In honor of the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe I want to share my favorite fighting game graffiti. If you aren't familiar with it Fighting Vipers was a Sega game from 1995. It had a version of the Virgin Mary but with a boombox. I created a version of it almost from memory almost 15 years later.

I won tickets to see the original Mortal Kombat movie premier at Universal Studios. My little brother & I were first in line. We got a free soundtrack CD from KTLA 5. Cary Takagawa snuck in the back to watch with his kid. Before he snuck back out he signed my brother's CD. RIP Shang Tsung.

The missus asked for a traditional afternoon tea for Christmas so we went early to afternoon Tea at the Village in Long Beach. It’s a mother and daughter business. I dressed in my Zangief business suit. The missus in her Karl Lagerfeld. Be sure to check them out. #tea #longbeach #smallbusiness

Went with the missus to Knotts Berry Farm. The crowds were light, and we got to take in the holiday scenes. It should be on your list of places to visit this season. #knottsmerryfarm #christmas #themepark

I was thinking about going a piece for Transgender Day of Remembrance, November 20. There were many who died having faith in the same churches that cast them out. I pray they found peace in the form of the Christ they believed in. #transgenderdayofremembrance #faith #illustration #religiousart #art

This Universal Oswald watch was my grail item. The Japanese seller wanted $230+ on eBay OBO. He turned down my $180 offer. He also listed it on Mercari for $60. It's mine now. Moral of the story is don't be greedy. #universalstudios #oswaldtheluckyrabbit #oswald #watch #taito #arcade #collectable

Rad Mobile was an arcade racer that featured both a headlights, and wiper button. Racing through rain soaked roads felt much more dangerous than in any other title. It also marks the debut of Sonic the Hedgehog.
