Shintaro's New Tattoo

Last year I made a post about my friend Shintaro and his tattoo that was personally drawn on him by actor Johnny Depp (to view the post click here). Shintaro decided to get a new tattoo recently and this time I was the lucky one he chose to design it. He wanted to get the phrase "Less is More" written on his arm, I wrote it out in a few different styles, got some feedback from him and we went from there. The phrase has a special meaning to him relating to his company and the fact that by keeping it small he gets to maintain creative control as opposed to selling out to a larger corporation.

The kid on the right pulled down his pants at a urinal in the bathroom, then turned to his left and proceeded to pee all over some random guy's leg. I started laughing uncontrollably which I don't think the man found amusing. The kid then ran out with his pants still down, I gave chase and was able to snap this photo as his brother rushed over to assist. I then fled the scene.

Japanese town in "The Cove" setting dolphins free

About a month ago I posted the trailer for The Cove, a documentary movie about the town of Taiji, Japan, where dolphins are slaughtered yearly for their meat. I was lucky enough to check this movie out while I was back in the states last month, some of the footage is downright shocking. Well it appears the global backlash the fishermen of Taiji have received since the release of this film is taking its toll. An article was just released stating that some of this year's catch of dolphins will be released. Here is the link to the entire article:
