Space Monkey


space Monkey, Actually a juvenile Chimpanzee.

The first manned mission to Mars was a failure. The landing crew is feared dead or in need of a rescue.....

The second mission to Mars was by trained Chimpanzees....

It was discovered in the late 1940's that Chimpanzees can indure higher G's. Thus a 1 year trip to Mars could be done with simians at high G trust in half the time. Thus a crew of simians was sent.
These test where decerened from rocket sled experiements and high enertia blunt force test conducted by the U.S.A.F in the early 1950's. The USAF and NASA both launched Chimpanzee's into low earth orbit, including dogs and monkeys.

Closeup of actual larger ink with more going on.

Rising Sun Kamikaze Flying Eye



Flying eyes are only custom order and for HWAP. This one was for Dxtr. Silkscreened red sunburst, then masked out, airbrushed yellow and orange side rails. Airbrushed eye detail, then hand painted. SOF and HWAP always get the hook ups and always a pleasure to deal with CIGS. This was all done on a white full dip 30"x10.5" quality board and is a mixture of 3 disciplines in various amounts. Much akin to painting a custom car, then silkscreening it and then doing a brush painting.

Custom work takes time.

4th of July mat print sale


These are prints on mat heavyweight paper. New paper, nice colors and very much the feel and look of offset with silkscreen colors. There's several prints left of each image. Once gone they are gone. These are just an experiment.

Mizz Melt Away(a working title)


Something I am working on and has yet to have the color cut. The idea, maybe cliche comes from some old punk album in the 80's(forgot the name of the band) that had this pullout showing a grizzly photo of a nun killed by El Salvadorian secret police that had acid poured on her face. One of the lyrics was "Grab a gun, kill a nun lets got to El Salvador."

Anyone knows the album, the song will win a free deck.

The Last Flying Eye



Featured in several magazines world wide as of recent and a nice send up to the Flying Eye series now that it's over. Pretty board and a pleasure to make. Limited to 2 boards in this color ever. One is still avaliable. Hit me up for more pictures if needed.

A6M1 "Zero" plane print -Exlcusive-



A6M1 Zero plane prints. These are the rarest of the rare. Like the 9MM print it's an exclusive piece that was only made in 10 white and 1o green. If you missed these your going to have to wait for the next plane release. I only make small batches of prints and the reason why is that my art isn't for everyone and is intended for an intimate set of collectors and enthusiasts.
