Mayhem

The past week has been quite the blur.

Had a BBQ on 4th of July. Pablo brought the salad. And the sunglasses he stole off Macho Man's dead body.

Went up to Portland with my friend Lango for the week. Got tattooed at Art Work Rebels for a couple days. Love it up there!

Joel getting tattooed by Jeff P. Both of these guys are making some really good tattoos these days.

Flew back to SF for Mayhem fest to party with some old friends. I gotta say, I really miss heavy metal summer camp!

Kingdom Of Sorrow was SO heavy! Jamey Hatebreed on vocals and Kirk from Crowbar on guitar. Doesn't get much heavier than that!

Unearth put on an amazing show! One of my favorite bands I've ever toured with. These dudes can fucking party!

Machine Head put on a great show. Always great seeing these dudes!

Megadeth was flawless!

After all the beer bongs, I think it's time to detox. I've consumed enough alcohol in the past week to float a battleship. My body hates me.

Back in Burque

Went for a ride with my dad in his new whip the other day.

Then he gave me a haircut at his barber shop.

Then he cooked up some fish heads!

I got to draw with my nephew Duke that afternoon.

I also got to go for a bike ride with Duke's brother Sage. He's been riding my classic old Redline bmx that I picked in 1986.

It's been good times here in the desert, but I sure miss the San Francisco fog. Back home soon.

No Love

Peace out Ferdinand! Hope your new life is filled with plenty of love. I'll miss you, kinda.

Hopeless romantic.

Zoltron.

And now finally in SF...

Dirty

Not sure this was ever blogged. Giant has nothing to do with the shit on the left or right.

I swear Frisco is one of the dirtiest fucking cities in the States.

Today feels like a Monday and that ain't fun. PMA all day.

My First Tattoo

The fun kept going and going. Lots of bad decisions in such a short period of time. Please get my humor and understand my joshing. I love impromptu tattoos and fucking up someone's skin for life.

Justin May.

SF.

Out of all the words that come out of Baron's mouth, 99% is tattoo-talk.

Lang doing his first and hopefully last tattoo.

Me doing my first and what's looking like a very promising career. If you want a tattoo by Joshy D., holler. I only tattoo what I want and it 'll probably be my signature.

What took a case of beer and some Jack, oh, and a little ink, is now on Baron for life. Enjoy buddy.

Happy Friday! Happy Canada day, Canada! Happy 4th of July 'Merica!

Poor Cunt

Had a drunk time at the tatty shack.

I think I'm being scolded here. Or to rewrite drunken history, I'm being complimented.

I think we both can agree this is the coolest clock we've ever seen.

Oooh, that smell. Can't you smell that smell?

Hella suck it.

Poor cunt.

Happy Thursday! Get it right, get it tight.

Visit with Travis

I was in LA yesterday meeting with Travis Barker. He put me up at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. It was cool. I had a great view of downtown. I thought it was strange that downtown was so foggy. Then realized it was actually smog, not fog. So gross.

I spent most of the day at Travis's studio which, as you might expect, is full of drums.

Room after room of drums.

This is Holmes at the controls. He played the new Blink 182 album for me, which fuckin' rocks! It hits the streets soon.

At the end of my visit I gave Travis some new ink.

Another day in the life...

Summer 2011 Lookbook

mashKULTURE was kind enough to shoot a lookbook for our Summer '11 collection.

"It was shot in and around Castle Hill in Budapest last Thursday. The mashKULTURE team is featured in the photos. We started at the bottom of the hill, walked up, and then shot in an around the Castle Hill area, which can be found on the Buda side and is home to the Buda Castle. The whole Castle Hill district is very historical and therefore a super touristy spot. In large part due to the castle and the sites around it, along with the great view it has to offer of the Pest side. The Castle Hill is also a residential area so there are locals who live there and not just tourists. The dude in the last shot was some bum who lives there and asked us for some smokes and change. There are also some random tourists in the photos since there are just so many walking around checking out the sites." -Mark

A big thank you to Barnie and Mark for these great shots. Check it out.
