Day one in NYC and we made a pit stop over at The Metropolitan Musuem, in Manhattan.

This is just one of NY’s many jewels, but a lot of locals and the homies from Jersey included, have never stepped foot into this place.

First time for everything….aside from it’s impressive collection, the real great part about this museum is it’s architecture and overall space. Aside from the Getty, no other musuems back at home can compare. Take a look…..

The homey Freddie Gibbs came through to plot the next project. Stay tuned…

We took a stroll over to visit friends at the recent Hollywood  convention off of Highland. Take a look.

The brothers Abey, and Klown hard at work representing the LT family ……

You might recognize some of his work in the recent Tattoo Life issue…..

And Klown, always holds it down. Take a look at a recent piece he worked on  Jeff~Blood Hound Irons below.

Right next door, it’s story time with Jack Rudy.

Moving along–the great Chuey stands unmoved……

Here’s a glimpse at a masterpiece in the works….

Then you have the photogenic tough guys….

Out of the corner of my eye I recognize somebody….

Big pops Baby Ray is posted with Oliver Peck showing off a recent illustration.

“IT IS WHAT IT IS” ~~( left side of skull )……….Yep

And finally, the spoils of war—the LT family takes the precious metals back home to add to the collection.

Look forward, more to come.

A final overview of Art Center. Take a look….

It’s a wrap. Let the real work begin….

The homey Mark came through to seal off his piece we started earlier.

We got a good start in beginning Mark’s collection. Keep an eye out for his future projects.
