Blue Snaggletooth @ the Savoy, Friday Sept. 3.

Blue Snaggletooth and 3 other cool bands will be rocking tomorrow at the Savoy in Ypsilanti.

First up will be Scissor Now featuring ex members of the Pussy Pirates and the Nothing.

Next is Suicide by Cop featuring your favorite 8 ball dynamic duo Jef and Nate blasting out hardcore jams.
...
Then Jehovah's Witness Protection Program come on strong to give you a heavy dose of their rock 'n' roll religion.

And finally Blue Snaggletooth will deliver on to you the sonic equivalent of the apocalypse.

You've been warned...

Psych Out Fest Recap with Videos

Howdy folks,

Back on July 10th I organized a show called the Psych Out Festival. It was a real cool time. Here is some cool video from the show. All the video was shot by Jonas Sliuzas. You can see more of his videos over on his youtube page.

Up first is my group Blue Snaggletooth.



Then we've got Tokyo Sexwhale.



This is Lava Moth.



And finally here is Chapstik.



There was one other group, The Wolfs, but their video hasn't been finished yet.

Big thanks to Jonas for filming the show and thanks to all the bands for playing. I hope to do this again next summer.

Building the Viper Mk II model, update.

Howdy folks. It's been a spell since I had time to blog so I thought I drop a little update on the model building. Here are some photos of the almost complete Viper Mk. II that I've been working on in my spare time.

I decided to paint the red stripes instead of using the decals. After 3 coats of gloss white, masking, and then 2 coats of red, the ship was ready to be assembled.


Here it is all pieced together. Everything fit well and looked sharp! Time for decals!


Some of the decals were a serious pain to apply. The one bellow the cockpit was tough for some reason. It was the only one that ripped on me.


After some effort I had all the decals on. Then it was time for the fun part, weathering! I started with a charcoal pencil. I haven't got much further then that yet. I just started adding streaks and blast marks. I plan on doing some ink washes soon as well as scrapes and dings. I'm dying to finish this project.




I took all these photos with my cell phone.
Hope you enjoy.
