Such an awesome website.
CPM again for the win on showing me this.
SOOOOO FUNNY!!!

It's a guy who usually goes by the name Mike and responds to Craigslist adds and acts like such a weiner. Check it out! It's totally been ruining my work flow.

Thanx for the video Paul!

How am I not a thousand pounds?

HORSEGLUTON — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 07:00:00 GMT

I just got back from Philly and it was a blast. It has definitely been my busiest past couple months and it was a vacation well needed even though it was shorter than I was hoping for. I have a ton of pics that I'm just gonna show with minimal explanations. Fair warning, you will get hungry.

Heaven.

Perry has some serious dedication to Pee Wee's Playhouse. Not only is it awesome to have this as a tattoo but it's also done really well.

Perry is also the singer of Lighten Up and an up and coming illustrator/designer. His hair is nuts right now too, looks like a Lego hair helmet. He rules.

More food!

Great ice cream parlor.

It had such a great vintage feel to it.
Even the candy selection was right on. Why can't they package things like this anymore!?

Sick Of It All show at the Church in Philly was super rad. I think they might be the tightest band I've ever seen. It was also a treat seeing them in a fairly small place.

Upstairs Chapel

Craig Ahead from SOIA beating up Colin.

Breakfast! Specially made by Heather, the queen of homemade food madness!

This is the CPM breakfast extravaganza. I felt pregnant after eating this. PREGNANT! PREGNANT GOD DAMMIT!!!

Hot shit gave me the hot shits

Finish it off with cake!

Empty plate make happy boy.

They even had one of my art pieces up at their house. Flattered

Amazing Cadillac in the mall parking lot

Dude looking good playing guitar. He lost a bunch of weight from riding bikes. I'm sure we gained a bunch back from the food olympics that just occured.

I also fell down the stairs in to the basement. It was probably the funniest thing I've ever done. My legs felt like rubber from riding almost 25 miles on the bike earlier and I tried walking down their carpeted stairs and slipped. All you could hear was thud thud thud thud thud OH MY GOD! when I landed. My shorts were also jacked all the way my thighs. Let's just say the rest of the guys peed and puked from laughing so hard. I'm a tard.

And to finish it off, you guessed it. FOOD!!!!

see more Lolcats and funny pictures

Thanx so much to Colin and Heather for treating me like a King. Hope I didn't stink up their house too bad.

I've got No Friends

HORSEFRIENDS — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 07:00:00 GMT

I usually don't plug too much band stuff but I thought this was pretty cool because I would wear this shit if I wasn't in the band. Hell, I'll wear it anyways.

Shirt Killer released two shirts by No Friends.
One that I designed

And one that Ryan Patterson of COLISEUM (one of my most favorite modern hardcore bands) designed. So rad

World's worst street fight

FIGHTBITES — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 07:00:00 GMT

My buddy CPM from None More Black sent me this video a couple of days ago and I've been studying it for a future street confrontation.

Here are a few things that I've noticed/examined while watching this informative video.

- always wear proper up to date clothing while battling in the streets to not be embarrassed incase of a loss.

- 0:09 wave hands erractically in hopes of confusing my opponent right before my vicious roundhouse appears out of nowhere.

- 0:10 lift leg a little higher when unleashing the swiveling kick of doom

- 0:17 don't put my finger up trying to pause the confrontation so I can search for some dumb shit that fell out of my pocket. You could possibly get booted in the ear.

- 0:34 always use the "super punch" as an option to destroying your attackers chest in to an oblivion. Beware though, sometimes the dual fisted punch may not reach and leave you vulnerable.

- 0:42 Buddy wearing denim jacket should never butt in and be escorted violenty by one of the camera men from the movie Wayne's World.

- and last but not least just walk away bro, walk away and pretend nothing ever happened.

Porchlight coffee

HORSELIGHTCOFFEE — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 07:00:00 GMT

My buddy Zack from Seattle just opened up his coffee shop called Porchlight Coffee and it looks like a really nice coffee shop. I got to do the logo for his shop and it's cool to see it printed it on coffee cups. That's a new one. So if you're in the area go out and support while enjoying your cup o' joe.

Good luck with the new venture Zack!

Cave boy

WHITEBITES — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 07:00:00 GMT

I've been slaving away at the drawing board and I'm starting to make some decent progress. Hope it continues!

