I’m not quitting art. I’m not quitting tattooing.

Those things have been a huge part of my life, and they always will be. After more than 25 years of creating, building businesses, and making a living with my hands and imagination, I’m ready to expand into something new.

30 random seconds of a 25-year art career.

I’ve never had a job except making stuff, building things and somehow turned it into a life. Illustration, film, galleries, tattooing, design—different mediums, always obsession.

25 years of taking chances, failing, learning, starting over, and refusing to stop

So bad I talked to AI to make the description. Your content doesn’t need to be good. It needs to EXIST.

Make the poor video. Post awkward stuff. Say the thing. Hit publish.

Nobody gets good at creating content by thinking about creating content.

And when you see somebody actually putting themselves out there—ENGAGE.

Comment. Like it. Share it. Disagree. Start a conversation.

Stop being a spectator.

Social media works better when we’re actually SOCIAL.

Create badly until you create well.

Just freaking post it. Nobody really cares

Twenty years ago I was flying to New York secretly to work in TV and the Art world while apprenticing at a tattoo shop in Tucson. I never told anyone at the shop. I didn’t want them to know, honestly I felt like they wouldn’t believe me. Didn’t say anything to people in New York either. I just wanted to be a tat man. It worked out . The cameras and gallery shows faded but still occasionally appear like a wild dog looking for s meal. Looking back that was weird of me to be so secretive. Luck was on my side because being weird in the art world and tattooing is just fine.
