Life as I know it..............

Where to start....... My name is Wes Kephart. I am 28 years old next week. I was raised in nipomo California, which is odd because now it is apparently one of the most desired places to live in the world, but when I was growing up there it was a one gas station town, and not much has really changed in my opinion. We never had anything to do so my old man taught me how to build things and cars, I was pretty much on a motorcycle by the time I could walk. Dad used to take me to race circle track quads, which I was never any good at. I still remember sitting in the passenger seat of his car, doing burnouts down the street, and going to watch him race his drag boat........... Pretty cool way to grow up now that I look back on it. I started out doing finish carpentry for a living right out of high school. Ive worked on almost every street,, I can literally drive up and down this whole coast area and stop and say, " I helped build that." Its a cool feeling. Ive always been very into art, and about a year and a half ago I set out to apprentice for tattooing, and Ive never looked back since. I walked away from a 3 bed room house that I owned for it. Bert Krak said in an interview I read, ' If you love it, fuck it, give everything up for it. I did." which is the saying that sometimes keeps me going... Sink or Swim tattoo is where I hang my hat, come in and get a tattoo from one of the guys, and soon by me. So,,, this is what brought me to my blogging, my art, my life, my family. I am engaged to be married this July, and I can honestly tell anyone that reads this, I am with the woman of my dreams, working in the shop of my dreams, and pursuing my dreams. My lady is a 5'7!!!!!! bombshell beauty that is just as smart as she is beautiful. She can take my most fucked up day and put a smile in me quicker than zap! I've never met a person more well rounded than her, and I knew I wanted her the first time I met her. 3 years later and many late night conversations about life, and the fact that it shouldnt be taken advantage of, we are absolute best friends, lovers, and partners in piracy. She can take a whole room full of people and make them all smile as she walks by. She is pure magic. I've loaded up a few pictures of paintings and my wife for you to see, please enjoy. From here on out my blogs will be much more short and to the point, I will be using this sight to load paintings, drawings, pictures of what makes me tick with small explanations, mindless garble really. If you enjoy it please let me know and I will make the next one better. thankyou for stopping by. If you would like to have something painted please email me here, and we can work it out.