The new Fest 8 logo is up on their website and I get to see Back To The Future tonight at a park in Orlando! I'm soooo pumped for this. Classic Movie.

Justice is served.

PAULBITES — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 07:00:00 GMT

Thanx so much to Paul from None More Black and Black Anvil for seriously making my day worth it with these videos.

This might be one of my busiest weeks so don't expect too much activity on the blog. I have a lot of cool stuff coming up between the AXE and Horsebites stuff, some stuff I have to keep super on the down low. Derek and I are wrapping a ton of work for the Less Than Jake tour coming up. Some not so secret stuff that I've been working on is the new Polar Bear Club record, Heartsounds record, Astoria shirt, Glamour Kills and some sweet stuff for The Caustic Collection. All due this week!

Arachnaphobia

HORSEWIDOW — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 07:00:00 GMT

A couple nights ago I was chilling on the porch with my roomates and my annoying neighbor drove by on his motorcycle and I regrettably gave him the "what's up head nod with a slight hand wave". I immediately hated myself for it and after my roommate yelled at me for doing so I fled to the carport and pretended to be working on stuff by banging my keys on random metal objects.

As I was bullshitting my way around I noticed a black spider sitting on the ledge. It happened to crawl up on it's web and I could see under it's abdomen and I noticed it had a red hourglass mark, it was a fucking black widow! I never see these out and about. It was protecting 3 pods full of eggs. So gnarly looking. I told the rest of my roommates to check it out and they freaked out too so we brought out the big guns. Wasp spray and roach spray dual combo. After Ben hosed down the eight legged killer it was still moving as to say "fuck you, I'm a black widow and will plant babies in your eyes after I'm done feasting on your corpse".

After that I grabbed a lighter and torched it. It still moved a few times after that but eventually it died.

I hope it's cousins don't crawl through the toilet and electrical outlets while I'm sleeping and take over the house.

Also, my neighbor came over after that because of all the commotion. If only I could just train spiders to attack unwanted guests.

I live in fear now.

Sneaking up!

TheColinCollectionBites — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 07:00:00 GMT

So I've been TWEETing about the new project that is gonna blow the socks of your momma. It's called The Caustic Collection incase you haven't heard from your neighbor. Heather Gabel and I have been busy churning out some sweet goodies. This line is really refreshing for me to do, artistically. I can't wait to unveil it.

It's sneaking up just like the thing under your bed.

Thanx to Colin for making/ruining my day with that video.

B-DAYBITES — Tue, 19 May 2009 07:00:00 GMT

Actually it was 30 yrs old.
I swear I'm stoked that I'm 30 now because I can actually remember my age now. I always forgot what it was in my twenties after I turned 23. Nobody cares after that anyways.

I had a BBQ and a ton of my friends showed up. Great times!

Ripley's Believe it or Not. Tallest man alive and man with boy face.

Swimmer's Ear

HORSEEAR — Tue, 19 May 2009 07:00:00 GMT

I have an interview in the latest Swimmer's Ear magazine issue #24.

CHECK IT OUT ONLINE HERE
Thanx a ton to everyone at Swimmer's Ear for the support. I'm flattered. The layout also looks grand! There's nothing less gratifying when someone lays out your interview badly, cheapo depot. But these guys nailed it!

Here is what is featured in SE24:
A long time in the works, Swimmer's Ear Magazine #24 finally hits the streets. This issue features interviews with bands; Pomegranates, Auxes, and Now,Now Every Children, an interview with artist and musician Horsebites, as well as a look into the portfolio of Akron, Ohio based artist Robindale330. If that wasn't enough, there's more, we take a peek into Randy Laybourne's 20x20 project and we invade the workspaces of four of skateboarding's top artists, Andy Jenkins, Mark Fos, Michael Sieben and Patrick Jilbert.

On a side note:
Thanx to Alex for showing me the noise I want to make when I die.

AXE Monthly Review is up!

REVIEWBITES — Mon, 18 May 2009 07:00:00 GMT

That's right, check out what the AXE has been up to in April. This would of been posted in the beginning of May when it was supposed to but due to mainly me and some others in the AXE we slowed it down. Hey, it happens.

It would probably never happen if it wasn't for Joey!

I have some other sweet blog posts coming up real soon. Once I recover from my birthday (hopefully by tomorrow morn) I'll get some sweet pics up.

