Sorry i haven't been posting, its been a rough week a very rough week. Marcel accidently poured Alcohol down my $2500 Macbook Pro... this would be the second time my laptop has been destroyed... (R.i.P. Black Book) mannnn these macbooks ain't cheap and they sure don't cover liquid damage. THEN my brand new put together skateboard got jacked last night because my coworker was over-ran by customers.... I guess i shouldnt get mad and just thank the lord that i have sponsors, and money to afford things like this and am able to replace them.

Dan Tague Money Prints

Dan Tague’s Statement about the work:

“The appeal and power of money are the issues at the core of this series. In a capitalist society cash rules everything. Society teaches us that you can buy love, happiness, and status through possessions. You can even right wrongs by taking away a bit of someone’s happiness through fines and lawsuits. Politicians buy votes through claims of lowering taxes, in other words letting us hold on to a little more of status… upper, lower, upper-lower class. Income tax, sales tax, and property tax all fund the war on terror, war on drugs, war on poverty, war on morality, etcetera. In fact our consumer pursuit of happiness is the cause and solution for all of these wars.”

Only part of his statement about the prints. A couple more prints and you can read more here:

Wishful Thinking: Aston Martin 2010 Elite LMV/R

2009-08-10T10:36:00.000-07:00

The new Aston Martin 2010 Elite LMV/R have just been released and for speedsters who are looking for something with more oomph in the drive, these rides will be produced in a street legal version in a limited run of 30. The Elite LMV/R body is crafted from carbon fiber, thus lighter than the original factory Vantage. Other changes include black 20-inch rims, lowering springs and sports mufflers with tips. For those interested in rolling around in the Elite LMV/R sporting 4.7 L V8 engine, they can custom order their car with any color offered by Aston Martin. The package price is estimated at $173,000 plus the cost of Vantage.

I know i'm two days late but i have to extend my love to a GREAT person. Although we haven't hung out much lately.... Meranda was my first REAL friend when i moved out this way. She saw me wandering through the High School alone on my first day of school, she personally stopped me introduced herself then introduced me to her crew which then became a small little family at school! All tho many of those friends have faded away, you can't beat true friendships. I cherish the our friendship & thank you for being SO CHILL!
