Bento!
This has already been seen on the Facebook but I need to throw it up here for a certain, special person.
Now I’m hungry.
Coming Soon.
Friday February 4 there is a new old art space/gallery opening in downtown Victoria. It’s the second incarnation of Monster Party. Come down, check it out starting at about 8. I’ll have some work up that I’ll share here next weekend but you should definitely check it out in person if you’re in the area.
It’s in Talk’s Cheap
556b Pandora Ave.
Victoria B.C.
Now, for a small update.
The answer is yes, I do amuse myself. Sometimes all you need is paper towel a pen and a 15 minute break at work.
Straight Flingin’
New doodle, while sitting watching The Social Network. Not sure why it made me think of poo.
Also threw together a small Neck Face tribute for this weeks Blackbook Battle. I’m still new to graffiti in general so I don’t seem to have the same heroes or the same history as a lot of the battling community. Still happy with how it looks.
Another post very shortly.
I’m Wearing my Battle Pants. Yes, they are fancy.
A couple of Blackbook battles since I’ve been back. Almost missed the zombie battle last week with travel and travel recovery. Just made it. Looking for some better grey markers, these ones are a little underwhelming.
The most recent battle (today!) was character free which is difficult for me. My character work far outshines any lettering and typography, hopefully battles like this will help me build a well rounded ability.
There are a lot of exciting things coming down the pipe fast, t-shirts, hoodies and fun. Keep your eyes on the blog. Comment, positive and negative are both desired to validate my existence. Tell your friends, enemies and strangers your undecided on.

“Dog will Hunt”
Blackbook battle time again. Anything goes this time around as far as characters or words are concerned. The theme is your favorite movie and it must feature the year the movie was made in the centre of the piece (trying to keep the cheaters at bay).
I’ve run into some issues colouring the piece but thought I’d throw it up hear a few days before I actually submit it.
The good thing to come from this is my Leatherface. I love him so much that he’s now immortalized in stickers. Yay STICKERS!
Blood…and Some Black Stuff
Blackbook battle once again. I’m a little late posting it up here, the results are already in. Despite being overwhelmed with how good my competitions entry was I managed to tie. I’d call shenanigans if the judges had any conceivable reason to favour me.
Black and white battle but still, I don’t get it.
Japanese Print Blackbook Battle!
A little long for the scanner but hopefully you get the gist.
Wish me luck in the first battle of this new season.
End of the Battle Season
My first Blackbook Battle season is coming to a close. Without knowing how this last entry will fare I believe I’m sitting at three wins and three ties. Not bad, I can do better.
The last entry, my opponents entry is strong so we’ll see how it goes.
Blackbook Battle 5
Blackbook Battle update once again. It’s November so the group went with a Remembrance/Veterans day theme. I liked the design so much that I turned it into a sticker sheet.
For the battle itself, I posted up the original line work and my newly minted military might.
Peace is bloody business.
Lest we forget.
Tis the Season!
I’ve been participating in a weekly Blackbook Battle through Facebook. The challenge over this past week was the entire alphabet. It took two tries and ended up black and white but I’m happy, I may be able to use this for something in the future.
FINAL BATTLE…FIGHT!
Worked on a couple of pieces for a blackbook battle group on Facebook. First I did this.
Try to see through the poor picture, I’m still photographing drawings instead of scanning. Due to some glaring issues I had with that piece I did a second.
I’m going with the second one, it will have been submitted by the time you read this. Have I made the right choice?
Wish me luck.