I forgot to post this earlier. ROME finally started producing some snowboards I did last year. I don't know if they are officially for sale yet but someone found this pic on their blog. Pretty pumped on how rad they look.

El Coqui!

COQUIBITES — Mon, 11 May 2009 07:00:00 GMT

The other day I was introduced to this awesome restaurant in Orlando called El Coqui. A Puerto Rican and Mexican couple owned the place and mixed their styles together. The food was out of this world and might of been the best spanish food I've had in Orlando. Yup, you heard right.

Sopes were really good and super cheap.

I would have to say the prize was the mofongo with fish and yuca. Soooooo good!

Ok, best part about all this was the fact that it's bring your own beer!!!!
Why isn't every restaurant like that!?

I do have a complaint though, the place is mega tiny and only has 4 tables inside so the wait can be a bitch or I've been there twice already where people have reserved the whole restaurant for a party and it drives me nuts. Sort of like how cowboy butts drive me nuts.

My friend Lindsey graduated the other day and I made her a gift. I've been wanting to try out a new style for drawing since I haven't had the chance to do any fine art lately. I was really happy how the technique of drawing with pen then shading with pencil came out. I really want to expand on this and I think I'm going to do one once a week and sell them in my web store for a reasonable price. Good idea?

Qbert for the win!

QUILTYBITES — Thu, 07 May 2009 07:00:00 GMT

Summer is here.

KIWIBITES — Wed, 06 May 2009 07:00:00 GMT

I'm officially car less now and my only transportation is my motorcycle. Pretty stoked I at least have that to get around on.

Peace out car.

Ultra pumped that my buddy Ben scored an amazing deal on this beast from the east.

Honda CB550 Cafe Racer.
This thing is super intimidating to ride and I almost shit my pants turning a corner. It's like the Incredible Hulk on two wheels. You don't want to make me angry!

I'm just pumped I can ride with someone to go far and get tacos.

Bailey just got her scooter back and looks like a drug dealer from Miami Vice now.

My buddy Adam from New Zealand totally got busted with his Kiwis hanging out at a club. Bam!

And to top it off, puppies on the street and a classic Hoff flick.

Sweet dreams are made of inconsiderate asshats.

CARBITES — Sun, 03 May 2009 07:00:00 GMT

I was totally dreaming about some airplane that was ready to crash and all I could hear was the engine sounding like it was dying and making a horrible noise. Super weird, turns out that noise I was hearing was the douchebag outside my house. Their tire was rubbing up against the wheel well of their car because they just slammed into my parked car. My neighbors came out only to see the perp taking off. So now I'm stuck with a busted ass car.

Anyone that's known me for a while knows that I have thee worst luck with cars ever. No joke, almost every car I've ever owned has been totaled and it's never my fault. Sux.

Good thing I have my motorcycle, I'm gonna dress up like Mad Max and patrol the land.

Fair is fair

HORSECARNIE — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 07:00:00 GMT

The other day I went to the fair with some of my friends. I had a blast.

There's nothing like checking out the carnies. Such an amazing breed of people. I was really hoping to run into Joe Dirt while I was there, but no luck.
Unfortunately my camera melted when I tried to take a pic of the soulless creatures.

Everyone went apeshit on the rides except for me. Usually I love going on them but I was more concerned on drinking and taking in the view.

before...

...during

Dude! These fun houses have the best art on them. I couldn't stop staring and appreciating how they still go all out on the design of these rides. I've always appreciated the German style rides especially at Disney World. They rule.

Wolf Man's got nards!!

I ate so much funnel cake that Brian had to carry me home.

So my good buddy Brandon Dunlap from Tampa just released this new silkscreened print for the band Red Fang. It looks really sweet. An edition of 35 were made and they measure 12x17 inches, 2 colors on good arches 88 paper. He's only selling them for $20 HERE.

Now I'm gonna go outside and jump curbs on my motorcycle.

Greasy Rider

FASTBITES — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 07:00:00 GMT

After riding my moped around for a few months I got a little greedy with going faster so I picked up this beast the other day.

It's a 1971 Honda CB350. I've never ridden a motorcycle before so my buddy Ben (a.k.a. Short shorts) told me how to do it.

He hasn't ridden in a while so we both picked it up in about 20 min or so. Not too bad.
I was really intimidated to ride it cause motorcycles sort of freak me out but I over came that fear and felt comfortable really quick. It's a pretty small engine for a motorcycle and barely goes over 100mph.

