At this age its everything

So here are some pictures of this past Saturdays Sweet 15, Im not too big on words but i do have to say that a lot of people really cared about this girl, and its showed why, by far one of the most energetic and happy persons i have ever meet being around this girl reminded me why our teenage years are some of the best years of our life anything and everything is fun.. less worries and a lot of troubles in school.. when in reality they don't mean anything but at this age its everything. I know understand why people dint understand me when i was at this age... I guess that's enough of words... Hope you guys like em if not let me know..

So Its April and well i just turn 24 on the 3rd, so i thought that i should take pictures of my self.. i really dont like pictures of me, just because I like to be behind the camera not in front of it. Its been a long wile since I'd had my picture
taken so i decided to do it my self. Its a lot harder to do this than i thought it would be, so i took out a measuring tape set my camera on a tripod, self timer and measured the distance from my camera to where i would be sitting. Well this is what i got from it.. this is me...

Rebel since day one

Rebel Air aka Jonathan Hernandez is an artist in OC, California. He started with graffiti in the streets of Mexico City and when he came to the States he noticed that you would get in a lot more trouble tagging walls. He still needed to express himself, so decided to pick up an airbrush and put the cans down, and now he makes unique art. I took some pictures of his artwork i hope you guys like his work and the pics...








Now that he does beautiful airbrush work, he wants to take another step as an artist, so he picked up a tattoo gun for his first time this past Thursday and here are some pictures of that..
here he's looking at his practice tattoo

The practice surface is a Pig ear that he keeps in his freezer


the outline

Here we have Jon in action and Luis Arias giving him tips on how to shade
