I could resist posting this after I saw the result of a labor of love from one of the greatest surfboard shapers out there.  This is my hobby when i’m not doing rigging work, that is, surfing not shaping.  Although, one day I may just have the time and space to start learning to shape.

I’ve been surfing since I got to California almost and i’ve grown to love it so much.  It just makes me appreciate it even more when I see a work of art like this.  I really have respect for what these guys are doing and other people that are carrying on the tradition for the love of the craft.

Tattoo Design: Tibetan symbolism

I’m interested in getting something like this on my arm.  Gathering reference has been slow and involves little more than going and visiting tattoo shops to look at their artist portfolios and look at what they use for reference such as…

Some great tattoo reference.  Maybe someday soon.  I have to get it narrowed down to what I really want.

 

iPhone 3GS :-)

Thanks to my beautiful and thoughtful wife and the fact that it was my birthday on the 5th, I now have an iPhone 3GS. My heart is filled with joy at the new possibilities and relationship [my wife and I joke that its my Mistress] my phone and I have in the future. So, rather illegally, I snapped my first photo whilst driving down Melrose Ave to “devirginize” and test out its capabilities. All around I have to say i’m really impressed with its power. I’m not impressed however with AT&T and how they are dropping the ball, not allowing MMS and internet tethering as of yet. I’m not super impatient with having these capabilities seeing as network would need to be quite a bit heftier to handle all of this data transmission. Having super fast internet is more important than losing speed all the way around or dropping calls, which I have to say I have not experienced much at all with the older iPhone.

Well, anyway, here it is. Not that anyone but me cares or that it is a very stunning picture, but count me as another satisfied “power” iPhone user ;-)

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog that encompasses artistic interests in the Computer Graphics, Music, Film industries, and a few of my personal interests as well. I'm pretty new on the scene, but I hope to contribute a lot more as I have time and color my little dark corner of the interwebs with all kinds of things that make me, and maybe you, excited and inspired. Sometimes bombastic and at times dark and moody but always mischievous, I give you CG Hijinks, please, enjoy your stay!
