out over bikes.


-Todd's up to something....


-Illus made an appearance.


-G-Rock rolled in as Todd put the kill on some wing-action (and looking fashionable in that Gship shirt.)


-Ad-Rock.


-I got to be an honorary fireman that night.


-Trying to make up my mind. That menu is no joke.


-Blackened chicken wrap and fries. No doubt.


-Some sort of boutique wing craziness.





-Me telling an awesome story.


-You guys are the best. Thank you!

Old School...

Here's a piece I did back in my college lithography class. I'd really love to start making litho's again. I might look up my old professor, pay another $5 for a print-shop key, drink and make some art.

January 2011

Trying to whip this thing back into shape. Took a little time off, took a nap, drank some tea, now I think I'm ready to get movin' again. Here's what I've been up to...


-Winter-time = roller-time. Gettin' ready for the upcoming cycling season already.


-Saturday night I went to an "art-closing" and met these folks there.


-This is a terrible picture of Josie, which doesn't really seem fair as she takes awesome photos of everyone else.


-Think this was my favorite piece (save for the awful clock on top of the neck. What were they thinking?




-So well done.


-We all wound up back @ Eli's afterwards. Imagine that.


-Tony Tyrant.


-Young's Double Chocolate stouts are so good.
