The Nepal Tattoo Convention was a success. Thanks to Mohan Gurung and Bijay Shrestha for putting on a great show.
Bryan and I stayed busy the whole time. Nicole worked the floor and set up appointments for us throughout the day. She was a huge help. We got to tattoo some of the locals, as well as tourists from all over. I did mostly small tattoos the whole weekend. It’s very difficult to tattoo here. It’s like tattooing in a kitchen as the power goes on and off. But we managed to pump out some cool stuff.
My favorite from the weekend was on the last day. I hand drew a nice mehndi style hand piece on Kelly from Australia. You had to freehand of hand trace stencils for everything because there was no thermo fax machine like at most conventions. It’s a challenge, but it usually makes a tattoo better when you draw it right on the skin.
Our tattoo gear is all packed up and we are ready to see the sights.
Namaste

Stoked to start a dragon sleeve on Juan. Drawn on with makers. I’m going to add the scales and background next session.

Last weekend was huge for me. On Thursday, I had my opening at The End Is Near in Brooklyn. My three paintings looked great next to Norbert and Anna’s work. All of the paintings are displayed in the front room of the gallery/shop while a summer bbq occurred on the back patio. There was a great crowd and a lot of good friends there. Thanks to everyone who came out! The show will continue to be up for about a month, so if you’re in Park Slope, definitely check it out.
Friday night was another art event but for a very different cause. Organized by the Gasket Goons, the Charity Art Show was a huge success. The show had work by over 20 artists, showcased salon-style in the Phillipsburg garage space. The work was sold off silent-auction style and raised over 6,000 dollars for the family of the late Army Sgt. Sean M. Durkin. Accompanying the auction was a killer party with music, drinks, a hot dog truck and tons of cars-not to mention tons of people.
Saturday Top Soil had a show at The National Hotel’s first annual National Palooza. It was super hot out but people still came out and danced. We’ve been playing a bunch of new songs that are going to be on the new album we’ve been recording. Check out some images from the weekend’s activities!

So the new place has been open for about six months now and everything is going great. I’ve been doing a ton of tattooing as well as painting and illustration. I recently designed the album cover for the band Just Surrender. My band Top Soil has been playing a bunch, too. We started recording our second album on Monday at Trax East and I’m really excited about the project. Check out a video of us playing live here. Another new development is the opening of my brothers Jim and Dave’s new computer repair and internet cafe, River Net. They set up shop in the same building as my studio, so check it out! We’re in the brick building next to the Bridge Cafe in Frenchtown.
