Military brats know what this pen is. Probably a 35 year old Skill Craft- U.S. Government ballpoint. ‘Borrowed’ from my father’s briefcase a million years ago. And it still drawing the same metal madness it did a million years ago in my current travel sketchbook. #timetravel #throwback #officesupplyfetish #sketchbook #ballpointpen #ballpointpenart #ballpointpendrawing #killingtime

Thanks Hamilton Ontario!

Filming a show for @Netflix in Hamilton, Ontario . Should I tell the pub they forgot the ‘c’? #surreallife #artlife

So happy to get back to my lovely lady Teresa N Fischer and little old man Oliver after surviving the Monsters of Rock Cruise! It was my first cruise ever and epic. So when does the house stop moving beneath my feet? Been 2 days and I have not found my land legs yet.

Back from the boat! @monstersofrockcruise absolutely was epic! One of the coolest events I’ve done as an artist. There is much love for fantasy art amongst fellow metal heads, going back to Molly Hatchet, Frazetta covers- and I felt it. I was a stranger in a strange land but some how found my lost tribe! Thanks to all who came by the gallery to check out the art. Got to hang with so many cool folks including @rickallenlive from Def Leppard, @brianwheat of Tesla who are both artists @wentworthshows with me. Freaking @chris_holmes_official from WASP couldn’t have been nicer. And to cap it off, @nunobettencourtofficial from Extreme was kind enough to sign the queen bee N4 guitar (and was an absolute monster on stage despite a knee injury!)! #rockandrollfantasy #metal #drawing #journal #journaling #sketchbook #monstersofrock #hornsup

Holy Hell, hanging with the legend @chris_holmes_official , founding guitarist of W.A.S.P. F’ like a Beast! What a surreal life. @monstersofrockcruise #metal #metalgods #heavymetal #guitargod #lametal #80s

So… this happened. Freakin Nuno Bettencourt signed the queen bee N4 guitar for its new owner Lara! @garain . Nuno is awesome. Lara is awesome. Such awesome vibes on the @monstersofrockcruise I will miss this guitar. It was epic! #rockstar #nunobettencourt #extremeband #rockstarart #customguitar #paintedguitar #queenbee

Having an amazing time on the @monstersofrockcruise Cruise with Wentworth Gallery. Holy moly behind the desk is @rickallenlive from @defleppard and standing by the column is @brianwheat from @teslaband what a surreal life! Heck I saw Def Leppard on the Hysteria in the 80’s! #metal #monstersofrockcruise #monstersofrock @wentworthshows @wentworthgalleryshorthills
