Montreal calling.

After all those years in Geneva, after all those good moments tattooing and playing music, and all those good memories, I decided to leave this town for a while.

I’ve been travelling quite a lot those past 2 years, and it’s time for me to set up again and start a new life.

Last summer, spending some times around Canada, I’ve been very impressed about the kindness of the citizens, the energy, and the devotion peoples out there are putting out into art and music. It’s seriously amazing.

It was for me a great source of inspiration and motivation.

As I came back I realised right away I didn’t really belong anymore to Europe that much, even if it was good to see my closest friends and family. A part of me stayed in the other continent…

While I was on tour with Pj Bond, I decided to seize the day and take my chances.

Everything worked pretty well, and I’m actually really glad and happy to announce that, by the beginning of may, I'll be moving to MONTREAL Canada, where I’ll be working @ IMAGO TATTOO fulltime as a permanent artist.

It’s going to be a great experience for me, and I’m extremely proud to join this awesome crew.

Unluckily, friends and customers from Switzerland, I won’t be able to take new big projects, and I will have to do a tight selection for the smallest ones.

I don’t feel comfortable to start tattoos I won’t be able to finish.

And even if I’m planning to come back to Europe once in a while, and guestspot here and then, I have no clue about my schedule yet.

Please, contact me as soon as possible if I started something on you and you want to finish it or if you have a small good project.

Thank you all for your support and your understanding

Sincerely

Hey There,

Since I’ve been back home from touring, I’ve been crazy busy working and I took a little break for Christmas.

It was very refreshing, and I guess I’m back on the map, ready to work as hell.




The European tour with my good friend PJ BOND as been amazing. Saddly, we got stolen, as many bands on tour I guess, but that’s probably the only bad memories of one month playing shows, sharing good moments and music!

We had a blast!

Thanks a million to everybody who gave us a roof, a place to stay, some food, a place to play, and who were there to spend good times with us!

I can't give names, because you are a way too many, but seriously FRANCE, BELGIUM, THE NETHERLANDS, GERMANY, AUSTRIA, and of course Good Old Damn SWITZERLAND, you have been great hosts!

About the music, Here you’ll find great news:

- 1st , my record is finally ready and on it’s way, it should be out on GPS PROD & SHIELD RECORDINGS for March. I’m really happy with the production, Serge MORATTEL @ REC studio did an amazing job! It’s going to be a beautiful 12 inch record with the cd inside. I seriously can’t wait, it was about time!

- 2nd, I had the chance to meet last year sir Lino Pacino who just did for me and Pj, some videos from our show in Zurich, a pretty cool interview, and great photographs of us! You can check this out on his website, and on his blog. Everything is not ready yet but there is already a few things. In any case, every pictures and movies are cool to watch on his blogs.

- 3rd, I just came back from a shooting for a video clip with Sir DAVID BASSO, a great producer, camera director, photographer and such good dude! You can watch his work here! He took the first picture of this post. So, We spent 2 days and one night shooting in beautiful no man’s land places, close to VALENCE in the middle of France! We worked hard, had good talks and good food with his family! The rough shots are seriously crazy nice! I can’t wait to see the video clip… If I have the chance, I will do it again. If you need some videos for anything, please, do yourself a favour, contact him here! You won’t regret it.

- 4th, I’m opening in Geneva on the 1st of FEBRUARY for one of the best FAT WRECK CHORDS’band: DEAD TO ME! The show is going to take place at L’écurie, 14 Rue Montbrillant, Geneva. I’m pretty stoked!

Well Folks, thanx for reading this, I’m back in tattooing right know! I missed it so much! Heading up to XXX TATTOO again alongside Rob Koss and the crew for a week! Let’s learn some new tricks.

Then I’ll be back to GENEVA, contact me for any tattoos.

Oh, and by the way, here is an interview we did for a fanzine in Belgium, while we where on tour with PJ BOND!

All the best for 2012, even if some peoples says that it’s going to be the end of the world. I guess for me this new year is just a new turn, the end of a story, but the beginning of a new one!

All the best folks!