Now I know what you're thinking "barely goes over 100mph"!? But come on, what if it went 650mph? My balls would get sucked in to my butthole and then I would end up with shit balls, and nobody likes shit balls.

It's in amazing condition for being almost 40 years old. Couldn't believe I found something like this at the price I got it for. Stoked!

I really wanted to convert it into a cafe racer but I love how it looks stock so we'll see. In the mean time I need to get my license and helmet quick cause I can't stop taking this thing out. It's soooo much fun!

Also, Mike from Set Your Goals got a tattoo of a shirt design I did for them a while back.

Can't really tell whats going with your ankles but it looks like you have a potato implanted in it. Get that looked at would ya?!

Original design.

Fashion of the christ

HORSEJEN — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 07:00:00 GMT

How rad!?

She also cuts hair for a living and rules at it. So if you live in her area then get your hair did son!

My buddy Chris Tomberlin had his birthday BBQ bash today and it was super fun. Hanging with good friends, falling back in chairs and watching two dogs almost kill each other. Good times!

Chris is the dude who filmed a bio on Horsebites. He does awesome work and it only keeps getting better. I'll keep you posted once he gets his film business going and will dominate the dominatrixes. What?!

Happy Bday Chrissssss

...and thank you Steph for this wonderful clip that made my Easter. This is how I react when my family asks me to go eat dinner with them on such a special occasion.

HORSECOLIN — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 07:00:00 GMT

I will not explain what this is about. I barely even know what this is about.

I don't know why I even got all this food, I'm not even hungry.

AIRHOCKEYBITES — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 07:00:00 GMT

I just got back from my trip to Philly and Lancaster and I'm sick as a dog. Sux!

First off, thanx to Air Tranny for delaying my flight over 10hrs. I thought I was gonna lose my mind sitting in the airport and people watching. All though when I was waiting in the customer service line waiting to complain I say a girl run up to the trash can and puke her brains out. That was a treat.

After I approached the customer service dude I put my ticket on the counter and said "what do you think I'm gonna complain about?". I usually never complain ever especially if it's about food cause lets face it, I'm scared they'll spit in my food and I'll eat anything. So before I can even finish my sentence the guy says you got a free round trip ticket anywhere in the US including San Juan, Puerto Rico and Cancun, Mexico. Holy shit! Sweeeeeeet!

I sat near a sick baby on the plane ride there. Great.
Once I finally arrived in Philly my buddy Colin from None More Black picked me up and took me to his sex lair. I mean his house.

First thing on Friday morning was the ultimate mission. Eating.

We ate at Sabrinas which has incredible food. If you live in Philly and haven't been there then you must be border line retarded. Soooo good.

Once Jason and his girl Laura got there we had to flail our arms in an attempt to play Wii.

I pretty much suck at all their games.

We headed off to the art show that Steak Mtn. and I had in Lancaster. No offense to Lancaster natives but I was surprised once I arrived. I didn't realize what an active and nice city they had. Well, at least this part of the city. Everyone and their mother was out walking around and enjoying themselves. I felt like I was in the movie The Truman Show. I walked in to Metropolis Art Gallery and was welcomed warmly.

Angelo and Lisa are the owners of Metropolis and they ruled it. They were so incredibly nice. It's always so nice to meet people like this.
I even had security working the joint.

One more step and you get the peoples elbow son!

Steaks work looked amazing and creepy as usual. I never know what to think when I look at his art and I like it that way.

I got to meet up with Volatile V (Andrew Zell) (check his work out now) from Emptees and he was repping some AXE and HB gear. Super pumped to see some internet faces in real life. They usually end up being way cooler in person.

He brought the Zardcore deck and I signed it for him. I hope he smashes over a cops head. Or just puts it on his wall.

Dude looks like he could be my brother. Yikes!!!

Grabbed some Italian grub in between hanging at the gallery.

Pretty rad.

When I came back I met a guy named Nick (goes by Gnarly Nick on Emptees) who came with his friends all the way from Syracuse!! That's like a 5 hour drive. I was so impressed by it I felt like I should of just given him something for driving so long. I had a great conversation about and art and everything he's been doing. I would def hang with him and his friends if he lived in my town. Sucks I didn't get a pic of us chatting though. Boo. None the less, check out his website. It's got some great illustrations and a sweet blog.

