Lots of traveling, stories and pictures!! With even more to come this year!!! Today I started updating the photography section and redid the whole suspension section. Combining stuff from an old suspension site of mine from 1997 - 2001 with this site to make a rad suspension corner for this site. Lots of stuff from Fakir's body play, Stelarc, time life books , personal expieriences and just lots of cool pictures from suspensions , public and private from the past 13 years. you might have to just hit your back button to get back to this site though..as i linked most stuff until i get it transferred to here .
4.21.08 Wow. so much h shappened last month. I visited 2 countries ive really been wanting to visit for some time, Guatamala and Honduras - n The ruins of Tikal and Copan in particlar. Amazing sculpture, art and feats of engineering. Im sure ill post some pics soon , as soon as i get things together and caught up with 'life'. Be on th elook out for an upcoming art and tattoo section as well as. So much in the works, ill get al of it as soon as i can.
2.5.08
Dear Internet, It has just been confrimed.. I will be working at the Monterrey, Neuvo Leon, Mexico convention this march 8 & 9. It will also be the kick off of the new import store, as well as the first public offering of all the goods seen on the merch page. Tapestries still to come!!!
1.29.08 Dear Internet, Its been a while.. been really busy. Got a site just for the imports in the works. I will give the URL when its closer to completion. Other than that, Trying to get my travel situation in stone for 2008. Looks like we will be moving to Italy in spring 2009 , so looks like there will be a trip there this year to get things settled, as well as a couple conventions in mexico, as well as a trip to Asia again this year.. lets hope. Been doing some cutting and drawing and am finsihing my tattoo apprenticship with Steve Godoy which is keeping me busy . Been doing some cool piercing stuff as well... That stuff is in the surface work section of the piercing section. Been playing around with idea of having a Scar blog on here to sort of do something on JUST scars and whats going on in my head .. but then agian i might just actually update my iam page more.. but i doubt it.. ok, ttyl -R
1.1.08 Dear Internet, 2007 is over and damn that was quick. 2008 should be a good year with lots going on and lots of traveling and hopefully lots more in alot of fields. Hope everyone had a safe and happy new year!
12.26.07 Dear Internet, Been a busy 2 weeks. Getting this next years travels planned out, I moved, and of course its been holiday madness here in the U.S with X-mas. Hopefully this next year will see me in south and central america's as well as making more permanent moves into foriegn territories . This year should also have alot of new stuff coming out form the garza.com clan!! stay tuned!!!
Got the new Merch section going smoothly. click here to see some of the cool stuff we brought back .Hope yo uhad a great holiday/day off and ttys, -R
12.12.07 Setting up a new section showing off some of the rad stuff we imported from Asia. check it Here
11.29.07 Well, Lots been going on,.. I didnt mention it by i shot some stuff for Discovery channel Canada with my old friend Wayde Dunn a couple of months ago for a show called Guinea pig with Ryan Stock and Amber lynn. it was fucking awesome! Ryan and amber lynn are really cool people. Not the fake shitty egostical hollywood people im used to running into out here in southern California...one of the first times i had no doubt the spin on the show was going to be positive no matter what they did in editing to the footage . The plastic surgeon that came on and talked about what we were doing while cutting, even gloved up and started cutting with us!!!! Doing a collaboration with a plastic surgeon.... how fucking cool is that? he was full of nothing praise and good words. Its really cool to see doctors in a socialized health system not afraid of speaking thier mind about REAL risks and what is really happening health wise with what we are doing as opposed to what their republican counter parts in office telling them what to do and think and say . The doctors here are afraid of loosing their job or credibility and the ability to STOP making money at a practice as well as from the pharamacudical and corportate war lords. it is so political and corporate run here in country with a privatized health system. I saw that just from the doctors attitude there. Imagine that .. a plastic surgeon on tv who is a real person and NOT a Dr. 90210.. it was nice.
anyway- new magazine articles from Tatu Arte (mexico) and the bloodletting story from another article from the U.K magazine ( Total Tattoo) on the Phuket veggie fest by our old friend "Travelin' Mick". Both can be found in the media section 11.10.07 Im BACK!!! S.E Asia was great. Saw the wonders of Angkor in Cambodia, visited the killing fields and torture musuem in phenom penn , and i did some great shopping in Bangkok . I have LOTSof new art stuffs available from tapetsries to carved teak and balsa panels, masks , masks , and more masks .. and then some! There will be a section going up here soon.. but id deffintly say to hit me up at a tattoo convention near you soon for best pic of stuff! Ill try and get pics up soon.. It was a wild time this last year in phuket.. Met some old friends and met some great people..Im truly glad i went.. and hopefully be back soon!
9.18.07 Its getting close. I leave for S.E asia in 9 days.. YIKES! I was in texas and did some cool work which is in the scar section. Ive also added an aftercare page (located on the scar page) for everyone to have some refrence about general healing.
8.29.07 Wow.. where to start . worked the TJ convention this past weekend and had a GREAT time. Thanks to Kiki and the guys from TINTA DISTINTA for putting on a GREAT show. Now Headed to San Fransisco this upcoming weekend, Austin Texas next week, and Vegas the week after. After that, who knows .
