I’ve never listen to a whole lot of her music over the years, but have always paid attention to her in my peripheral. I love daring woman with aggressive fashion sense and a point of view.

Tupac is one of the reasons I feel in love with Hip Hop/RAP in the early ’90. I grew up in the struggle he spoke about, shit I identified with directly. 3 mins in on this video, on the real, aside from details of color obviously. ”a hell of a job, to have to build and empire for your family” RIP Tupac Self Made Dues Paying
I like to follow people on Instagram for a few reasons: If they are one my dear friends, I want to see what is going on with their lives, constant pictures of their dog, dinner, baby, it doesn’t matter because they are a dear friend I love anything from them. Now everyone else… I like beautiful pictures, people, places, or things. I like creative captures, interesting and witty. I like beautiful women with tasteful pictures. I like cool quotes. I like good tattoos. Stuff like that. I’m just gonna do 5 this month, and do some more of my favorite’s and why later.
Here is my list of some of the best people to follow on Instagram, not necessarily this order.
1.timhendricks – Great tattooer, one of the best in the world. Pictures of black and grey tattoos, but does color tattoos perfectly also. Great human. Very dear friend. (552/132k/675)
2.xmanoelxnetox – One of my favorite people in the world, positive hardcore, straight edge, vegan, gentleman, and such a amazing tattoo artist, black and gray gangster or traditional. Super Pma from Brasilia. Dear Friend. (1386/6873/166)
3.tobymorse - The best example of a human, husband, father, friend, singer (H2O) Pma, straight edge, vegan. Cool photos from at home and on tour all over the world, A lot of musicians and Nikes, also pics from schools where he speaks to youth about positive living (onelifeonechance.com) (1465/13k/82)
4.iviwolf - This woman has such a nice visual eye for a classy picture. To me, her photos are a great representation of a classy lady. I like classy ladies. Great architecture, interiors, fashion and nyc photos. I don’t know her personally, although we did have a semi awkward/pleasant bump into each other meeting once as I was walking out of a store and she was walking in at the same time, we exchange pleasantries and went on our way. (4215/1461/223)
5.jasonnorton- Norton is a dear friend and is a very unique individual, with a great sense of humor, kind of his own brand of humor that grows on you the longer you know him. Amazing photos that are off from the “norm” perhaps best know for his Intersection photos. Also bull riding photos. (1243/1163/471)

I was just checking out my friend Tim Hendricks blog and found this gem of a video on our dear friend Dan Dringenberg and his company. He is a living legend, a great friend, and a great man. I have the utmost respect for this man. Take a minute and check out this short video. He is all heart and one of a kind.
After almost a year this sketchbook “The Rose Book” went to the printer. Thanks to Tim Hendricks and Guy Waisman for really helping me pull it together. For its grand release, I will be selling it at the Ink & Iron this year on June 7th, 8th, and 9th, which is a great place to pick it up and have it signed by some of the guys in it. It’s 100 pages and will go for only $80.00
Some of my friends include; Steven Huie, Chops, Tommy Montoya, Chris Garver, Morgwn Pennypacker, Mike Wilson, Daniel Abrigo, Horikitsune, Ben Grillo, and so many other legends.
I have the pleasure of calling this man a friend. Tito Deler aka “The Original Harlem Slim” enjoy these great shorts done by PF Flyers Authentic American Style
