So who knows what the fuck is up?

The only thing bigger than my ego is my talent.

Here's a preview of my #lobo #cosplay I'll be wearing around at #sdcc2034 this year. I'm excited for it. Also, it's my birthday.

I wish this were a real episode. :(

When you're a monster but still cute af. (I need to leave my house more. Somebody, save me from myself. I'm obviously losing my mind 😭😭😭😭🦇) (at Los Angeles, California)

My woman crush Wednesday goes to THESE fierce bitches. You babes are fine as hell! #wcw Ok, now that I've had a bit to relax and be a goof after making my last travel vlog, it's time to get back to work. Ugh. (at Hollywood)

Oh, you thought I was playing? John Devilman doesn't joke about the day after Valentine's candy sale, y'all. (at Hollywood)

[johndevilman]

THIS lucky guy got to spend Valentine's Day in bed all day with the one he loves. (His pillow). ❤🙏🏼🦄 (at Hollywood)

What the "Mother Nature/ life and death" tattoo sleeve would end up looking like on the arm. The background would be dark greys, almost like neo-Japanese wind bars, behind the subjects with the negative space wisps of smoke drawing the eye around the arm from the bottom to the top. (at Hollywood)

Another tattoo sketch I did. Anyone want to get some work done? I'm late on rent! 😰 (at Hollywood)

Big shout out to @de_noche_bandito, who had me design him the tattoo of a heart grenade with a skeleton hand pulling the pin, (figure 1.), then got someone else to tattoo it after we missed the appointment due to my not having the supplies and the supply shop being closed, (figure 2.) Now, Jim's a good guy and a good friend, so he probably didn't know this was the equivalent to a slap in the face for a tattoo artist. He probably doesn't know that tattoo artists usually charge a deposit on designs because things like this happen sometime and they want to make sure they're protected from having wasted time to put money in someone else's pocket. He was probably unaware of the hours I spent, researching the anatomy, putting the design together, sending him variations of it with different color combinations to make sure I got him a cool design. But... the artist probably didn't understand either... that's probably also why the heart's anatomy is wrong and the skeleton hand has 6 fingers, with the last digit of the thumb,(which isn't technically a finger although I counted it among the 6), just floating there, not connected to anything. 😂😎 (at Голливуд)

Working on this #tattoo #sleeve #art #sketch today. It's supposed to be an artsy way of showing the circle of life, (this is only 1/2 of the sleeve. As it progresses down, there are bones of a rabbit with bugs crawling on leaves and mushrooms growing around the tree of life sacred geometry). Oh, and the apple is going to be bleeding down the woman's arm. This is going to be used for a comic book character's tattoo sleeve, (potentially), that my old buddy, Travel is going to be using. But, I'm also going to try and give this to somebody... because I like where it's going. (at Hollywood Boulevard)

Trying to design the armor my character in "The Space Viking Vs. Dracula and the Moon Men" will wear. It's a tough one because I want to have full mobility and still have it look cool. This is me screwing around and trying things out. Might etch some desert gnar on it tomorrow and add some pieces. Who knows. (at 好莱坞大道)

When I was down in Miami this summer, I met up with @erikacosplay and had the awesome @aflawlessimage shoot us doing our #khaleesi and #khaldrogo cosplay. Self deprecating admittance of failure: I had stayed up until 7am, building my costume. The shoot was going to be at 11am. I set my alarm for 9am which would give me an hour to put on my makeup, shave the beard the way it should be and get ready while leaving me an hour to drive to location. I woke up at 11am to texts from Erika, asking where I was! 😰 I grabbed my stuff sans preparing and rushed to the location, arriving an hour late and a storm was rolling in so we were limited on time. I rushed to get ready, had Erika hastily put my makeup on and tie my beard into a braid. The problem was, she looked, (as you can see here), absolutely incredible. Me, however, well... my costume was falling apart, my makeup was cheap and.... when Erika tied my beard; instead of doing it on my chin, she did it on my neck 😢 So, I didn't post the pictures when everyone else did because I wanted to go through and move the beard to my chin in the pics. Basically, this is my admitting I photoshopped my tied beard from my neck to my chin and filled in some makeup. If you want to see the unedited versions, they've got them on their page. I believe they're also in some cosplay magazine, (which makes me feel even worse about dropping the ball on my end). Sorry, guys! I'll do better next time. (And, probably just buy a fake beard). 😂#got #gameofthrones (at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park)

I am painting this live on twitch TV. It's a gypsy witch or whatever commissioned from a comic book artist to place on one of his characters. #tattoo #gypsy #witch If you want, watch me on twitch as I finish this up. Twitch dot com/Johndevilman. Also, come get tattooed, people. You can get this design or another in the series... or whatever. That reminds me. My trip to Australia is going to be delayed for about a week. Hopefully, not too much longer than that but, I need to and money to buy my ticket. Love you all! (at Hollywood Boulevard)

Thanks to @moises_barrios_ for filming me so I can see what I need to work on with my form. This was my trying to max out today. My PB was 475 lbs., (215.5kg)... but then I traveled the world and couldn't keep a routine to gain strength. Since returning, I've been demotivated at the gym. Flakey workout partners giving me an excuse to miss days, (since I had planned around them and didn't feel like going since they weren't), getting bored with the routine I've been doing for years and getting to a point where I'd only do half of the requested regiment because I was so burnt out on it, (going to try and find a new one), and having a taste of what a proper gym feels like, (@neworleansbarbellclub - why must you be so amazing and yet, so far away?), I haven't been able to get back to my old numbers. Despite my excuses, I have no one to blame but myself. So, this is my attempts at 445 lbs. (202kg) and my failing at 470lbs (213kg). I'm not happy this but am slightly more motivated to take the gym more seriously. I also maxed my bench at 270 lbs. (122kg) which is just 15 lbs lighter than what my max was. I didn't try squats because 315 seemed heavy. So, my powerlifting friends. Is there anything glaringly obvious about my form I could tweek? I feel I didn't activate my lats enough but I was trying to squeeze my shoulder blades together and have a wide chest, explode up and all that stuff. It sucks that I have a shit belt and hexagon plates, (what's the fucking point of those anyway!?!?), but I still take all the blame for my failure on this one. (at LA fitness Hollywood II)
