"So, who was it? Latoya?"

Much to the despair of News Casters, Editors at the National Enquirer, and fans of weirdo's everywhere; Michael Jackson was pronounced dead on June 25, 2009. Most find this a "tragic" loss and just as many are outside of his L.A. home right now crying. But lets think about this situation on the bright side people. Now that Jackos dead his celebrity status will hit a new all time high. The man was doing horrible with his music and, well, his entire lifestyle. He went shit-nuts. Now with his sudden dead people will remember him more as an iconic pop star, instead of the reputation for being the weirdo he was in his final years. Anyway, Michael was cool, at least little Michael was, and were all gonna 'miss' him. RIP Moonwalker.

"Lil Wayne's Needed"

My friend sent me this picture today. I don't know what's weirder about the ad, the fact that you can be a Jewish Red-Head and still be Lil Wayne, or if its that fact that you can trick your blind son that it actually is Lil wayne.

"Lost Bike"

Gene got his bike stolen last night. Apparently not locking your bike in a dark alley way in Savannah, GA is completely acceptable. 

"Banksy vs. Bristol Museum"

"Forbidden Fruit"

Stumbled upon this incredible new sun-screen today. It's getting hot down here in the south.

"Land of the Freak"

"Home is, well, in the Northeast"

I recently came home for a few days before going back to Savannah. I got off the plane and had an immediate feeling of needing a winter jacket. Who knew it was gonna be god-awful weather up here? Anyway while here I wondered through all of my old junk they I had forgotten about while in Savannah. Childhood skateboards, magazines, original artwork, you name it and I found it while home. 

Original Stencil Work from HippoH

Childhood ode to Ed Templeton 

Rocky would be proud of this original pressing.

Years old work from E3PO

Old Halloween witch that used to be strung up by fishing line and "flew" above the front lawn during my childhood.

"Where have all the Good Times Gone?"

"...On the Edge Of the Desert..."

Over a year ago E3PO created an ode to Dr. Hunter S. Thompson and Ralph Stedman. The piece of art has been sitting around for awhile now collecting dust, but now in the next few months will be created into the newest edition of the Pawn Shop Clothing T-Shirts. 

"DUI"

Stumbled upon this picture today while cleaning out my computer. I have recently come to love the Savannah Sheriffs Department's use of online mugshots. Sorry Chandler.

"Ed Templeton"

Ed Templeton's work has always been inspiring in my work in illustration. Growing up skateboarding and, now, having that dream of being a "professional" have gone out the window, I still look up to his art work and his gross, sometimes satanic drawings. So this post is for you Ed Templeton. "It's a celebration, bitches" - E3PO

"The Way I Walk"

The Cramps in 1978 played a free concert for the mentally insane folks over n the Napa State Hospital. 

"The Confusing World Of E3PO"

E3PO's sketch book work is usually a messy, dirty, confusing, and un-organized bible of his work. Knowing how upbeat and fun of a person E3PO is his drawings I have always found to be a bit dark and sometimes creepy. He allowed me to take quick photos on my computer of some of his work to put on the blog. 










 He is currently working on a few pieces he is going to call, "E3PO's Journey through MASC". Since changing tag names for almost a year from E3PO to MASC to help conceal the identity of E3PO, he is now back in action under the artist name of E3PO. The pieces he is working on all consist of large scale watercolor, graphite, ink, etc. based around cartoon-ish characters all consisting of different faces, situations, and most importantly masks (MASC's).
