What A Pisser or Taking A Piss On The americant Dream

What a Pisser.
Detail (close up) Mixed paint on wood, 27inches by 48inches (give or take).

There are many people that pretend to be something they are not. Then there are people who don't hide anything and they seem rude to other people but are really great people. Some pretend to be good but are really evil and others are rude but would go out of their way to help anyway they can. Which are you?

Some people just take and take without thinking of the consequence. Remember that everything you consume (be it food, beer, ideas, or drugs) will be discarded into the world around you. It's an endless cycle but that's life, it's what's keeps us going.
Americans spend a shit load of cash on stupid shit over 700 million on entertainment alone. Yet our education system is lacking funding, has small classrooms, under paid teachers, and outdated books.
Let's try spending less on crap we are just going to piss away and be more conscious of what we are consuming. Let's try and not spend any money for one day, then two days, until we can do it for a whole week. Pack a lunch, take your own drink, walk or bike to work or if it's your day off spend the day outdoors, go skateboarding, read a book. If we try and better our self the world might not hate Americans so much, or not. What do i know?

ummmm....

Here are some pics of skateboard art done by many different artist.


Top left corner, the bear with shrooms, is by Marissa. The middle one is by Tony Alma, the other ones are by (names not yet known).

F.I.G.H.T. Obesity

Boba Fett Fight or flight original painting by Tony Alma on canvas.
Sorry for the shitty pic but only have a camera phone to take pictures until we get a good camera (hint, hint, motherhonkers, hint, hint.).
Got a few request to post some of the new paintings I've been working on but the pictures don't do them justice. Really don't want to post unfinished art work or would you like to see the progress of a piece? 
Well, here are a few phone pics to hold you over until we get pics of all the new paintings.

Waiting for trains to pass by.
Thank you and hope to hear from you soon. take care everyone...


p.s.
feels like i'm forgetting something or missing something but can't quite figure out what? oh well, maybe next time...

Boring People With Boarding People or Taking The Target Off Your Back

First art work of the year. Spray paint, marker, ink, acrylic paint, glow-in-the-dark paint and blood on a skateboard.

Hi, and welcome to the 2013.
It's a new year so let's try and stay up this time. The skateboard above is for a upcoming benefit art show. don't have the info right now because a friend just ask if I wanted to paint on a skateboard and after it was done then we decided to ask about the show. Will post the art show info once it's known until then enjoy this old pic of a sold painting on cardboard I did a few years back that got sold to an unknown person. Take care and come back sooon...
