Mont St. Michel

i don't know why this is not one of the 7 wonders. it is just incredible.

walking and climbing through this place is like a video game, very surreal

a very little painting i did few years back and i never had photos till now

...fuck yeah, these cars look so cool!

...so i guess i found paradise, great thing it was my brothers birthday! the only better if it was mine. incredible place, and yes, there was around 1400 bottles of whiskey, we had  a 38, 32 and many over 20yr olds.  outside of very FEW things i have never tasted juice this good.  good thing it was Euros because it was like monopoly money.  happy birthday Pete!

so here's couple days in amsterdam so far, nothing exciting just hanging with my brother, it's his birthday

TRAVEL PLANS

....CRAZY.....

...crazy last few days, edmonton as always fruitful and fun, client came in to get a small chrysanthemum on the back of his neck and we started his shoulders cover up and are talking about the whole back, now that's promising. also started a great tiger half sleeve but bad pictures, and had lots of fun with friends before i left.

Got into calgary and got into some crazy shit right away (pictures will come later)...

the best waiter ever! in a country where you can't get what you want and you take what they give you... this man took care of all my needs, including a raw egg on top of my pizza, jam on the side and everything else i wanted which i don't remember since the wine flowed like a river, so he got some knuckles done as a tip, awesome.
