Fplus Never

Something majik this way comes.

August 4th, 2009

As usual, things are crazy busy around the fplus compound. been working very hard on some upcoming projects that I can not yet officially announce, not to mention a tremendous amount of commission work again this month. I’m fortunate enough to only take on commissions for pieces that I would actually enjoy, unlike a tattoo artist that ends up having to do tiring dragonflys or tribal when they really want to do something unique.

With all the commissions and freelance work, it’s been hard to do any pieces for myself, but I did manage to commit to a show here in Phoenix, that opens this Saturday at a graffiti shop called Just Blazed. Of course, I’m referring to the highly anticipated munny grubber show.

Some great artists in this line up, including my good friend, Jake Tong’s return to vinyl figures. he was recently excommunicated to Portland, and decided to become a portlandian bike fiend, but i managed to convince him to throw his hat in the ring on the show. He’s a very talented guy! Also, If your up in the OR, get a tattoo from him! www.jaketong.com

From the pieces I’ve seen so far, this is going to be a solid show, especially for a munny show where there tends to be a fair share of slap dashery normally, this show is shaping up to be probably one of the best of it’s kind!

I’ve had my piece for it done for about two weeks. I’ve been sitting on the pics and its been driving me crazy! So I finally decided it’s time to put them out there. I give you, “The Black Majik Codexian”:

A little back story for you:

Codexians, are the keepers of all books pertaining to majik, forever entombed in giant monasteries, they write all major scripts and spells of their discipline. Due to their comprehensive knowledge, they are believed to be some of the most powerful mages in the world, becoming masters of almost everything there is to know of their breed of majik.

Ikwell Shadeos, is a current codexian of Black Majik studies. A descendant of over a thousand year lineage of codexians. Although he is young, he is aa talented and ambitious mage, so wrapped up in his studies, that he himself is a walking spell.

I must admit, I am particularly proud of this piece. And more importantly, I will be exploring this theme much further with my future works. i have always enjoyed the mystical and the enchanted, but wanted to create something that stepped away from traditional fantasy elements. I will definitely be putting out more things from this realm. So I look forward to hearing what people think of it so far.

Lastly, I should have a 5 figure line up available in my webstore at the end of the month. It became delayed, but i’m really looking forward to getting them up soon! I’ll give you a hint, these pieces will rock your face off.

That’s all for now, I’ll post more soon. If anyone can make it to the show, stop by and say hi! I’ll be the tallest sumbitch you’ve seen all day!

Stay classy San Diego,

Stay cool Arizona,

Stay young Jake Tong.
