Tattoo Unveiling, The Bass Phenomena, reaching 2 Legit to Quit

Woken up slowly, it hit me that I received a beautiful new piece of artwork on my skin.

After years of longing for an artist who can capture the type of animations I love, it happens abrupt and the stars aligned. (& I need that shit to happen more often!) x) I've got a deep love for cartoons and have always wanted a full color sleeve of my favorite cartoons from my childhood up until now. These cartoons serve to remind me of some of the best times and keep a smile on my face with a laughter that has never gone away. I love em, and have dear memories associated with each one. Nightmare before Christmas having such a powerful impact on me as a child, I love Tim Burtons animation style and the concept of there being other worlds(dimensions) one could find given the right door.

This is Zero, my new homie (He is still healing, this is day 2) This color will branch out onto an entire theme supplemented by the presence of cartoons from different universes! Keep watch and maybe one of your favorites will show up on me! I will be doing short blogs for all of my tattoos including the addition of beautiful color to the current ones. The tattoo was done by an awesome artist by the name of "Bulldog". He is a fucking badass of a dude in Brooklyn with some of the sickest artistic talent I've ever seen. His instagram is @bulldogtattoosny and his work is absolutely incredible. (Def click here ^ to check him out)

Now for the MUSIC Update!!

On the Band side of things, Kill the Standards is trying to haul ass! But the powers that be are trying hard to stop us from finding this mysterious God level bass player from the mountains of Olympus who shall come wielding a bass out of the mouth of a volcano. Even with weeks of auditioning already experienced... (or not, ... for the flakes) we are sure to prevail in our search. Because we have a 6 song soundtrack to a movie that is already done and due to be released very soon. Because this opportunity accompanies a live performance at the red carpet unveiling for the movie itself and awesome steps for us to play out way more. YES we are also going to be doubling as a band who plays full cover sets.(Led Zeppelin, MUSE,Paramore, The White Stripes to name a few) in between our own shows. SOO much more until we literally die. Die playing our shows, because we are committed to playing as much as possible with no fux given.(no pressure)

And so because the the world will not allow us anything other than ultimate greatness from this future player, we wait..

The band.. not the baby..

waiting.

On the SOLO SIDE OF THINGS

I acquired the first mix of my First Official Single, :'D

and I am absolutely just overwhelmed with excitement. It has acoustic guitar, beautiful Piano, some heartwarming vocal melodies and harmonies that I hope you will all appreciate as it proceeds to melt your hearts into puddles of emotions you forgot you had. There is an awesome but loong process within releasing a song correctly and maneuvering through many hoops to make sure it comes out great and has the best impact. I will delve and display my process with video and text blogs into what it really takes, the hurdles and challenges into what you can expect when taking these steps. You awesome folks reading will get first dibs at getting my song a good time before it debuts to the public.

In these times, the only option is to reach 2 legit. As a Music artist, as a Guitarist, a Composer, a Singer/songwriter, a Person, a Warrior and a Righteous being, all these hats point towards becoming 2 legit. 2 legit to quit. Because spending your life not chasing your dreams is not a life I want to live. It is way too short and precious for that. So I strive. To grow and learn and constantly reach new heights. I wanna climb and show you all it's worth the climb. We can come up together and enjoy the view.
