La Catrina
Saw one of my decks the other day all scratched up, to me it seems like the artwork is finally finished now with the 'skated on' texture.

Return of the Octopussy
This ended up being sold in a muted sepia to Juice for t's but i liked how the Rusty logo looked better in the eye..
2 years.. whoops
Its been almost 2 years since i did any serious updates on this site, however it still pulls all my ranking so i guess i better crank it up and keep going!
Here's 30secs of fury last night in Bondi.
..On another note, i now have a tumblr with possibly the largest collection of badass vintage motorcycle images ever assembled on one page. heavyrep.tumblr.com

Mad Daruma
Just for fun here is Daruma, the japanese version of the BohdiDharma after he meditated for nine years and lost his arms and legs, he is seen as a symbol of patience. Although he is famous for his staring fierce eyes.. i added a whole lotta unenlightened fury and rage, its never fun to lose your limbs.

Amnesia#1 Cronica Mexicayotl
The Coat of Arms of Mexico has been an important symbol of Mexican politics and culture for centuries. It was originally seen designed on the Cronica Mexicayotl as more of a "ying yang" or "burning water" symbol, but Spanish invaders tweaked the design to fit European Heraldic christian elements, which is seen on the mexican flag. This design is a return to the original version with the feathered serpent god Quetzalcōhuātl, creator of humanity. The eagle was a representation of the sun god Huitzilopochtli. The Cronica Mexicayotl is a chronicle of the Aztec empire that was written in the Nahuatl language (which ive written in the Nahuatl language on the scroll).
Amnesia#2 Santa Catarina
I kinda explained this in an earlier post, Our Lady of Guadalupe, a 16th century Roman Catholic Mexican icon mixed with the Aztec goddess Mictecacihuatl and Santa Catarina (it's current incantation). Catholicism merged with indigenous religion is often know as Santeria, the feathers and candles are from sacrifice rituals that are a part of Santeria life.
Amnesia#3 Zapata
Emiliano Zapata was a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution who defended the poor and indigenous people. Zapata has in the last few decades been recast as a quasi-religious icon as well, mostly within the "Zapatista"(EZLN/Mayan) communities, where he is called "Votán Zapata". Below is a EZLN Woman soldier wearing the Infamous red bandanna, the orange/yellow flowers and smoke are part of a "Dia De Los Muertos" to evoke dead souls.
Amnesia#4 Mistico
Mistico, a luchador, raised in the notorious Tepito district of Mexico City, has risen to a saint-like superstar status in Mexico, "El Corazon desenmascarado" translates as "The unmasked heart" A parody of the Sacred Heart, which is sometimes seen in Eastern Catholic Churches as a point of controversy and is seen as an example of bastardization from Western/latin Catholic church. Here its a Mexican cultural hybrid.
