I have to agree the ring is amazing. And I also love the Itami no Namida watercolor with the torn edges and killer technique.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Here is something new I am doin right now on the site. I put it in the "FOR SALE" thread also, but thought this might be better. Enjoy.

"So I got the OK from Brian and I am happy to post this up here. I am currently taking pre orders for a work shirt for the customisers out there. Here are a few images and a link to the page. Please let me know what you guys think. There is also going to be a surprise to random 5 people that orders at the end. Hope you guys like it.

Just wanted to share a WIP. I can't wait to finish this guy. Hope you guys like it.

real nice. you should put this one on a shirt.

very nice, Hiro. is this one getting the ink treatment or are you still using water color?

Thanks Vombie. This one will be the ink treatment. Don't want to mess it up with watercolor on this one. Just the old black and white with a little dots.

So today I tried to see how block printing was like and all I can say is that it's totally fun. I may have to try and do something with this. For now here is a experiment piece I did..something simple..enjoy

Nice work Hiro, I think this is a direction you should continue on !

Thanks LASH. Deffinetly something I am getting more interested about doing. Tomorrow I'm planning on getting more of these blocks and see what I can do with them.

Just got picks for the deck and dude.....wantted to share with everyone!!!! KILLER!!!!

Here is something I did for a board member. It's a concept art that will be carved out of a block and hand printed. Hope he likes it.

^That's so fucking sick.

The new concept sketch. The first one was a no go but I hope this one is good. I still like drawing it. It helps me learn.
