My Mystic Minion numero san! Let's call it Tikko. Tikko is having issues with this sudden hot weather. He's getting a rash all around his crotch area and the itch is making him furious! Dr. Moomta told him to apply some medicinal cream, but Tikko is just sick of listening to orders!

Thought I would share a special treat of what I won from Art Blocks for Ghana. Vincent Nguyen is a bad ass... PERIOD. I was fortunate enough to play some street fighter with him and his brother Peter (saigonRadio) when I was interning at Blue Sky almost two years ago. Besides the regular dosage of smack talks, he gave me some really good pointers on oil painting. His encouragement was one of the main reasons I picked up the portraiture oil class during my last year at Art Center, which in the end is the medium I have been focusing my personal work in. So owning this piece means more than just an awesome painting hanging on my wall... its my appreciation for everything Vince did for me. And of course being the highest $$$ of the entire auction, I have to show this off :) But there goes my spending allowance for the end of this year... I'll just be eating top ramen, drinking water, rock climbing, and playing mvc3... and thats not a complaint!
