I’ve been Pretty busy the last couple of months. Working on large and small projects. Im almost done with Two separate back pieces. I have a handful of sittings on Rich, who I’m tattooing a straight on view of a black and grey dragon. Then there is Nick . I started with a cover up of a wizard on Nick’s right shoulder then he wanted to go full back piece. Im stoked! One or two more sittings on this one and we are finished. I have to get photos of various tattoos from this year. So I will post them asap. Thanks to my brother Dave at Rivernet Computers for the much improved website.

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.

TOP SOIL!
The great new project that I will be spending time on these days.
Mike Quinn, the lyrical master, from Violent Society fame, shreds the acoustic guitar while rambles of the rise and fall of humanity.
My block neighbor, Jeff Tareila completes the back line with the most purdy uprite bass on 3rd st.
The first day went well. Working on five songs that I was still learning was quite hard but seemed to track good. My head was pounding with each bass drum kick as my cold had not left my body.
Day two was much better! We seemed to kick it right away. Recording 4 more songs. The day just passed without any serious bumps. Top Soil is a challenge for me because, Jeff and Mike took my cymbals away and just left me the kick snare and brushes. But I dig it!
I look forward to finishing tracking next week and moving on to vocals. I will have a stronger backing vocal role in this group.
Working at the shop has been difficult with this nasty head cold. Just got to push through it.
