the figure in the drawing is shifty he seems to be doing and saying everything i cant or wont..kind of like living thru me ..if i want him to do he does..no questions asked...he also has deep meaning to me // his beginnings are simple i was drawing a tattoo for "home wrecker sera" it was blah a heart with wings and i was getting frustrated ..so i decided to put some music on ok now im groven the rolling tunes came on -sympathy for the devil or to the devil- i cant recall the name, but there is a line in there that says every sinner is a saint...a bell went off the calaca (skulls) in mexican culture represents the being coming back as comical character ...so shifty was born ..i removed the heart from the drawing and replaced him inside...perfect later i added the scar to the wings...making him more like me...hes symbol is the spade because i see it as a black heart flipped up side down....with a wedge driven thru it..but thats just me....so his name is shifty fidel del castaneda ...to be exact ..fidel after my grandfather not the cuban dictator..hes not always right but always granteed a laff.
