George's rad film tattoos

Monday, July 16, 2012

Lucky for me, there is truly an Austin contingency in SF right now. Yesterday, our friend George arrived for one month to do some graphic design contract work for Eric and Rene's new job.

George is seriously one cool dude. He has this old ice cream truck that he turned into a coffee truck called Motor Oil Coffee in Austin. The truck is complete with dancing coffee cups painted on the side, like in those old concession stand trailers before the drive in movie. In fact, George was going to bring his coffee truck to our wedding to serve lattes as a test run for debuting at sxsw, but the brakes on the truck went out on the way to the venue! No harm done; he and the truck ended up safe somehow! Now I just tease that we'll have a rain check for an anniversary party. :)

Anyhow, he's a media production professor at St. Edwards University and check out his rad tatts! I love the subjects (Hitchcock and Truffaut) and colors, which are much vibrant in person.

He explained that Truffaut's right eye is a little off from a stick that poked him the arm and was sticking right out of the poor director's eye. That made me think of the epic eyeball splinter scene from 1970s Italian horror flick, Zombi (this movie also has a zombie wrestling a shark under the ocean--see it!).
