Lima

By Joshy D.

Got into Lima on the late night. Was stoked to see that Peru is still down with the compact stereo systems.

The drive from the airport to the hotel took an hour.

At most intersections there were street performers. I watched this kid play with fire for a little bit.

Woke up here.

Took a look outside.

And saw these perverts staring at me.

Ate this crazy looking thing. Definitely did not taste like it looks.

Now I’m ready for the day. What up Peru!

REBEL8 HQ

By Mike Giant

Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. I’m at REBEL8 HQ right now, holding down Joshy’s desk while he’s away.

He’s been away for a while. That’s why he hasn’t been blogging. I see that he has been adding flics to the REBEL8 Tumblr though. And have you seen my Tumblr? I’m addicted.

Hope everyone has a great week! I’ll be busy drawing, as usual!

Thanks

By Mike Giant

I just wanted to send my thanks to all the folks that stopped by my opening at PPC last weekend. It was a great evening!

Since then it’s been a lot of smoking and drawing around here. Not much else, which is just fine with me.

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!

12 Little Tattoos

By Mike Giant

I got 12 little tattoos from my friend Juan Puente yesterday.

Cash money and the mark of a 33rd degree Freemason.

The old Lowrider magazine logo and the Mac logo.

In honor of some of teachers: a Wu-Tang and a KRS-One.

And I can’t forget Jeru the Damaja and the Dead Kennedys. I sure learned a lot from them as well.

I got a crying lady’s eye to remind me of an old girlfriend. I broke her heart. And I got “Carron” in honor of my little sister.

I also got the name of my high school drafting teacher tattooed on me. He was the best teacher I ever had. Rest in peace, Mr. Shepherd.

And I finally got the fucking Black Flag bars. Finally.

Hope to see you at my show tomorrow at PPC!

Flo Rida

By Dougernaut

I’ve been out in Florida for a minute working on a new music project with Rob Barrett from Cannibal Corpse and Steve Asheim from Deicide. I gotta say, it feels amazing to be playing music again.

While I was out there I went and saw Shadows Fall. Got to catch up with my old friend Brian.

The last day I was in Tampa I got to check out the Dean Guitar factory. Growing up Pantera was my favorite band in the world. Dimebag was hands down the guitar player that made me want to learn how to play, and be in a band. It was pretty amazing to check out where they made all of his guitars.

Finally a guitar big enough for me.

Keep it metal! \m/

Knucks

By Mike Giant

When I was in Toronto I did a shoot with Nick Simhoni. I like this shot in particular.