NMB crew with Heather taking Pauls place for the moment.

Handsome devils.

Had to take a pic of this guy just for the hell of it.

Next morning I had the breakfast of champions thanx to Heather. Master Chef.

We practiced in the basement for a few hours but it just wasn't the same without having Paul there. I felt awkward not having that rhythm back bone. Listen to me, I sound like some idiot who works at a music store.

Dinner slayed it all though.

Yes, that's nachos a.k.a. diarrhea island.

Followed up by this

and this!

I thought I was gonna die. I seriously ate so much food that I was intense pain and I felt like my body was gonna melt.

It might of been the most food I've ever eaten. Keep in mind I had a chimichanga in between this.

Diabetes here I come!

Worked off all that food with Buck Hunter

...and a ferocious game of air hockey.

These guys were so serious that the puck kept flying all over the place cause Jay and Colin were annihilating the puck. They were shaking the table like gorillas. Eventually Colin blasted one at Jay and smacked his wrist so bad. Jay screamed and we all laughed. Come to find out today that actually broke his arm. I'm not kidding. HIS ARM WAS BROKEN PLAYING AIR HOCKEY. I will never play air hockey with these beasts ever.

*this just in, pics.

After that we bowled and Jason never knew his arm was busted. He just said it felt sore. Wow. The dude was bowling an 8lb ball at 26mph!!! Like I said, they're all savage beasts.

Last day I finally got my fake philly cheesesteak that I've been obsessing over.
Once again Sabrinas brought the pain!!

Dr. Dan Yemin staring at his food contemplating if he needs to console it or something.

Bad ass trip once again. Thanx to Colin for letting me stink up his place and use his bidet. Changed my life.

On the flight back I was lucky enough to sit right next to a sick baby. The first 20 minutes of the flight this thing pukes up all this white shit on him and his mom. Love it. What's with people puking when it comes to airplanes? Wus. I wanted to flush him down the toilet so bad. He would look a smurf after he gets flushed.

I'll end this post with Colins dog. Nuf said.

No tricks up my sleeve.

So, I really wanted to do something dumb for April Fools but I couldn't think of anything worthy enough. You gotta go all the way when you prank a massive amount of people. I was gonna try and eat a ton of cabbage and fart in to the internet (still working on how to figure that out) so that when you go to my page it emits a real bronx cheer. Eh?
I gots nothings folks.

But! I am leaving tomorrow for my art show in Lancaster on Fri at Metropolis Art Gallery. Sooo pumped on that.
Mainly cause I'm gonna eat my face off!

Speaking of getting fat, I got some sweet pics of the food I've been obsessing over lately. I'm such a fat kid at heart.

Also, my good friends had their first house show the other day. They're called the Darlings and they killed it. It was so much fun hanging with all my good friends and listening to great music.

And of course, eating more food.

AAAGGH!!! Oh, hi mom.

WUSBITES — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 07:00:00 GMT

Sorry bout all the vids but this was too good to pass up.

Honestly though, who the hell gets this scared when they're in front of a bunch of people performing. It's not like he was in a dark room by himself...

...like I am right now.

pathetic.

Thank you.

COLINBITES — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 07:00:00 GMT

I just want to thank Colin for seriously ending my week with the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

I just happened to be sitting around with my friends and I showed everyone and Sam lost his shit. The way his flip flops fly in the air and then his second go at it is priceless.

Also, a big thanx to Joey from the AXE for hooking my blog up. The rest of my stuff (myspace, store, portfolio) should be getting a face lift real soon too. Now I won't have to listen to people complain how "my computer is made out of legos and popsicle sticks and it won't load your myspace and website" or some shit like that.

Thanx!

Duuuuude

I'll be hanging out and pretending to know what I'm talking about when it comes to art.

SUNBURNTBITES — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 07:00:00 GMT

I finally got some more pics of HOH fest. I'm still waiting on some more so enjoy these for now bungholes.

I was just testing this drinking contraption to see if it was ok to drink water from incase someone got dehydrated. I swear.

Practicing the new song in the hotel room

Nut job.

This feels like it was a year ago already.
I'm waiting on the pics from sunday when Gatorface played so I'll get those up once I get them.

Can't forget about this gem.

Not sure who got it but I hope they realize that festivals are not tattoo parlors.

Wait for it...

