Rukru L.A. Clothing Streetwear T-Shirt Blog

I’ve been crazy busy lately and one of my favorite things going on right now is this new shirt series that I am illustrating for Rukru. I’m not going to blow the lid yet but lets just say these tees are going to be killer and really bring it back to our roots. Respect the Trade. The new line is coming soon. Get on the email and follow on twitter and facebook for more updates.

We got a feature in the new 10 year anniversary edition of Prick Magazine that just came out. Head out to your local shop and snag a copy. Might as well pick up some ink while you’re there. Maybe a portrait of my mom? HAAH!! Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Got a few random pics from a vegetarian BBQ pool party at our Los Feliz homies place. Aaron and Joe (AKA Bzuka Joe) are fucking assassins in the kitchen and always throwing down for all the friends. I thought this was going to be the BBQ that marked the end of summer but with the crazy heat wave we’ve been having in Los Angeles (110+) we might be able to squeeze in a few more. Oh, and if you can’t tell, vegetarian BBQ makes people happy. If they aren’t happy, it wasn’t cooked right.

The 7th annual Ink & Iron festival was this weekend at the Queen Mary in Long Beach CA. My buddy Bill and I rolled out Sunday to bask in the amazing custom hot rods, psycobilly tunes, pin-ups, booze and tattoos. The Southern California sun is always a plus for this sort of thing too. Obviously we had a great time, I managed to get out without another random tattoo and there was soooo much going on, I would suggest you check out the Ink & Iron website for the full details. The pics below are just a few shots from outside around the Queen Mary and then the main tattoo convention inside. It was quite a sight to see. Three floors of tattooing, inside an old haunted cruse-liner. Pretty rad. More information about the Queen Mary here.

I was invited to participate in a project by CitID.net to do a lettering that represents the city you live in. Considering we are in Los Angeles… it was a no brainer.
