What’s that? You’re tired of the holding a cumbersome 50 pound bag of rocks while you lay down some ice melt? Well! Look no further! Just take an old laundry detergent bucket, cut a hole in that sucka, pour some o’ them magic melty rocks
Man, trying to draw on my phone with my finger is a real pain. Makes me really wanna upgrade to a Note. Someday. #snapcat

Working on a self-portrait. Acrylic on canvas, 20"x20". Listening to Holy Diver radio on Pandora. When i was a kid, one of my doctors thought i had a brain tumor or something because I had a ginormous head. Went to the head specialist…th
This dude is killin’ it at Back Bay in Boston. Drop a dollah in the bucket. #boston #mbta #streetperformers (at Back Bay)

The Bitfest Warehouse is just a 2 minute walk down the street from Night Shift Brewery. Maybe a 15 min walk from Wellington on the orange line. #boston #bitfest
Hahaha, chalk on the men’s room wall. (at Night Shift Boston Ma)
There’s an art opening at Know No Truth tonight and it’s packed. There’s no other art gallery on Newbury Street like it. Check it out. The art is dark, alternative stuff. Honest, raw work. #newburystreet #art #gallery #boston (at KnowNo
Let’s hope this bad boy does better under rain than the last one. Le board sandwich, c'est fini. Ok, now I’m hungry. #art #drawing #montanahardcore #sandwichboard #artofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artistsontumblr (at Sofá Café)
Working on the sandwich upside down. Trust me, it’s practical.

Skull with snake progress. Those aren’t teeth in the snake’s mouth. They’re gums, hahaha. Skulls speak in emojis, it’s true. #art #drawing #skull #snake #artofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artistsontumblr (at Empire Tattoo
Skull with snake progress. The snake has sunglasses ‘cause she’s obviously a cool dude. #art #drawing #skull #snake #artofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artistsontumblr (at Empire Tattoo Quincy)

I was working on the sandwich board this morning. Almost done with one side. I hopr these Montana and Molotow markers are rain proof. At least the board itself won’t melt in the rain. #sandwichboard #montana #molotow #markers #art #drawing #bosto
Working on a hibiscus. Gotta be able to roll out those flowers. #flowers #hibiscus #ink #drawing #art (at Empire Tattoo Quincy)
The latest progress on my newest self-portrait. #art #painting #painterslife #acrylic #golden #artofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artistsontumblr
More progress on the skulls. When it gets closer to the finishing line and I’m trying to push it past being ok. It will die or get stronger, ahahaha. #skullsforlife #skulls #art #painterslife #acrylic #golden #artofinstagram #artistsoninstagram
This is what my palette looks like right now. Buncha flourescent colors, plus phosphorescent green (AKA glow-in-the-dark paint), plus some zinc white mixed with some gel medium. #studio #painterslife #acrylic #golden #artofinstagram #artistsoninstagram
Skulls in progress. I use mostly Golden heavy body acrylic paint. Also their mediums. The gels they put out make it possible to get glazing effects similar to oil paint. #skullsforlife #skulls #studio #painterslife #acrylic #golden #artofinstagram
Skulls in progress. When i add the glow-in-the-dark paint this is gonna be amaze-balls. #skullsforlife #skulls #studio #painterslife #acrylic #golden #artofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artistsontumblr
Skulls in progress in my painting corner. I probably need to start another Godzilla painting soon…hmm #skullsforlife #skulls #studio #painterslife #acrylic #golden #artofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artistsontumblr
