Lighthouse Supply

Holy shit, Its been a minute!

Damn I cant believe its been almost 6, no wait 7 weeks since I last made a blog post... well actually that makes me very happy, as it means i just didn't have time...

I have been a very busy man over the last 6 weeks, for 4 of those weeks I was entertaining and road tripping around South Africa with Thomas Morgan (L.A) and Shon Lindauer (N.Y.C)

This was a very eye opening and inspirational trip, inspirational to make shit happen and get on the map, I think driving through South Africa in my beat up Renault I realized

how far off the map I am, but not just me there is more to it... or do i mean less? fuck I'm not sure, but i am sure things are changing, and its the cliche of "get the fuck on or stay behind", far behind. But more on this later... full write up on this coming ASAP with photos

Lighthouse Supply... I have a new website ready to rock, i just need to allocate the time to finish it off with loading the products ... this will all happen soon.

I have Stencil Stuff on the way!! if anybody wants some hit me up, read good prices, and I mean REAL good. Lighthouse is a Authorized dealer. 8oz and a new 4oz bottle available!

Jo'Burg 8 - 14 September

So this is a little over due...

Jo'burg was a rad trip, refreshing and accommodating...
Sucks that i left my camera in Cape Town, so it will be pretty much a picture-less post, got a couple of dodgy phone pictures I'll post

I spent most of my time with the Crew from Golden Tiki and Spooky Tattoonz and Handstyle Tattoos, I was meant to get around to the new 1933 Custom Tattoos for a exhibition but for some reason I was mixed up with the dates/days and it didn't work out. bummed.

I cruised around with Ryan "Busta" Bolton most of the time, what a rad dude, between his tow shops, Spooky Tattoonz being his private studio at 44 Stanley in Mill Park and Golden Tiki a new shop in Linden, we tattooed, we talked tattoos, we hanged out, fed his 13 tarantulas, YES 13 FUCKING SPIDERS! awesome. Drank ridiculous amounts of tea, just the way we like it. (thanks Chelsea!) and met rad new people
The two nights that we went out, both nights where free parties, yes free parties, in other words, no cover, FREE DRINKS.

1st party was the album launch for some band, hosted by Iron Fist Ink at The Zone in Rosebank... it was amazing to see old friends and acquaintances, the amounts of free beer consumed was insane.
2nd party was the jo'burg launch of Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry... this was out of hand, free rum, again and lots of it, needles to say we got pretty rat faced... good times... good people...

I spent some time with the dudes from Handstyle Tattoos, and got tattooed by Ross. good guys with a rad shop in Emmarentia, Shop 2 Sandella Court, Cnr Thomas Bowler & Olifants Road, opposite the Johannesburg Botanical gardens. If you are in the area check them out.

Further Jo'burg was filled with business orientated stuff that i wont bore you with...
Here are a couple of pics I took with my phone seeing that I left my camera in Cape Town...

Rum and Ribs and a damn good Flick

BEFORE

AFTERMe Breaking Shit

So last night was the Cape Town launch of Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry...
Needless to say there was rum... flowing freely... there where free ribs... rum does make you hungry...
Anyway, it was a rad event, seems the launch was targeted at the tattoo industry which was a stand out, normally when a icon of a era gone by becomes a brand, they target these kind of marketing events at corporates, not actual consumers... this alone I think got a 9 out of 10 in my books.

The flick was truly rad, Norman K. Collins really did lead the way and he did sure live the dream. I would like to watch it again.
All the peers and people, I and allot of guys in the local industry look up to where glued to the screen, was really good to see the stoke on everybody's faces...

Afterwards the rum kept on flowing, I might have had to much but I dont care it tastes so good I would brush my teeth with it...

Thanks to Sailor Jerry for a rad event and Special thanks to Sonja for putting it all together.

There are some bad things I would like to say about some people at the event that said stupid shit about how bad Sailor Jerry's tattooing was?? but lets keep it clean, shall we? its not like the tattoos that they commented on where done 50+ years ago...
