interior

Ya-ya, I know to most people it's kinda boring but I figure it's like a monthly car update. Lot's has happened to the Satellite in the last month but not to many photos.
Basically in a nut shell I got my pal Scott Mugford of Blue Collar Customs Sacramento on board to help with my motor. Under Scott's guidance we dropped the virgin block off at racing legend Rex Hutchison of Rex Hutchison's Racing Engines where Rex and his team went to work on it. Scott is now in the process of building it, more on that later. Wile that part of the car is getting it's attention I've been hard at work in my garage installing my rebuilt everything, dash, steering column, heater box and upholstery. Not to mention the grill and bumpers, she's staring to look like a car again.

I first saw this commercial a few years back when it was passed around by a friend.
The fine folks at Crown Cycles have my shruneknHead crate bike in production. Not sure when it will be out (These things take time!) but I'll post the prototypes here soon.

Monsters 10 12 '08

You know what, I though about it and I don't really feel like doing monster of the week cause I'm kinda lazy this week. So I'm just going to post what ever junk up here I feel like. Maybe I'll post a monster or some shit next week, maybe, we'll see how I feel K? I'm also thinking of buying a He Man play set on E bay. I know when it comes in the mail I'll be stoked and then I'll be like "Where the fuck am I going to put this shit" and then I'll make a spot and I'll stare at it for a long time and make stupid voices into the snake mountain microphone like I did when I was a kid and then I'll get board of it but it will still look cool on my shelf. Can't wait to get it.

Friend profile:Trevor Borrens
Trev is a working artist that hails from Ottawa Canada.
He plays drums like Animal from the Muppets and has a lump on his head he refused to get removed. I first met Trevor in grade school when I got sent to the principals office. He was also in shit and waiting to see the principal.
We've been friends ever since.

Q: What is your favorite He-man villain and why?
Trevor: Was there ever a movie or a video game or something where He-Man and Skeletor and all of them beat the shit out of Lion-O and those other wankers from the thunder cats? I think I remember that, or maybe it was just from me playing when I was a kid. Ether way, I love that fucking movie/video game. I think a couple of the parts that made up Voltron were in it too.
I hate to choose the obvious but, my favorite He-Man villain was always Skeletor. His face is a fucking skull! It is pretty hard to compete with that.The only bad thing you could say about the guy is that maybe his loincloth is a little to revealing.
Q: Just why?
T: Infinite monkeys typing on infinite keyboards.
Q: What do you hate?
T: Large groups of people, and running out of pot
Q: What do you like?
T: Pot
Q: What do you drive?
T: I don't

van o the week "covered wagon"

Great paint.

ugly earwig baby by trev

Another great new creation from Trev.
Contact him about his art at http://www.myspace.com/trevorborrens

scared stiff

I adore this artwork.
The games is fun too but not as cool at Elvira and the party monsters.

some old shit

Here is some old art I said I would post. All scanned, no filters, as is. These things used to take a wile, yup. It's all pencil/blue pen and Micron ink pens on 8 1/2 11 typewriter paper or now called printer paper. The second one, the Frankenstein I remember doing lightning fast in Montreal wile waiting for a friend to show up before we hit the bars. The 66sick just fit on the page and was one of the last ones in this format, it took a few days but there is nothing I don't like about it. The roughest is the tiki "two lane blacktop car. I did that one for producer Bob Rock. Look at how it's all chopped together on 3 pieces of paper. You would never know it if you saw the finished logo. I don't know why I'm posting this stuff, I guess it's cool to look back on it a little. Even though it's primitive as fuck, I still dig it. It's also a reminder to me, to not be so stubborn about tying new techniques. I didn't want to change my format cause it worked so well for me and I felt it was "my thing" boy I'm glad I use a brush now.
Thanks for reading/looking.

PS
Oh, I should mention that my styles and techniques have been totally forged from ignorance along with the inspiration and motivation to not work in at another Arbys, Pizza Hut (Fuck you Pizza hut Bells corners Ottawa!) or KFC ever again, even tho I liked the free food and stupid uniforms. Art school? Hell I never went to high school!

monster of the week (tor johnson)

Tor Johnson Made a great monster. I don't know what else to say?

van o the week "hornet"

art

No point, just a Gremmie sketch and ink in the raw, no filters or clean up.
Did it and liked it that way. I've become obsessed with clean art and sometimes it's nice to leave the pencil lines in and do a quick ruff brush job. I'll post some of my older work this week.
I used to do everything on 8 1/2 by 11 type paper that was dirty yet very clean considering the tools I was using. I think years of raw materials helped mold my black line into what it is today. (what ever that is. better?)