BOUNCINGBITES — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 07:00:00 GMT

The AXE just did these posters for the two Bouncing Souls shows happening in Orlando. I went to the show last night it was really good. VIRGINS blew me away just like everytime they play and D4 owned. What can I say about the Souls? They're classic.

It's a 2 color silkscreened poster. 13x17 on black linen poster paper.
Only 80 in existence. Hand numbered. Two color versions.

Going tonight for round two!

CRACKHEADBITES — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 07:00:00 GMT

I wish I could draw as good as that amateur sketch artist. One day.

I can't wait to see every meat head downtown wear their sweet green and white striped cat in the hat hats. People watching galore.

Snake Harmer now available!

Harvest of Hope Fest Part 1

HORSEBLACK — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 07:00:00 GMT

I'm gonna have to show these in parts mainly because I didn't take too many pics and between all my friends there are a ton of pics.

Saturday I played my first show with None More Black. It was a blast.

I thought I would be more nervous than I was considering it was my first show with them but they are just so easy to be around that I didn't think about it much.

I'm sure if you read the previous posts about these guys you realize they are unique bunch of guys. Super energetic and laughing at all times possible, but when they play it's crushing time.

I'll have to admit. It was sort of awkward on such a big stage. I'm not really used to that kind of thing and it felt a little impersonal. I can't wait to play a small comfortable place with NMB.

Dust was flying everywhere and there were a bunch of stinky hippies walking around bare foot. I wanted to strangle them.

Paint It Black shredded the stage after us. They were really really good. I love those guys.

They all got bummed on me because last time I went to Philly. I didn't tell anyone of them I was there because I just went to practice and demo new songs. Sorry dudes, hope you forgive me.

I really wish I could of hung out with my friends a lot more but I was running around like a tard all 3 days. We had to set up 3 hours before and I saw so many people from a ton of different bands that I wanted to say hi to everyone. What can you do?

*all the super nice photos were taken and copyrighted by Chris Cella

That's it for now, stay tuned for the next installment.

15 free beers.

ARTBITES — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 07:00:00 GMT

So my art show was last night and it went over great. A bunch of my friends came out to support (mainly their drinking habits).

The attendance was actually pretty good for a Tuesday mainly because Lucero was playing next door and Deerhunter was playing down the street.

I was allowed 15 free beers. Like a dream come true.

I couldn't even get through half though. My friends were hanging tight the whole night. Stoked they enjoyed themselves.

(sorry about the pic Audrey. Hey, you made the face)

Wolf Tears (Kaz) played the best music ever! I seriously had the best time because it was all of my favorite songs playing in the background.

Thanx to everyone who came out!

Art show tonight!

HORSEART — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 07:00:00 GMT

Once again, If you live in Orlando come by to BBQ BAR tonight March 10th from 11pm -2am to check out some art and have a beer with me. My buddy Kaz (Wolf Tears) is doing his dj duty and playing some sweet classic tunes.
(I sound like an old fart when I say that)

I'll have prints and art for sale unavailable anywhere else.

Pain by numbers

DONNYBITES — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 07:00:00 GMT

I've been lucky enough lately to go back to painting some more. I have to because of I have an art show tomorrow at BBQ Bar in Orlando and also another art show coming up in the beginning of April in Lancaster PA (more info on that soon).

Here is a piece I did a week ago that was really fun.

My good friend Bailey gave me a couple tiny ornate frames to paint. I love doing smaller painting where I can knock them out in a few hours. The painting only measures 3 1/2 inches. Super small.

Painting on cardboard has a unique texture that I like painting on, it absorbs the paint but not drastically. Good for quick jobs.

Bam! Finished

Next up I had to paint a prize for an instore meet and greet with Less Than Jake at Park Ave CD's in Orlando. My friend Shellie who manages the shop asked me to do it and I had to agree mainly because she rules and I've done so much stuff for LTJ lately that it just made perfect sense to.

I decided to take an old Donny Osmond record and show his true colors on it.

I swear there is some weird incestuous thing going on with him and his sister. UGH!!

This guy never seemed real to me so I decided to make him look like he transformed in to a Garbage Pail Kid.

I had to finish painting this hours before leaving to Harvest of Hope with the None More Black guys. They came and hung out in my room while I worked. I thought they were staying busy with magazines and iPhones until Colin decided to take a pic of me with an unsuspecting full moon behind me supplied by Jason.

