Still reaking of Havoc

The Havoc campaign is coming along nicely. The owner/operator has been a good guy to work with and so far seems to like the designs I put in front of him. We are nearly finalized on one design and may be working towards producing gear shortly.

Here are a few new design ideas.

Graffiti Design in progress





I have been working on some design ideas lately. I'm working on techniques to get drawings from paper formatted to print ready designs. I like the idea of having something I drew up wandering around some stranger halfway across the country. One of my first graffiti alias names that I drew was Havok. I haven't written that name in years and recently I found an upstart designer running a clothing company called Havoc Concepts. It's been fun to get back to writing this name.

Abstract Painting Study



I love painting abstract because the final product can be four totally different peices. This latest peice is an example. If you have a painting on your wall for months or years at a time, you can lose interest in it. Rotating it allows you to constantly have a sense of progress, or change to keep you interested.

Telecaster - the new pup

Say hello to the newest addition to the Toomey Family.

"Telecaster" (Tele) was born 6 days after the wedding and is primarily black lab with a little bit of husky in her.



Leo Fender developed the Telecaster in the 1940's and has since became a legendary guitar. Used to record the first Zeppelin album, below you can see a young Jimmy Page work his violin bow in "Dazed and Confused."

Another very famous Tele slinger is Mr. Keef Richards, below.