The site has ben under going some major over hauling. First of all , the branding page has been redone, and there has been a Piercing and Advanced Mods portfolio pages added , with many new sections in each , as well as started a merch page where you will be able to order Shirts, Stickers, and DVD's . Check back to
8.14.07 Lots going on. Finishing dvd art and going to pick up shirts .. both of which will be avialable here as well as the TJ convention i will be @ this weekend.
7-16-07 Been updating here and there ( scar section mainly)as well as started a media section and posting some of the published articles about me . Ive been getting the rest of the site together as it has been going under a reconstruction and im thinking of merging this site , with one of my old sites (flesh and spirit). Its a site from back when suspensions were different. Fakir has given me permission to republish some of his older articles about suspensions from Body play and it m ight be a nice complement to all i already have up .
Be on the look out for an upcoming DVD to be released @ the TJ convention next month . Hopefully the first in a series of dvds dealing with different techinues towards diferent aspects of body modifcation. We will see how it goes overin TJ before we start going into other fields (like branding and scarification)

9-25-06 been working on the site all day and put up galleries on some of the museums in mexico city. The templo Mayor which has the findings of most of the major temple in the center of the city. Most of this stuff was found in the 1980's when they were digging for the subway. i also put up the ruins most of these artifacts were found in as well in the picture section of the ruins. The national museum of Archeoligy is the other gallery i started. I say started because even with all those images i have up, i still have another 2 cd's of images from just this museum... its amazing. im tired and am working on uplaoding a batch of barcelona images, but that will have to wait till tomorrow. im out.
9-24-06

9-20-06 wow.. look at this place.. its looking all legit
9-19-06 well its official..... im headed to thailand to witness and participate in the Vegetarian fest. With a little luck some freinds shoud be there as well and its hould be a good time had by all. as for the site.. ive had a little professional help from a dear friend and this place is looking pretty swanky all of a sudden.
aside from the bitchin new front page (ala Nancy)..Ive started a photography section with picture sets so far from Gualdalajara's cathedral as well as more pics uploaded in the travels section. trying to get up the old stuff before I really start putting up the new stuff. also got dates for next years mexico classes.. but ill wait to post that.
9-14-06. started a conventions page that has a link to the guadalajara expo 06 page as of now. it now where near being done.. but then again.. who really cares or comes by here enough to notice?? 9-13-06 well alot has happened.. went to mexico city and guadlajara to work the expo there with jon Durante and pimping Evolve body jewlry. had great time.. some how got arrested/detained for cutting each other on top of the temple of the sun in teotihuacan outside of mexico city. Mexico is so amazing i will deffintly be spending more time there soon, starting with teaching 2 , 2 day seminars in Guadalajara next year in spanish .... hopefully. for now read about the expiernce we had here ....pyramid story of glory....bitches 8-17 -06 Got my shots started for my travels. Arm is sore. Today i also got my box of old 8mm tapes and old vhs tapes from dallas. The last 10/11 years of suspensions with SO MUCH personal stuff on there. i really cant believe some of the stuff i got. it truly was a magical time figuering it all out back then...kinda like the Z-town and bog boys.. but of suspension. I think im going to play up this angle for my presentation the upcoming GDL convention. Thanks the the Lovely Ms. Rebekah , the Mayhem section of the site is working now. I will be adding better banners and a whole lot of new content as soon as i have time. I will more than likely add alot of the material i will be presenting on here as well. Tonite i will also try and work on the links page tonite as well . You can also hit up my IAMBME page and see whats going on with me there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8-16-06 well i have put this thing up and deleted it at least a dozen times. This is harder than it looks, but i finally did narrow everythgn down to this. (this is for me as im so forgetful i wont remeber later why links dont work) My site is hosted by BME .Shannon has the main url pointing to the index page INSIDE the www folder, but all html pages and images need to be OUTSIDE the www folder EXCEPT thumbnails images which have their folders inside the www one. andi still cant get themayhem section to work i dont get it . Im slowly figeuring everythign else out, so i get that up soon as well.. Aside from that.. getting everythign ready for Mexico city and guadalajara. I have 2 weeks and havent really even started the presenation yet. No worries though. Allen (Falkner) sent me my box of video tapes that should be at the shop already. Just a matterof some editing and ill have a bunch of old suspension footage to show at least. aside form that.. back at the gym and trying to stay focused . im out 8-4-06
today was half assed at work , although i did take alot of pictures for the new banner for here, my cards and the banner ill be using in guadalajara. Im getting excited about that and am spending more time on promotional things like this site, banner, cards, stickers etc than i have been on the 3 hour discours eill be giving. should be interesting. .
on a different note i uploaded some pictures to the travels page and attempted to make a mayhem link but it isnt work.. so ill fuck with that later i guess. for now.. its late and i have to work another 12 hour shift tomorrow. dont know if i will be making an update tomorrow.. maybe i should put up some scar pics and call it done for tomorrow as well.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8-3-06 2.06 am my eyes hurt and I give up I am finally able to see the thumbnails but i can figuere out the navigation bars fuck it. im tired and so over this whole thing .. fuck this ill fuck with it later.. if ever again -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 80-02-06
well, i have been duking it out with this damn thing , but it seems like i finally got it to understand what a cave works like.. excuse the shittiness of this place, but at least its up.. and hey .. your not even paying attention anyway |