I couldn't figure out why he took the picture and kind of snickered afterwards. I asked what was funny but he said he was clearing his throat.
Thanks guys.

Anyways, I finally finished it and rushed over to drop it off at the record store for a lucky winner.

I hope it was worth it dude.

American Greaser Supply

HORSEGREASER — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 08:00:00 GMT

Yesterday I got an awesome package mail. I designed a shirt for a company called American Greaser Supply. It's an independent company that started in a kitchen and by word of mouth got bigger and bigger. I love stories like this. It proves you don't need a 9-5 job to do make something of yourself and live on your own terms. The owner "Betsy" started in her kitchen making her own formulas for hair products and grease in the mid 90's.

On a side note: I actually got the job through her husband Mackenzie. I know him because of his company National Underground.org which documents shows in the punk scene. They have awesome video footage on their site of your favorite current punk bands ruling it.

Anyways, back to the package. They sent me this box full of great stuff.

It had the shirt I designed, the whole collection of their hair grease, stickers and trinkets.

Let this be a lesson to all people who own a business. Establishing a good relationship with someone by showing your appreciation goes a long way. Especially when I'm on the receiving end.

They have 3 different types of product depending on what type of hair you want. 40 wt, 90 wt and Super 90 wt.

Personally I like this look.

Yes. That's my high school senior pic. Truth.

Click HERE to check out their site and buy that shirt and hair products!!
Best of luck to AGS, I know they're gonna kill it!
Support any independent company. It's worth it.

Never trust a guy wearing a blazer.

I'm such an asshole. I can't stop laughing at this.

I also think it's funny that the owner waits there with the video camera for this to happen.

HORSEBITES art show in Orlando

Give STAINS the damn cupcake!

HORSESTAINS — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 08:00:00 GMT

I just saw this on the Johnny Cupcakes blog and I almost lost my mind. I don't know if it's the dogs facial expression along with the music or what but it will forever haunt my dreams!

Now that I think of it, my face probably looks exactly the same when someone takes away food from me. The same music also plays in my head. Pathetic.

And so will this with no thanx to Derek Deal for showing me this atrocious band.

also the classic, "it's not scratched". (wait for the very end)

Horsebites and Heather Gabel presents: SNAKE HARMER

HORSEHARMER — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 08:00:00 GMT

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I just collaborated with my good friend Heather Gabel on this sweet poster. It's titled "Snake Harmer". Get it?

Anyways, it's limited to 100 and it's only $35!!!!! That's right.
It's also only available at the Harvest of Hope Fest in St. Augustine on March 6th, 7th and 8th. So if you're there then I would grab one quick. You can buy one at the Kiss Of Death Records Tent. They will be sold with durable poster tubes so that you can protect it from all the hippies and meatheads.
If we have any available prints after the Fest then it will be for sale on our websites.

Cooking hell.

HORSEMETAL — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 08:00:00 GMT

My buddy Paul showed me this funny video today and I thought I would throw it up here because I'm constantly showing food that's already made. This vid will walk you through everything you need to know about baking cookies the black metal way even though they look like they smashed their faces in moon pies. I can actually hear myself getting fatter.

Does somebody have a case of the Muuundays?

JOHNNYHAMMERSTICKSBITES — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 08:00:00 GMT

Yes.

Why I live in Florida.

HETFIELDBITES — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 08:00:00 GMT

It's because of days like this. One of the nicest days out. No clouds, not even airplanes. They didn't feel like ruining the sky on such a rad day.

I don't normally blog about random stuff so I decided to just throw in a bunch of pics of what I've been doing lately. Mainly eating.
I'll let most of these pics do the talking. I talk too much.

Mountain of love.

Hanging at Alex's new house that they just moved into. It rules.

Mmmm. Cupcakes.

Biggest cupcake ever!

Later it got lost in Kaz's beard.

Yes, Sam's head is really this big.

Eating lunch with Kevin and Joey from the Black Axe.

What a stiff.

bad joke, I know.

This lady at Subway was so damn loud! I had to sneak a pic of her apple bottom denim surprise wonder outfit.

Her friend totally busted me.

El Potro. Some of the best veggie fajitas. Woooooo!

My friend Bailey got a tattoo of something I drew for her. It's turning out amazing! One more color to go.

p.s. Don't even think of asking me to draw you a tattoo.

And to finish off this post. My favorite video lately. I almost made Eric pee his pants when I played this over and over again. Genius.
