Our local Pimp, Hi-Pitch Rich, had me put this AK-47 on his arm to fill up some available space. He liked it, I liked it...wicked.
...and this girl who raises horses had me design this tribal tattoo for her. It was her first tatty, and on her ribs...ouch!Source URL: https://bechikkethitek.blogspot.com/2009/
Over ten years ago, I was asked by the owner of a dumpster service to paint graffiti art on the dumpsters to give them personality, and make them stand out. Over the following years, the man who owned the business would become one of my closest friends. He had me paint over 25 dumpsters inside 3 years, and our dumpsters changed the look of the streets of this city by adding color and creativity wherever they were parked. I was almost never told what to paint, so most of the murals were straight from my head. Many of them are strange, to the point where I wonder if I made some of so weird just to make the average person scratch their head when they saw them. 
Skull and roses tattoo...badass...enough said!
This gentlemen wanted some of my pinstriping on himself, so we did this skull design on his ribs...ouch!Source URL: https://bechikkethitek.blogspot.com/2009/
I got a new mobile phone, and have been trying out the camera...here's some random photos...
I painted green realistic fire inside the racing stripe on my friends truck, I like the skull on the front of the hood...
Halloween is my favorite time of year. This is one of my neighbor's house. I like the ghost in the window that moves...nice!Source URL: https://bechikkethitek.blogspot.com/2009/
My mechanic, who's also a great friend, wanted me to start a hot rod themed tattoo sleeve on him. The first session was the Thrush Muffler "Mr. Horsepower" bird...
and this bird was put on a girl's foot who wanted a little sparrow that she drew. Nice.Source URL: https://bechikkethitek.blogspot.com/2009/
Here is a photo of a work-in-progress. Blue real-fire & skulls on a buddy's blue sport bike. I will post pics once it's cleared and assembled.

This "Lucky" lettering went on a fellow pinstriper's arm from here in PA...
and this woman wanted these special words on her wrist.Source URL: https://bechikkethitek.blogspot.com/2009/
While I was out in the city today, I found some of my old lettering jobs that I had done years ago. They still looked like new and were still doing their jobs well!

Recently I was asked to paint some lettering on the side of Tony Urbanick's new tattoo shop in Pittsburgh. I traded him for a set of his signature machines which I've been using for the past few days. The machines work great, and live up to some of the praise I have heard about them......Thanks again Tony!Source URL: https://bechikkethitek.blogspot.com/2009/
I'm currently touring the Northeast painting and tattooing. The fall has always been my favorite time of year for the northeast, and I'm enjoying the colorful changing of the leaves and cool temperatures. I'm doing tattoo work out of a friends shop, so if your in the Pittsburgh area and want some ink, contact me through this or my myspace page

here's some of the paint work I did this past weekend while at a Florida bike rally. I really enjoy decorating people's motorcycles, choppers, and trikes with striping, lettering, and graphics at these events. There are plenty of challenges while working in the field, like rain, wind, heat, and difficult customers, but it all makes the experience more memorable.

While painting at a biker event last weekend where Motorhead was the headlining act, we were approached by one of the bands crew to pinstripe and letter their kick drum head. It wasn't easy working outside in the field with such little time, but we did our best, and I think it turned out very nice. Spider painted the ace of spades and striping, and I did the lettering. Matt Sorum is filling-in for Motorhead's drummer on this tour, but he's the drummer for Velvet Revolver, and previously was a member of Guns & Roses and the Cult. It was my first time seeing Motorhead, and the show was badass! Afterwords, we got to hang out with the band and get some photos...

I haven't posted anything for a while because I've left Arizona and hit the road for a while. I'm currently working with my friend and fellow artist "Spider" Papa in Atlanta. We've been doing a lot of pinstriping and gold leaf work on lowriders, here's some examples...
