Fellow DEADBEAT Jime Litwalk is over in Japan tattooing and blastin out some FUN airbrusshed shirts. He sent me these pics this morning, so I thought I'd share them here. Great taattoos, ***y One Shot pin up chicks and now these killer shirts...if we weren't brothers I'd hunt him down and break his fingers.

Unkl Ian has been BUSY! cool. By the way...this was posted in a prevvious Art Show, but I just got it in the mail and wanted to show it off. Tingler painted it...pics DO NOT do it justice! Tingler's work is worth much more than the little bit he charges! Thanks man...Babs was stoked too! It's gonna get prime placement in the tiki room.
Last Night I layed some lines on my friends motorcycle before we went to the bike cruise, just something simple on the headlight, its the first striping i have done in a few months so I am happy with how it turned out.
just got my new special edition, limited production, "pizza boy" dagger from keefer and i figgered i'd put it thru the paces.... that's all folks...
been usein it for years,reducein it with 311 reducer,,i just recently broke down and got there u-100 reducer makes all the diffrence in the world the way it flows and it will dry a little slower.but still quick dryin.
I haven't posted anything in a while... been in a creative slump. But I've been inspired by a new brush which is pulling me out of it.
roadster was ready to load so i finally painted again for the first time in about 6 months...not perfect but came out alright...i hope its dry for tomorrow zach
Good stuff everyone very inspiring... especially leadsleadolds stuff...awesome! I may have something new for next week, just finishing off some request P.O.T.A. piece for a friend and finishing my girlfriends painting as well this week which you've already seen. keep it up guys... it's all amazing stuff Paso next weekend... can't wait! CAB
Thank you Dan, Johnny & Kali... coming from you guys, it means a lot (like I might be doing something right). Not holding out... just been burned out. But I'm feeling the desire again.
.....IAN.......knock it off! You're scarin' me. With the "voices in your head" and the eyeball watching you paint, how do you get anything done?? REALLY cool stuff..........
Steel pheonix I like that one you did youv'e been to quiet latley. Thanks for the compliment Cab I'll be looking forward to your next peice. I like your choice of colors you use in your paintings.
got about 40 minutes into this before the director/dean? / of the union told me i didnt have the correct paper work to do that, i didnt have to get rid of it but i had to stop. oh well, killed some time, its maybe 10/12 feet tall tim ****, to big, ill cut one down. anybody want to shrink two pix for me?
the pix cut off some of the sides but you get the idea, the bottom of the wings kind of split and scroll
Yeah I know it's Saturday but I spent all day working on the Safari trying to get it ready to drive to a show.Never did make the show.Woke up this morning and I could barely move my back hurt so much. Anyway I've been doing a bunch of plates up for Billetproof and such so I thought I'd share a couple.
Barnett, Glad the Tiki made it there in one piece! Glad you like it too! ....man, those shirts by Jime are KEWL... Here's my latest.
Heya Tinkley.... Man..your attention to detail is outstanding! There is more going on with those front wheels than in my entire last shirt... No kidding - you are a tough one to beat....
