Let’s Roll!!!

Haven’t posted in a while. Happy New Year everyone. I’ve been so busy at work, making toys, die-cast, yeah it’s a pretty rad job, but shiiiit, keeps me busy. I want to get back to posting and creating art just for the hell of it. I do some freelance, but don’t always post it up, by the time it’s finished and it’s OK to post, I’m already on to the next thing and the next thing. haha. Story of my life. So things that have happened, I lost my older brother in November, he was a good dude, had a troubled life and made some bad decisions, but I loved him and he will be deeply missed. I’m working on a big project at work, can’t say what yet, but it’s going to be awesome. Also working on a Rat Fink painting for Vintage Torque Fest. Looking forward to being creative and letting loose. Gangsterbilly is still going, but I am trying to move the old inventory (it’s all on clearance right now, go cop you some! http://www.gangsterbilly.com) so I can design and make room for some new stuff . I have a new rig at home and ready to do some new exciting stuff, update my site finally and sketch, sketch, sketch. So with that said,  Let’s Roll!

Here’s a video for the New Year, Yelawolf and Kid Rock “Let’s Roll”

Sometimes The Stars

WOW!!!! I just realized I haven’t blogged for a long time! My birthday? sheeesh. Anyways, I was looking for some design inspiration tonight and came across this awesome video from The Audreys. Beautiful!!! I’ll be going to Hong Kong again soon, maybe this time I’ll actually post my pictures up! SLACKER!!! haha, You guys gotta understand, I’m a busy guy. Working on some great things at Maisto, involving Marvel, Ferrari, R/C cars, 2012 is going to be more awesome than 2011!!! Just wait! Also got some cool things cooking with Wahoo’s, RareInk (I’ll just say…. Ice Cube!), and a tee for the Road Devil’s Devil’s Brigade! Enjoy this bitchin video, I think I will watch it over and over tonight!

“Sometimes the Stars” is a gorgeous new song from Adelaide, Australia band The Audreys, taken from their 2010 album of the same name. The accompanying short animated film, produced by Luke Jurevicius and directed by Ari Gibson & Jason Pamment, is about a lost girl’s journey through a surreal landscape, and her yearning to make a connection in this distant yet strangely familiar world.

35 and Still Alive!

well…sort of. My Zombie heart is still kickin for sure! Hope everyone had a Happy and Safe Halloween by the way! The Zombies were walking the realm of the living once again.  We had a great weekend with the kids, carving pumpkins, trick-or-treating and watching scary movies! Well, about a week ago I celebrated my 35th Birthday with some of my close friends and family. It was great! It is kind of creepy though, I’m not gonna lie, reaching an age that my father didn’t make it to (he passed away when he was 34) and realizing there is so much more life in me to live! I don’t plan on quitting or giving up any time soon! I have way too much to live for.


Which one doesn’t match? We are starting a new rockabilly boy band… What’ya think? “Fast Eddie and The Munsters?” Yeah, maybe not. My primo Matt, Castro, Kev, and Carlos!


Some of my familia, my Lil bro Tony, Primo Matt, Lil Sis Marie, and ME.


Me and Mamas were the champs of the Beer Pong table… then with a distraction from the “5-O”, we lost the belts in a clutch last minute shot. Damn you (insert city name here) PD, Damn you!!!!


I scored some cool presents, a nice bottle of Sailor Jerry Rum, Some Jack and Coke in an awesome basket, Some gift cards to my favorite spot, a ticket to my favorite band Godsmack’s concert (Thanks Primo!!!) that I had to give up unfortunately cause I’ll be out of town on business (BOO!), SONS OF ANARCHY season 2 on BLU-RAY (FTW!), and a badass skate deck designed and signed by my homie LOS III.

Thanks to everyone who came out and for all the awesome birthday wishes I received via text and facebook, voicemails. You all kick arse! My friends and familia are who make me the man I am and I appreciate every one of you!
