Whoa-I encounter those people on the street and at the grocery story all the time. I assume they're the same people who blast shit out of the POS factory 6x9 set-ups in their cars all treblely and annoying.

As much as it pains me to say, I'm kind of glad Bon Scott went when he did, thereby avoiding the embarrassment of current Van Halen, AC/DC, Aerosmith,etc. Also, he had some awesome tattoos:

Here's the pics from yesterday. I didn't get a chance to get anything new, but had a chance to talk with Cris Cleen and Idle Hand crew, Triple Crown, and AP Shrewsbury. I was going to try and get something from Andrew Stickler, but he got booked with 3 people right before I came up. There's was tons of great art and merch. Most of the pics I took were from the art show that featured original pieces from the new "2012. The End is Here" from LLL Books (limited edition run-definitely worth picking up: 2012: The End is Here from LLL Books I didn't take any pics of people getting tattooed; it seems kind of stalkerish and weird when it's a stranger getting tattooed.

Went to the opening party last night at Triple Crown and ate some great BBQ provided by Scott Ellis and co. Had a good conversation with @Dan Martin from the board. About to head out in a few. I'll take pics and post later = )

Sorority Cenobite

Seriously laughed out loud on that = D

Hooper, Jondix, Ryan, Shrewbury, Von Bartholomaus,Garcia, Albrigo all seem like "spiritual" tattooers

Also, Mario Desa posted a new one on his Instagram yesterday.

Walk-in Customer: "Can you do a woodchuck with a monocle,handlebar mustache riding a tallbike w/ an owl holding keys?" Tattooer:"Sure thing, let me sketch that right up *a few minutes later...* Tattooer:"Here's the stencil, you ready to start?" Walk-in Customer: "Hmm-my bicycle-riding gentleman woodchuck with his owl friend sure came out looking like an eagle fighting a snake on a skull" Tattooer:"Sorry, that's how I draw 'em"

Compared to his teammate's tattoo: Or Bama's QB's tattoo (wow): It's pretty next level = /

Found this earlier- pretty cool mix of Art Nouveau and Christian iconography: artist website Christian Visionary Art by Deacon Lawrence Klimecki - Art

Cross or compound?

Cats on the brain:

That looks just like our female outside straycat

Slow news day

Second line of limited edition tees & stickers are in the shop now: FallingApartArt Store Thanks for the support!

How Old Is Your Old-School? Raises some interesting points.

Oh, I think they'd be gay out in the 'free world', too. It's all good; I inherited an older female long-haired calico from my ex and she used to have such disdain for them. Now she grooms and tolerates them. But I don't think we could have another female cat. We've also inherited a neighborhood stray female and we're currently trying to run off a tabby male who's been coming around (because he's intact, he likes to spray stuff with piss, which I can't deal with). Both them are outside and will stay that way. They take care of our field mice, which is nice.

Man, I tried to make two- one with Chad Koeplinger and one with Jeff Zuck (along with Robert Ryan and Hooper a few months ago, but those were longshots anyway). Neither one will be there, even though CK is listed on the site. I think I'm getting the Mary on my arm touched up by Ezra and my fiance' might be getting something from Joey Ortega, but that's about it. Unless I find someone tattooing that's not on the list, which knowing that site, is totally possible. I'm batting zero for getting tattooed right now.

Reddit = )

I'm sure it's supposed to be clever.

If your tattoo contains: Memes, mustaches,monocles,song lyrics,script,scribbles,aardvarks,cheap beer,irony,bicycles (especially tall bikes),phonographs,or fonts,it might be a hipster tattoo. Personally, I have seen combos of all the above.

"The Mechanic" was alright; made me want to see the Bronson version though.

I had a bad problem with insomnia before I got sober. Two years later, I sleep through the night, barring some kind of loud noise like a thunderstorm. I keep my room PITCH black- heavy duty blackout curtains all around and run a small fan for white noise. I also lift heavy weights every other day and that pretty much annihilates me.
