Paul came in last week and got me to zip this lil flower on him. Always stoked when Paul comes in cause he lets me draw what I want the way I want. Too rad Paul.

Quick lil sketch, would love to tattoo it.

Super fun lil zap on Dee.

The other day I spotted a gentleman walking around town with a WWE title belt, how could I let that go unnoticed.

Things couldn’t be better. I love this time of year. Summer starts pokin’ it’s head out just to let you know the warm weather is around the corner. On that note, I have taken up a new hobby – 4×4′n in my Jeep. Look for some gnarly muddin’ pictures to make their way on the site soon. With the weather warming up, the shop has been busier. Lots of cool people bringing fun ideas to me. Looking forward to a great summer. Let’s hope that the season upon us will be bountiful and well weathered. Take care and thank your for checking out Jamesbilt.com!

My older brother Sam just happens to be the best Barista around these parts (GTA).  He has recently set up his own coffee shop and business is booming! He owns and operates the aptly named Sam James Coffee Bar in downtown Toronto.  His shop sports classic checkered floors and a do-it-yourself attitude that screams, ‘I make great coffee.’ This is the real deal, brah. Check his site out and better yet, next time you’re in the downtown area for a stroll, stop in and grab a cup. You will be amazed by the atmosphere and product. He is located at 297 Harbord Street (between Clinton & Manning) in Toronto, Ontario.

So I started this lil’ fella a couple months back on Chris and have been excited to finish it ever since. I only get to work on it in short bursts but I am definitely stoked when I do. It’s a cover-up of an unusual arm band with a tree design in the centre. These photos capture the tattoo in the developmental stages. Thanks, Chris!

Some of us know what it’s like to be a small town tattooer in the dead of winter.  Things were pretty slow at the start of the week so I ripped this small Uncle Allan piece on Kevin. I especially enjoy doing these smaller traditional pieces when the art is as good as Uncle Allan’s.
