Uncle Mark: I tattooed Unlce Mark when he first turned 18. He and his surf pals came in and started to get some work too. Not sure how the "Uncle" part came to be since I'm old enough to be his dad. We hit it off right away. One of... Continue reading

Been a productive week on several fronts. First with the completion of the Mel Project, I switched gears into bike mode as my treasured parts finally arrived. The Enola Gay really needed a NICE set of wheels to go with it so I built a pair! Fun and technical, much... Continue reading
