Horiyoshi III… I want an engraving by the one and only…

By Jarod DeAnda, July 23, 2010

Horiyoshi III or Horiyoshi The third as he’s known honors the past and lives in the now, you look at his work and how he works and it’s just awe inspiring, at some point in my life I’d like to receive a tattoo from Horiyoshi III… I’ve known about him for years and now the Hypebeasts are up on it… oh well

Here’s a couple images and also a video from Nowness that interviews and captures the words and actions from this legend…
Also for more info on him pick up the book by another legendary tattooer Juan Puente Horiyoshi III

His detail, colors and then the free hand with the machine is just a thing of beauty…

On my flight out to Tulsa I met a cool mother daughter, Amelia is the young daughter and can’t remember moms name but they were coming back from a fun trip in NYC… They gave me aisle seat and I gave them my last Twix bar…

Arriving in Tulsa, OK I rendezvous with the Vaughn Gittin Jr. Smoke Show crew at Baker St. Pub to a very drunk “Gay” Andy…

So drunk he started dancing and was joined by drunken girl to dance…

Headed to the track I SEE THIS!

Speaking of INCIPIO I laced Vaughn Gittin Jr. with a new INCIPIO Feather case for his new Blackberry…

Late Breaking news….Send It! “Voice of Formula Drift”

By Jarod DeAnda, January 12, 2010

2010 marks the 7th year of Formula Drift Championship and as much as I cant believe Formula Drift has grown to the point it has I can believe it…
Thanks to Ryan Sage and Jim Liaw none of this would be possible for giving me and many drift competitors the platform to compete, grow and show the country and even the world the best drifting sanctioning body, FORMULA DRIFT onward and upward, all killer, no filler!

I was humbled on Monday Jan 11 2010 when a short 2 minute piece was aired about me being the “Voice of Formula Drift” and me in general, thanks to Aaron Gaghagen for reaching out and producing the piece, did a great job…
Like I say “Actions speak louder than words, I just put an exclamation point on it all!”

Enjoy and let me know what you think:

Here’s the piece as it aired on 3TV with the bumps in and out, mentioning something I haven’t announced yet… X Games….
