REBEL8

I’m sure you have all heard by now that the R8 x Pabst party for the Keep a Breast foundation was a huge success. Raising money, pinball and drinking beers, thats what’s up.

Thanks to everyone that came out to support and helped raise money ($10K!). Let’s keep a breast, in fact, let’s keep two!

Mike was doing his thing. P.S., today is Mr. Giant’s birthday. Love you long time.

And people loved it. I see you!

Crackin’!

That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball.

He’s a pinball wizard there has to be a twist.
A pinball wizard, got such a supple wrist!

The original gangsta, my pops. Yes he was wearing yellow. Mellow yellow.

All the ladies in the house say…..

Yesterday I found out that my Grandmother in Italy passed away. She would have been 92 this week. Ti amo Nonna Im pensando a voi.

Ciao for now.

I’ll be showing some new drawings in a bunch of group shows that open over the next few weeks.

I have a piece in the “Playboy Redux” show that opens this Friday August 27th at Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago.

Then on September 2nd I’ll be showing some new drawings in the “Everyday”  group show at 111 Minna Gallery here in San Francisco.

On Friday September 10th, I’m showing more new drawings at the Fecal Face 10 Year Anniversary show at The Luggage Store in SF.

The same night I’ll have some drawings hanging in the “Blood Money” show at Corey Miller’s Timeless Art Gallery in Upland, Califas.

And on September 11th I’m showing some drawings at The Pretty Pretty Collective at 3290 22nd St here in SF.

I will be in attendance at all the SF shows.  Hope to see you out there!

Last week was my bestie Annie’s birthday.

We rented bikes and hit up the wineries. Dee you’re a pouring pro. By the second stop I tightened my helmet. Me was tipsy. Sweet Berry Wine!

This photo by Miss Veronica pretty much sums it up. WWOW! (Wild Women On Wine).

Birthday oysters and even more wine. Hey! Wine not?

We got back to the city and headed down to Ocean Beach for a cleansing witchual and a goodbye bonfire to our Ladywere Rachel. Dark angels and vagabonds have nothing on us. We were burning nasties.

Checked out the Indie Mart in Alamo Square. I’ve lived here almost my entire life and I still cannot resist to sing this EVERY time. ”What ever happend to predictability? The milk man, the paper boy, evening T.V.”

And then it happened, in clear day light ……Aaahoooooooooooo!

“Hail, hail, hail, great Wolf Spirit, hail.
A boon I ask thee, mighty shade,
Within this circle I have made.
Make me a werewolf strong and bold,
The terror alike of young and old.”

For even more were love check out my girls blog were-you-is.blogspot.com.

Ciao for now!

Check out the latest feature I put up: some real nice photos of the REBEL8 x KROQ Van. I first saw this van at our Lost Angels event and was blown away. If you see it driving around, honk your horn and ask for stickers. Big up to the KROQ crew! Picture me rollin’.

Can somebody tell me what happened last night?

First I went to the Hemlock to have a beer or two after work and ended up drinking these.

Before I knew it I was at a random house party in a sombrero and mustache! What the fuck?!

Things were a little blurry after this. I know my homie Jason threw a whole shot of Jameson in my eyeball and I smashed him in the face with the Yellow Pages. My girl told me she came home and found me passed out and asked me how my night was and I replied with “For here or to go?” Good times!

For my day to day stupidity follow me on Twitter.

LA part 2. We hit the craziness in Venice. The homie Cavan has a spot right on the beach. Pizza, puppies, whistles and wizards.

Expelliarmus! Yup, I read the Potter books.

Game of checkers. Tequilla vs. Sunkist. Sunkist always wins.

What, am I not turtley enough for your turtle club? I hope the next time I visit this little guy has a new tank.

Be careful if you live with Cavan and leave for the weekend. Young Dylon got a pretty in pink room makeover. Pure Genius. Peep the curtains.

Time to get back to Frisco.

The the, the Rock.

Stopped by to say what’s up to Joshy and Mike. Josh you don’t mean that.

Hit up the Farmers Market at the Ferry Building. Too much grumpy lettuce. Go ahead, Urbandictionary that. Here, you lazy bitch.

Bitches brunch. The Rider DIY crew.

Fantastical.

Gotta finish it off with my main man Bernie. I didn’t realize they were working on the third movie in SF (Weekend At Bernie’s 3: Fisherman’s Wharf).

Ciao for now.

Damn I am feeling this new website. I am so back on that blog tip it ain’t funny. Just what I needed! Hope you all feel the same way.

A couple of weeks ago I sold my scooter. I bought it brand new back in ‘02.

Took it from 0 to 10,409 miles. Frisco only. That’s some shit.

Layed this thing down a few times, but most of the damage was from parking between cars.

If you need a scooter in SF, holler at Barry. The number is below.

Here is a little sneak peak of the Dickies book coming out. Mike did the cover for it. The original shown below was Sharpied on your standard Dickies material. You haven’t bought our REBEL8 x Dickies!?

And every single R8LA poster we produced, Mike signed. You can get one here.

Get at me on Twitter. Have a wonderful rest of your day. Until tomorrow.

Lately I’ve been spending some time at Skull and Sword Tattoo here in SF.  Earlier this month I was hanging out with my buddy Derick while he got tattoo’d by my old friend Henry Lewis.

I was back in the shop again last week visiting my friend JK5 who was in town from NYC.  On Sunday we were able to hook each other up with some ink in honor of our friendship.  I put “GIANT” and “SF” on his leg.

Then my homie put a “JK5″ on the inside of my wrist.

Dude is a fuckin’ magician!

Hope you like the new site!  I’m loving it.  Big up to my fellow bloggers Joshy and Dougernaut, and a special shout to Vitti for setting off the Lady 8ers blog!  We’re just getting warmed up y’all…
