New Tattoo

Just got a new tattoo at Sunken Ship, Everett, WA by artist Matt Sawdon (who did my last three). My newest musical project is called D.A. Sebasstian & the Inner Demons (a statement about overcoming my drug and alcohol abuse) so I thought "Inner Demons" would make some good forearm ink. I created the design by using several different old typewriter fonts cut and pasted in Photoshop and then adding more dirt and fill to the letter centers, letter edges, etc. Next I am going to get some flames and detail work. Little by small. 

New Tattoo

Went to my man Matt Sawdon at Sunken Ship Tattoo in Everett, WA to cash out a gift certificate my family gave me for my birthday (last February) for a new tattoo. Got a 1960s era Dodge logo in red with black outline. Now when I flip my arms over I have "Dodge Charger" from arm to arm. Mopar or No Car Mofos!

New Tattoo

Went over to Sunken Ship Tattoo in Everett, Washington to finally cash in a $150 gift card my wife and kids got me for my Birthday last February. Matt Sawdon was the artist and did an exact rendering of some graphics I made up months ago. Since I play Bass I thought the wording would be very appropriate. Now I have to figure what to do next, maybe a Dodge Super Bee logo. 

Go-Kustom TV @ Sunken Ship Anniversary Cruise-In

We headed up to Everett, Washington yesterday morning for the 5th Annual Sunken Ship Cruise-In. Hot Rod Heidi and her husband, tattoo artist, Matt Sawdon run Sunken Ship and every year they give back to the community with a free day of tattoos. First come first serve and when we arrived the line was down the street! The artists work all day for free (but do appreciate tips), doing a set list of tattoo artwork for clients. Some great original designs, with some designs being masculine and others more on the feminine side. We had a vendor booth on the north side parking lot and also filmed a bit for Go-Kustomn TV. The bands performing in store included Hard Money Saints, Repomen, Graceland 5, Billy Dwayne & The Creepers and Ryan Laplante. The kustoms and hot rods filed into the south parking lot for the cruise-in. Excellent turnout , excellent event. 

Final Cut Pro Timelines

Adjusting timelines for each interview in Final Cut Pro 7. The current interview on my computer is Matt Sawdon of Sunken Ship Tattoo. Lots to render and edit. Soooo much footage to go through. Still better too much than not enough :) 

Rats & Gassers Trailer Editing

Got a major chunk of editing done today for the Rats & Gassers: Kustom Kulture Takes A Ride Movie Trailer this afternoon. Only a few holes to fill and the first version will be ready to post.

I also got some tattoo fill-in work done by Matt Sawdon of Sunken Ship Tattoo in Everett, WA. Have to say Matt really does top notch work. I am going back in a few weeks for some more inking.

Charger Script Tattoo

Went over to Sunken Ship Tattoo in Everett, WA to have Matt Sawdon start some new ink for me. Decided on Dodge Charger script lettering on my left arm. Matt did a great job and I plan on going back next month to add some detail to some older tats and start planning out how to tie everything together.

Matt Sawdon Interview for Rats & Gassers

Went up to Everett, WA to interview tattoo artist Matt Sawdon for Rats & Gassers: Kustom Kulture Takes A Ride. Matt and wife Hot Rod Heidi (who played Ruby Milldue in my last film Rat Rod Rockers!) own and operate Sunken Ship Tattoo. I thought it would be interesting to get a tattoo artist's take on Kustom Kulture Art Styles and the relationship between Hot Rod Kulture, Tattoos and Fabricators. Matt has a long body of work and years and years of knowledge. His perspectives were a welcome addition to this documentary.

Go-Kustom TV

We did a multi-part interview with Hot Rod Heidi and Co. for her multiple-endeavors. She is an active Pin-Up Angel (supporting the troops with care packages), owns a Vintage Clothing Store and with her husband owns Sunken Ship Tattoo in Everett. Look for these interviews on the our You Tube Pages and on the Best Of Go-Kustom TV 5 & 6.
