A highly recommended book for Pirate Fans!!!

The Pirate Hunter: The True Story of Captain Kidd by Richard Zacks

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Mr. Zacks wrote this so well, I felt like I was there. The historical research he did on this was spot on! I could smell the smells of the wretched streets in old England. I could not put this book down and you won't be able to either!

Quala 2010 Holiday Desktop - Widescreen

This year’s Holiday desktop features Quala himself, before the takeover of course. I don’t know exactly how he stays warm, but I assure you he is doing just fine. That isn’t australia either, I think this snapshot was taken somewhere near Big Bear in 2009.

You can click on the image above, then right click to "save image as..."

Happy Xmas and Merry New Year!

Pancho Villa Mural - Pancho Villa Farmers Market - El Cajon Blvd & 805 FWY

This mural can be seen at Pancho Villa Farmers Market - 3245 El Cajon Blvd., check out the piece, and don't forget to stock up on awesome meat and vegetable specials!! On top of that, a tortilla factory is right inside.

This mural took about 2 weeks to do, after doing some research on Pancho Villa, Las Soldaderas, and Adelita, I combined it all into one mural. I sort of guessed at the coloring since every photo i found was in B&W or Sepieatoned, I wanted vivid.
Thank you to all the shoppers that gave so many nice comments during the creation of this piece!

AFTERCON 2010 Art Show and Benefit Auction in Shel’s Honor

Tribal Series Continues and then some...

This one was painted during the "Art on Adams Street Fair", as well as the purple one that sold that day...

Two of these were painted live at The Office Bar

This Tribal piece was painted live at the grand opening of 57 Degrees Wine Bar.

This is an Island inspired piece painted for my friend and neighbor Kimo, while drinking and eating BBQ in the back yard of course!

This Koi piece was painted live at the Beer & Sake festival 2010, an auction quickly kicked off, before I could even get the paper out for the silent auction, it sold.

This Frida Kahlo piece was painted on Cinco De Mayo, she was an inspiration for sure!

This tribal piece is currently available at Coffee & Art - 777 6th Avenue Downtown SD
