More “Skullz”

Here’s a preview of a personal piece that I am currently working on called “The Bone Yard“. The scene will be of an NBA players skeleton rulin’ the court in hell.

Also, after viewing the “BetterThanHuman” blog I came across a vector piece that inspired me. It looked like a fun illustration so I put my own personal spin on it and this is what came about. It took 1 1/2 hrs to complete. Thanks Tomiss for the inspiration! – S

Trip to the Black Hills, SD

It was a short but good trip. My good friend Joel – (a.k.a. MechaHateChimp) tagged along for the ride. It’s always fun showing people the Black Hills for the first time.

The Sturgis Bike Rally was a blast as always. Beautiful bikes, lovely ladies, hardcore bikers, tattoos, leather and Rock-n Roll… Sounds like fun to me! The only part that sucked was this tired-ass airbrush vendor that yelled at us for taking pictures of his tent. Ironically the images that were hanging in his tent are the exact same images that he has posted on his website for all to see. He even yelled at us when we were taking pics of the vendor next to him. I don’t know why he was so upset, there were thousands of people taking pictures of everything.

Anyway, as we headed up to Mt. Rushmore we stopped off at Bear Country to take some pics. The animals are always awesome! I was glad to see they finally built a nice enclosure for the grizzlies. After that we finally made our way up to Mt. Rushmore for some more photo ops. Being from the Black Hills I’ve seen the faces on the hillside many times but, in the last few years they have finished an amphitheater and hiking trail at the base of the hill. This I had never seen. I have to say it was quite refreshing to see it from a different view for once. The trail takes about 30 minutes to get threw and is beautiful the entire way!

Thanks to the folks for putting up with us all weekend and showing us a good time. I never get tired of going back home! – S
