New Inspiration. New Designs

I have regained some creativity.
It is time I begin to move my small business forward and give it the attention it deserves.
Here is one of the newest prints I will be offering this summer. This is called "the Derol" tee. I am super stoked about this new season shit. It will focus more on my passion for motor cycles. I will also bring out some more hot rod inspired designs too to help keep things fresh.
Be sure to check out www.flatblackind.com and pick something up.

Out with the old

So April it seams has been a busy month. A cleansing month I guess you could say. Transitional in a way. As the end of the month nears I look back and with a big sigh, raise my right hand high into the air, extend my middle finger and proclaim; "Fuck off April! See ya next year!"

For all the good that has come through this month a toll has been taken. Passions have been put to the side in order to cleanse the shit from my life. Now it is time to move forward, keep the drama in the gutter and get back full force on the things that truly drive me.

May if you start to turn out worse than April I'm gonna kick ya in the nuts too!

Feeling Exploited?

My lifes revolves around music.
Music sets the tone for every apsect of my life.
I listen to every conceivable type of music. Most of it good, some not so good.

Every band, every song, every note has a purpose.

Music has become a tool for me to mold my thoughts and emotions during the day.

Today these guys helped me say FTS.
And for that - I say; "Thank you gentlemen. well done!..."

Old Tools

There is something about old tools I just dig. Maybe it goes hand in hand with my collection of old tin. There has always seemed to be more passion associated with the older stuff.

Some people call it soul.
That works for me.

I have been collecting old tools for awhile. Mostly because I have a sickness. These, for function.
These are all for my 1931 AV8 blown Flathead engine build.

Friday juice

Sometimes,
late on Fridays,
I need a kick in the head.
This is doing it now.

I made a blog! YEAH, I made a blog

With inspiration from a friend of mine I have decided to finally step up and make a blog.
I don't always have the most interesting things to say, but think this is agreat idea to keep all of my friends and family in touch with what I have going on. My wife and I have a rapidly growing baby boy and more automotive projects than you can shake a stick at. With our day to day jobs, ownership of cour clothing company Flat Black Industries, and everything else I am sure we will find enough to keep this filled to the brim. the only thing I seem to be missing is TIME! I am sure it is going to take some time to work out all of the details but for now, this is my start.
Hope you enjoy it.
