#8/365 (close up/detail). 14x18 inches. 2011.

This sheet is a sheet that was offered from Zeis Studio years and years ago. I believe there are 22 in this particular series, and they are some of my favorites. This is the 5th one I have repainted, and I plan on doing a good amount more. Once I am done, I will be posting them all in their entirety.

#4/365. 12x24 inches. 2011.

This painting was much larger than the others I have done so far, and took far longer than expected. One thing I am trying to gain from this little project is to be able to work faster, and more efficiently. I paint pretty slow as it is now, and with the amount of painting I want to get done, there aren't enough hours in the day to accomplish it all.

A new year, a new project. Trying to do 1 piece of art everyday of the year (even though I make stuff on a regular basis already). It will vary from tattoo flash to stencils to who know what? I more than likely won't post all of them, but they will all be documented.

8x10 inches.

Let's see if I can keep up with this blog this year. Other new projects, art shows, etc. coming very soon.

Follow me on Twitter if you're not already @davidfloresatc or www.twitter.com/davidfloresatc

Happy New Year!

Got to do this one last night.

NEKO AND ADAM HATHORN.

2010-01-07T01:41:00.000-08:00

Got to go down and visit two good friends in San Diego today. First I checked out NEKO and Adam's new studio, then we went and hung with Adam at work for a little while. Here are some flicks of the spot.

Check out NEKO and Adam at the following addresses:

www.Honkeykong.com

www.myspace.com/slutsone

www.myspace.com/honkeykong

Buy stuff from them there. They always have art available at affordable prices, prints, and currently have scarves. Make a move!

Pretty intense sky on the drive there.

Adam's station at Guru Tattoo.

Cooper's station.

Rory's snake in a jar. I NEED one of these. Please?

Here are the Konger's scarves that are currently available. Holler at him for the info.

And here is a piece I finally picked up from NEKO. 15x15 inches. 'Hot Hand In A Dice Game".

Frankie Caraccioli ATC

2010-01-01T22:52:00.000-08:00

My good friend and co-worker Frankie Caraccioli is now a part of the ...as the collective family. His energy and creativity is welcomed, and I look forward to working on a lot of projects with him this year.

Check him out here:

He can also be found tattooing at Classic Tattoo Tuesday-Saturday. Contact him there for tattoo inquiries (909)949-7971.

(Tattoo he did on me.)

Quite a while...

2009-12-27T20:18:00.000-08:00

It has been over 3 months since my last post, for quite a few reasons that I don't really need to go into. I am now back, working on projects at a better pace, more determined and ready to work. Expect to see quite a bit of new stuff coming out, including shows, art, watercolors and tattooing.

Here are some fun tattoos I've done since my last post, most of which feel like I did ages ago.

RAEKWON-ONLY BUILT FOR CUBAN LINX 2!

2009-09-15T13:14:00.000-07:00

Late last year I was asked by Raekwon to work on his album cover to 'Only Built For Cuban Linx 2'. After a photoshoot with Raekwon and Neil Favila, we decided to use this photo. I tried to keep the cover close to the first Cuban Linx album. I was happy with the final product, and after a few months of going back and forth we lost contact with each other. I never got feedback for the painting, but feel that it would have worked well. So now I have this painting, and nothing to do with it. I have decided to release an extremely limited amount of 7 of these. The painting itself is 20x20 inches, painted on a 22x30 inch piece of watercolor paper. Please contact me if you are interested in this painting.

Thank you for your time, David Flores ATC

2009-07-10T12:42:00.000-07:00

I was supposed to finish this painting back in February, and put it on the back burner because I got really sick. I finally finished it up, and it is available for purchase.

Each painting is 24x36 inches, painted on a custom wood box frame (4 inches deep). It is limited to only 9 pieces (both colors combined).

Please let me know what you think. Please feel free to ask any questions.

Thank you again,

David Flores ATC

Negligence.

2009-06-25T10:06:00.000-07:00

I have totally neglected this blog in the last month or two, so this is going to be a long one, with everything from that time frame. I will try to stay on top of it now. I am sure it will last for at least a month or so.

Here we go. New tattoos since the last update.

Here are a few new tattoos that I have recently done.

ASON!

2009-03-26T23:17:00.000-07:00

I got a new puppy on Sunday. His name is Ason, and he was 9 weeks old when I got him. He's a boxer, and still has his tail. Possibly the only boxer on the block with a tail, but I told him there's nothing wrong with being different.

A few new tattoos.

2009-03-26T23:12:00.000-07:00

I've done these in the last couple weeks.

(Watch out for Uncle Matt.)

Preparing for CSUSB.

2009-02-25T19:56:00.000-08:00

I have pretty much been in the lab non-stop after and before work, working on some new stuff for "The Writing Is On The Wall", an art show at CSUSB I am in on March 7th. Here are some pictures of one I am working on. See if you can guess who it is.

New tattoos.

2009-02-25T19:44:00.001-08:00

Did this one last week.

My friend Lizz got her first one, finally, and I only added this cause I know she'd hate me if she saw it.

I let my friend Branded tattoo me. It was his first one, and did not feel very good. Well, no tattoo feels good, but this one really didn't feel good.

Art show in San Francisco tonight.

2009-02-14T09:24:00.000-08:00

Art shows this weekend in Pomona, CA.

2009-01-27T13:04:00.000-08:00

Here are the 2 prints that I did for the 'Printed' show at Crewest. They are actually all hand painted on paper.

This one called 'Ason Unique 1', and 25 were made. They are 18x24 inches, and are ready to frame. It is a 6-layer, 5 color stencil. This one is $30 shipped, or if bought with the 'Kristin Shortcake' print, is $45 for both, shipped.

This week I went out to Arizona to get my backpiece worked on by Mike Roper. Brian came out with me to get tattooed by our good friend Isaac Fainkujen. Both artists rule, and you should definitely try looking into either one of them.

Saturday, January 17th, 2009 events!

2009-01-14T13:23:00.001-08:00

Check out both of these events this weekend, if you get a chance. I will be attending both.

The Panthers Of Wrath, show 2.

2009-01-13T16:25:00.000-08:00

My first show of 2009 was a solo show and the first at Galeria C/S, located inside of GCS in Pomona, CA. It was a great turnout and a fun show. MC Supernatural, who I am doing these shows with, stopped by to bless the crowd with some freestyles. If you have any video footage or photos from the show or of Supernat, please email me at asthecollective@gmail.com. Here are a few I took.

I will have more photos up, once I get them.

Next month I am in a group show at Bunny Gunner Gallery in Downtown Pomona. Check it out if you can.

The new year has arrived.

2009-01-01T09:42:00.000-08:00

2008 came and went pretty fast, and we now look to 2009. I feel like 2008 was a productive year, but in 2009, it's time to up the ante. I am already working on new pieces for the continuation of my current series, 'The Panthers Of Wrath'. My first show of 2009 will be held at GCS, in the opening show of their new gallery, Galeria C/S, and will feature these new works of my Panthers series.

I hope to be able to stay on top of the updates with this blog in the new year. I have a few other art shows coming up, and will post the fliers once they are ready to go. Look for many other projects and collaborations from myself and friends in 2009. Good luck to everyone in the new year. I have a feeling it's going to be a good one.

Testing. Check 1 2. Testing.
