Teddy Bear Blues

10/9/09 the Inked version just came in and looks awesome!

Bong is working hard on the sketches and I just love how this one has turned out. I can't wait to see it inked, it will look fabulous.Here is one of the first options Bong came up with. We decided that a more youthful appearance was needed(along with a different expression). Bong is kickin' some arse on the new sketches, make sure you checkout his blog.

Too many conference calls lead to... fun!

The Legends of Poker

Andy Bloch and myself - Andy is hands down one of the coolest, nicest and most genuine poker pro's playing the game today.....not to mention, he is a Helluva a Poker Player!

The Godfather of poker himself - Doyle Brunson.

John Juanda and Carlos Mortenson

Ummmm.....quite possibly the World Series 2009 Main Event Champion, Phil Ivey. I got a souvenir from Phil, he thought I was some sort of crazy.

Say what you want about the guy, but there's no denying he is one of, if not thee greatest, Holdem Tournament Poker Players in the world EVER - Phil Hellmuth.

Humberto Brenes

Sadly, I did not take any pictures with Chris "Jesus" Ferguson. I was lucky enough to be seated with him and I was utterly shocked at how many people asked for pictures and autographs while he was trying to play. I guess there is no such thing as common courtesy when you're a celebrity.
