SEQUEL BREWING X EL TORO
So a few months ago, Matt from findingphilly.com hits me up to colaborate with him on his microbrew expedition and after a few talks we came up with the first batch EL BORRACHO.
Sequel Brewing is now born and the first batch is called EL BORRACHO. It's called Sequel Brewing because of the theme we chose for this is Rocky. This doesn't really illustrate that idea yet, but their are other beers in the works that will play on the Rocky villains.
The 2 turtles on the side top label are Rocky's turtles, Cuff & Link. and to tie in more to the rocky theme we set up an established Jan. 1st 1976. That was the date of Rocky's first fight.
EL BORRACHO is a Summer Wit brew. It has a dark golden color and the taste is bold and refreshing. It's super exclusive because this batch is limited to 2 cases. Don't worry though their will be a next batch.
Click on the picture to see more on my flickr stream.
Like Rocky were swinging till the end. Nothing can knock us out.
Thanks again to Matt for this opportunity and check out his flickr and blog here

¡Viva La Zapata!
Another canvas done this weekend. Been getting busy with some different style this time. I think its a blend between my previous techniques mixed with the new ones i recently learned. So far this has been my favorite peice, but it seems like i say that everytime i finish a new one. The next one is a strange one, that i really don't know what to do for just yet. Also i got a request to do a farmer toro with a pitchfork and corn. It's starting to shape up like "American Nightmare" painting dipped in acid in my head.
Also, many of you guys already know that toys are in production since 1 year or so ago. I just got word that the final sculpt we approved is now too big to mold. Now that leaves us back to square 1. I now have to redesign my sketch and make Toro built like a GI JOE. This means couple peices will be molded and then put together to build this behemoth. Stay tune for that cuz i think i'll start posting the process for any one who wish to know how this is done. It's been such a long task and to end up back to square 1 is a bummer. I am happy though that after this it should come out perfect and awesome. We're still shooting for a 08 release date. We'll see how that works out.
Leaving you guys with some sites for toys and just another shout out to my boys at Abakus.

ABAKUS TAKEOUT
These guys know how to do it right. I found out about this shop from my friend at http://www.findingphilly.com He actually blogged about it to.
From the outside you see ducks along with Nike SB and as soon as you get in the store you are greeted kindly and a whole new experience is upon you. They definitely thought about the details and made great use of their retail space. From the jeans in woks in the kitchen, laces in tupperware, takeout boxes and even the classic plastic food shots on the wall. It's definitely stands out from the other "street wear" shops in Philadelphia. Its only been 6 weeks since their doors opened and the hype is building up like crazy. They already got featured on the Action news tonight. Definitely do not sleep on this shop. Visit them now! They are super nice and trying to make a new mark in Chinatown. They have brands you haven't seen in Philly before and the shoe collection is gorgeous. You can visit them in here
227 N. 10th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19107
and visit them at http://www.abakustakeout.com You should check out their blog for some more tasty pictures of the shop.
sorry for the non links, just cut and paste

MAC N TORO
EL TORO wit Rob McElhenney "Mac"
Director,Co-Creator,Producer and also Actor in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"
his imdb
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0568390/
Philly in full effect here peoples! We knockin out chumps again and again!
ITS ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA
Possibly one of the most offensive and brutaly honest tv shows in a while and in the same time gut busting laughter. Little background for you non watchers, the characters are Dee, Mac, Dennis, Charlie and Frank, Dennis' & Dee's dad which is played by Danny Devito. The show is written and produced by all 3 and Mac directs some of the episodes along with Fred Savage. That's right, the dude from Wonder Years. It usually starts at the bar they own and then spreads out to the streets of Philly. Here's a clip from 1 of my favorite episodes where Dee ends up dating a rapper, but thinks he's mentaly retarded. So the boys feel like if he can do it, they can also be in a band.
Night Man
Day Man
They were shooting last Friday and couple flicks from the event will be posted soon.

sink or swim
Keep ya ahead afloat or go down where the sun dont shine and the creatures of the deep eat ya alive.
Been a rough couple weeks and this painting is pretty personal in a way where I think times are rough, all i gotta do is keep on swimming and stay afloat no matter what. The anchors in life will try and weigh you down to where you can't get back up, but all you gotta do is keep paddlin' and stay aflot.
part of a new series im working on. brighter canvases in the future when things turn around.
this is for sale. hit me up for any questions. eltoro215@gmail.com

Definitely need to pick this game up. Solid first player missions and so much variety between each one. Multiplayer is beyond awesome. This has definitely been tearing me away from some canvases. Nothing like unloading a clip at some one after good long work day.

Its suppose to be a funk inspired show and i know KISS isnt funk, but couldnt help juxtapoz the kiss make up in something bright and funky colors.

Bold and bright colors and can be picked up at www.junobopaint.com. Check the flyer for more info

No no...its not the peacock nbc
Workin on a new logo for some future projects and wanted to hear some thoughts and ideas to the public. This is just round 1 so more changes will be made if need be for round 2.

Currently, they have series 1 made up of Wolverine, Ironman, Spiderman and Venom. Venom is pretty bad ass with his attaching longer tounge and Wolverine got some nice adamantium claws. These will be the newest and hottest shit thats gonna be coming around. Designer looking, but very affordable. Its mass produced, but its the hardest to get a hold of these bad boys in the store. For 10 bucks you get an awesome looking toy and great packaging.

I fuckin love these new Star Wars Mighty Muggs. So far I only have a storm trooper and I bought it on a wim. Now im trying to find all of em except for the humans cuz their kinda boring looking. Storm trooper details are soo awesome! Vaders top helmet comes off and Boba fett has some crazy scratches and detail. Their also decently priced at 10 bucks over at Target or Toys R Us, but be warned they are quickly flying off the shelves. The 2nd wave of these are already out at Target, but the only really cool one with details is C3P0 but he is lacking accessories. Mace Windu looks bad ass though with his purple light saber. Get em while you can. Also, future note: these bad boys are very affordable to pick up and customize as well. If you see em in the store holler at me cuz i want the collection!

Movie Reviews
With a lack of internet at home and camera..i have to find things to post while im at work...
so u get movie reviews...
Across the Universe
If your young and a Beatles fan, this is the movie you wanna see. Not a fan of musicals really, but this was just a visual and auditory orgasm. So many things to keep you interested in every scene.
Im Not There
I wished i knew more bout Dylan to appreciate the movie. Had very weird parts that im sure if you knew more about Bob Dylan it would make sense. All around good acting though.
Dewey Cox
Hilarious movie, filled with some odd cameo's. Was a fan of Walk the line and this movie totally rips it off, but in an awesome funny way.
Rambo
kicking ass and taking names is what Rambo does. He is a killing machine! This movie rocks! You want to see people exploding, limbs getting cut and alot of machine gun turret action! He's old, but still can snipe you from 100 yards with a bow and arrow.

Homer J. Simpson 30 Years of Homer
Featured in last nights episode of the Simpsons. My all time favorite cartoon ever. The pass 2 seasons the writing on the Simpsons were getting really soft and sometimes repetitive. I'd chuckle and snicker here and there, but not my usual outburst of excitement and joy I usually do every Sunday night at 8. However, this season has been ridiculously over the top as far animation and production goes. Writing has also been alot better, although not hilarious, they have been touching on a lot of subject matter that the Simpsons are now maturing. Since the release of the movie this season has been revitalized and truly an exceptional season. It's come along way from the Tracy Ullman show to what it is now. I cant wait what they come up next. Matt Groening has said that the movie will bring the Simpons to the end, I feel that it did and rebirthed a new era of the Simpson empire.
