I might be biased but I still think Shane O”Neill is one of the best B/G artists and I also like the guy who works with him, Steve Wimmer. Chris Adamek is pretty damn good too.

Tyrell and Booth seem unreachable unless you’re a celeb. I would love to get a piece by Renshaw … wonder how often he strays from the wildlife theme. Caesar .. I don’t know why I didn’t think of him – thanks. 🙂 I’m going to check out Steven Christman’s portfolio now.

No knock to booth, but to me he isnt worth the…[Read more]

hard to pick a “best” but there are a lot of great b/g artists in the east. paul booth, bob tyrell, tom renshaw, caesar, etc etc.

Brutal location/placement!

Ill pm u his email and phone number. I was able to contact him thru his site, but i dont know how often he checks/updates it.

I hate mario barth so by default i hate intenze inks, but a lot, and i mean a lot of great artists use it. I acutally have a few pieces done with intenze and they look and feel great.

I sent a PM over his site but those usually don’t go far. I tracked him down to a shop in Long Beach but he doesn’t work there anymore. Then I found some of his art at a gallery called Timeline but there are no hits from Google on there, at least not in…[Read more]

It’s just amazing the things we do while getting head. The wife draws the line at eating while getting head.

I’m not 100% about a cover up, I think it’s fixable, but I don’t know to what extent. Though I did see cover ups in his full portfolio at the shop.

and a poor photo of my Koeplinger piece –

love your traditional pieces!!!!

can i rub one out to your picture first?

Very nice. Love the texture on boba fett. He does uses a lot of white. I would love to see how it holds up after a year. Make sure u take care of it (aftercare, sunscreen, etc).

Do u know which black inks last? Also, would it be okay to inquire about their inks beforehand?

ink will always fade, no matter what. but there are different quality of inks that stay vibrant longer. this applies to not just black, but all colors.
