Earlier this morning I had breakfast with European Royalty and all I can say is that the food was great and the atmosphere was a trip. I felt like I was eating in a French Villa and the food was so damn good I had to hold back from eating like a wild boar. To be honest, if I knew that the food was going to be that damn good I might have come prepared and lined my pockets with sandwich bags so I could stash a few away for later. LOL.

After breakfast it was back to business and today actually marks the fifth consecutive day that we’ve shot – and yes we even shot on Thanksgiving day.

Only Jay Leno and a few other lucky individuals own a motorcycle like this and you can see who owns it and what he does for a living in an upcoming issue. As for now it’s off to another shoot and then time to head back home to write stories and edit photos. Again…I’m only as good as those I surround myself with and all I can say is that I’ve got a good team of people that are always down to put in work. Thanks for all the help as well as all the offers.

If you’re looking to get the illest micro tattoos then look no further than Ben Grillo. He’s a master at his craft and the owner of the magic hand responsible for inking some of the world’s smallest and most detailed pieces. This tattoo here was done on our photographer, OSOK (One Shot One Kill), and he had this camera tattooed on his wrist to stay in touch with his roots while also commemorating the first camera that he learned to shoot with.

C’mon now…them me he ain’t the man!

His work speaks for itself so when you’re ready you already know who to hit up.

Too many deadlines. Too many photoshoots. Too many projects…..so I’m shuttin’ down for the next few days so I can concentrate.  The phones are off , the blog wont be updated and I’ve got a ton of ground to cover, stories to write while also prepping for some big shoots goin’ down tomorrow and Monday. In the meantime I’ll have a few random posts going up but nothing major. Hope everyone’s enjoying their long weekend.

A few random flicks from a shoot done years back.

It’s pretty common knowledge that most lowrider owners never drive their shit on the street (at least not just for fun) so in an effort to prove otherwise we took out the homie Joe’s Impala (which is called Hustler ’63) to Hollywood, CA. As a member of Los Angeles Car Club, Joe’s known in the industry as the plaque maker/ laser man/ the owner of Hustler ’63 and soon he’s got a new car busting out soon so be on the lookout. (more…)

It’s Black Friday and the day that’s suppose to kick off the the busiest shopping season of the year (Christmas…if you couldn’t already figure that out) but I’ve never been able to understand why camping out overnight is worth the savings of $20 to $30? Then again…..I’ve heard of some great deals out there but waiting (or waking up) at the butt-crack of down just doesn’t sound appealing to me and I’m cool on the crazed shoppers and mob mentality. But for those of you that are down to do the deed…..enjoy the savings and I hope you stayed warm! Here’s a few facts about “Black Friday”….

• “Black Friday” got it’s name back in 1966
• The term originated in Philadelphia in reference to the heavy traffic of that day.
• It is considered the busiest shopping day by media, but it only reached the number one position in 2003 and 2005. From ’93 through 2001 it was only the 5th to 10th busiest day
