Aquabats Concert

Aquabats rule!!!! This was the first concert I've been to in around 7 years. I used to go just about every weekend to a different show but life took over. anyway the Aquabats haven't been in Florida for over 4 years so I wasn't going to miss this show. They are hilarious. You cant go wrong at one of their shows. Great music, great background video nonsense with clips from old monster movies, kung fu movies and just plain crazy shiz and strange rantings from the MCBC in the middle of songs. Such awesome stage presence. I had so much fun it was ridiculous. Got my pic taken with MCBC and my CD/DVD combo signed by MCBC and Crash. I also got a sticker and a squishy little bat pal. Like I said before Aquabats rule!!!!!

After that show I had to go across the street to pic up my paintings from "the Garage" from the show I was in a couple weeks prior. Anyways "Agent Orange was playing so I got to see about 5 or so of their songs live as well. 2 great shows in one night. That was a great night.

Mercer Mayer Little Monsters Tribute

last night for my birthday i wanted to try something different. i haven't done watercolor since highschool maybe 10th grade and ive been wanting to for some time now. my wife bought me a water color paper pad, some watercolor paints and brush set last year for christmas and i havent opened them yet. so i figured id break them out and give it a try.

what better way to do a water color painting than to honor one of my biggest inspirations growing up.
Mercer Mayer gave me my first love of monsters and water color. I still love and have a bunch of the Little Monster and Little Critter books. Thanks for all your great inspiration Mercer. You will always be a hero in my eyes.

Ugliness Within Reflects Throughout

This was something fun to do. I doodled out a rotton bird type head and liked it so wanted to use it in something. i also wanted to practice the female form so decided to mix the two elements together. This is what came of it. To me it represents how really beautiful women that have horrible attitudes make them unattractive. atleast to me anyway.

Monsters of Art Show at the Garage

The Garage in St. Pete Florida was a great place to have an art show. I had alot of fun. Here are some pictures to prove it. these are pics of me with my paintings, me with other costume goers and friends, some drunken silliness pics and the band that played which was Zombie Dragstrip Hookers along with some hot zombie dancers!!! Don't ask what my costume is supposed to be because I don't really know. It's pieces of a bunch of stuff and its not really what it was meant to be. I had a mask as well but it was way to hot and I couldn't talk to anyone so I took it off. You will have to toon in to the next post to see the Halloween costume in all its glory.

Screamfest 2008

I had so much fun and next year i will most likely get a booth again. here is an assorted amount of pics taken at the show of me and celebrities and guests with cool costumes and such. if you have any questions on who someone is let me know and i will answer.

Alien producing insane sounds with his out of this world technology.

DJ's Alien and Ueberschall were ripping it up so fast that they were in and out of focus. Must be fun to travel in and out of dimensions on waves of musical energy.
