Often i get startled by a blank page. In order to disarm it I vandalize it, making me care less about it. Easier to make a messed up page look better then it is to improve on a nice serene solid color. So throw ups and tags are in order.
Did some clean up/ surface prep with some mists of yellow, orange and red beltons. and started to sketch out some letters.

.o7 Staedtler and White Molotow One4All marker.

Went in with some brush and One4All ink. Below on the top left you can see i even broke out the old tooth brush for some good ole fashion stippling, i was being a bit cheap with the ink so its some one restrained. However its brought me to the conclusion in need an airbrush to add to the bredth of makrs one can make with Molotow Ink.

I finally pushed a few areas back by doing some top misting with the belton cans. You can see it in the top hat of Ras Top-o-page, and the same for the edges of the checkers. def couls have done more of that kind of stuff with a airbrush.
more images of this can also be seen at the molotow blog: http://www.molotow.com/magazine/blog/blog/2010/02/27/719/

My man DJ Slug AKA BarnMandigo aka Michael Gangelo asked me to do a quick sketch for his crew, The Operation.

so this is the first attempt, the ‘rat’ part looks pretty familiar. A nine letter word is a bit of an undertaking thats for sure.
hey yo BarnDog Zinni, hold tight and be easy
its the same thing again in 2010 believe me
pockets feeling needy, the shit im in is knee deep
looking into hooking up some words to feed me and my peeps

I ordered some more One4All a few days ago, and it arrived. I decided the best thing to do was to round out the primaries and take it from there. TO celebrate i started to paint another side to a wooded create i was given by Boogies sister.

This is jsut the first sketch and some basic undr coating, its a bit further along now but i havent had a chance to get the images dealt with yet so more to come.
Stay tuned! I havent had achance to write that yet and as its prolly fairly premature why not jump the gun, so if you’re one of the 25 or so folks a day who get here only to hastily click away, i say it agian, stay tuned more to come!

Another test of the Molotow One4All inks, using watercolor paper, water, brushes and a niji water brush. Ive found that if you mix the black ink with water it will stain the water to give you a wash but also sink to the bottom so you can scrape the bottom of the container and get an opaque black.

****EDIT:
Ive been pretty fascinated with this whole assassination story. Its lead me to decide 75% if those around me are assassins in waiting. Sleep-sassins if you will, just waiting to get to some killing. I watch a 20 minute compilation of all the times the assassins were apparently caught on CCTV. Its really too bad the ultimate answers to most awesomely potnetialed mysteries are mundane and lame; because there is some real potential for gold in this whole story. Minus the fact that some one had to die, of course.
35% sure this guy could be one of the suspected assassins responsible for the Hamas official Killing. Dont quote but if he turns up having killed a few folks around here in the near future i will say i told you so, until then ill keep my slander between you me and God, shhh quite as kept.

So i went to get some sushi for lunch the other day, after not eating to well over the prior few days due to a combination of anxiety and excitement. So i roll into my spot near work, and its crowded, more so then normal. I plan on taking out so im not to concerned. Im standing by the counter/ seating area and waiting for the dude working the register to finish so he can take me order. Hes kinda of all over the place, but its cool since its crowded it doenst seem to be an issue; take your time. After waiting about 5-10 miniutes a couple walks in ansd stands behind me, waiting in line ot be served. They were there for a minute before the register dude turned around and asked them if they were a larger then two party and started to make moves to seat them. Well NOW hevs Not happy, this is some bullshit, at the least its a rude oversight at worst this fucker is a bit of a racist, like my order and money isnt as good as a nice Caucasian couples, and im not even dark. So It was time to get LOUD, we needed to get to the bottom of this. “excuse me what im invisible ive been standing here for 10 minutes and weve made eye contact when i came in, im the biggest person in the resutrant you didnt miss me, why are these people getting served first?”
“Oh sorry Sir, my mistake”
“your dam right it is, in fact deal with them i dont want you taking my order or dealing with me, you blew it” . Luckily for him i recognized a waitress I deal with regularly or enough for her to recognize me and she came over and got me my food with a smile and warmth that save ole boy from getting a severe talking to that would have attracted the attention of all patrins and the bose. I don’t like to affect anyone’s livelyhood so even in times of horrid service i try and hold my tongue since we all need to eat, but treat me like were in the old south and you’re gonna bring out the stereo type your scared of; especially if my English is better then yours.
Anyway while i cooled out i did a lil drawing.
