Hey there!

This is a last minute tour informations!

I was supposed to go on tour to Japan with my partners in crime from HATEFUL MONDAY, but saddly, because of the troubles that happened out there we had to cancel.

Til, my friend from GUERILLA POUBELLE offered me the great opportunity to join them during their easter tour in North of France and to open a few gigs for them !

I'm super happy and very glad.

I'll jump in the van tomorrow! Can't wait to hit the road!

Hey Friends and Followers,

As you know, last week-end, I had the chance to head up to the 16th Belfort Tattoo Convention. Let me tell you something folks, That show was amazing!!!

The BELFORT TATTOO FAMILY team knows how to organise events!

First of all I had the chance to draw the poster, to hang out with the crew, to play a funny gig with my partners in crime from HATEFUL MONDAY, to make some rad tattoos on very nice customers, and to spend some time with a lot of friends I'm only seeing on the road.

But, I also had the special chance to meet Sir BJ BETTS.
He was, and still is, a pretty big influence for me when I'm studying letters.
Since i started tattooing, his book was always in front of me and was a big inspiration source to understand how does that work.
Letterings and scripts seems to be easy, but it's not...
I'm very glad I had the chance to meet him, to share good times and old school stories.

I did a 3rd place for the best of color on the sunday, I'm pretty stocked about it.

As I came back, I found out in my mailbox the new RISE TATTOO MAGAZINE.

I'm super happy and super honoured to be in it with Christian Nguyen and Shiest D.
If you read french, you should buy it as soon as possible.

I'll post the interview soon.












This week end, I'm hitting the road again for 2 shows with the band, so if you're leaving close to LYON (Fr) or BASEL (switzerland), check the infos:

-15.04.2011
@ TROKSON
Lyon - FRANCE

-16.04.2011
@ HIRSCHENECK
Bâle - SWITZERLAND

See you on the road Folks!

THANK YOU xOLIx!!!

After one year, and a long talk with my friend xOLIx from x83x... I finally decided to work on my Blog again.

I was very busy, so xOLIx did everything!

Please, Take the time to check his own blog about veganism and straight edge culture, such an interesting and healthy way of life!

xOLIx dedicated not less than 15 years for this movement, let me tell you, he knows the subject.

Today, I'm heading up to Belfort (Fr), for the 16th Tattoo Convention. I'm pretty exited, every year, this event is a blast.

I'll be working there with my friends from Inkvaders and the 357 Collective, and I'll be playing some punk rock chords with HATEFUL MONDAY at 19h30! Be on time!

This is not that much news for the moment, but I promess, I'll post more stuff next week! ;)

See you in Belfort then!
