Picky P.

privet/ligustrum. really really really tough to kill and grows fast as hell. they're all over our property and i just dug up a bunch of starters and went for it. you can find cheap boxwoods at lowe's or home depot probably. (like 7 to 10 dollars for a decent sized something you could cut back and start on) you could get something like that this winter and get it growing happily then chop it into style in the spring. depends on what you like and where you're at.

sicr in poland!!

i second the motion!

i wouldn't rule it out...might be a little more intense to care for, but i bet there's something that would work. the only maple i had with decent colors is just about defoliated for the year. managed to get a good shot or two before it went though.

sicr proving that it's not just a clever name. the flow on that piece is ill like swine flu cases.. bump those train cars and that bones piece as well.

y'all chill with that bullshit...take it into pms

nice flicks! bump the usual suspects... and that close is lookin' pretty good, there.. my keg of beer will be ready tomorrow. word.

fuck yeah! that's illin'... i like that canvas board, too.

word up...shone on the lines.. and word up to newcastle brown ale, while i'm on here talking shite.

way to clog up a whole page talking about your bullshit 'beef'...

nice trees, cutty! you been growing those for a while? went out this weekend to the local bonsai expo. six states worth of involvement in the southeast...some cool shit to see. i wish i had taken a lot of money to spend..too bad i didn't have any. but i got some flicks to share, so fuck it. there were a couple of super dope eastern red cedars...i liked this second one a little better, but i'm not trying to talk any shit.. hornbeam in its fall colors i don't remember what species that one was...^^..sick as fuck though ^^the last piece that yoshimura ever created. about a year before he died, if i'm not mistaken. fucking amazing... i'm waiting till i find just the right white pine, but i want one badly this acer has a sweet flow this last one was my g/f's favorite...i like the paled out deadwood with the light bark and the flowers and all that. sweet as hell.. for sale in the marketplace...WAY out of my price range..but sick as hell, nonetheless. that's it for the bonsai show flicks. i got a few more, but those were the highlights for sure..good way to end the weekend. and this thing i thought i'd just share. my latest prebonsai privet from the construction zone. about 18" tall and maybe three across at the base. i'll let it stabilize and then chop it and grow a second section, then some ramafication. we'll see what happens.. that's it for now. i wanna see those maples turning colors, cutty...get us some flicks. peace!

cool to see some 3d shit...hardly anybody out here does that shit anymore.. the color fade in the middle of that second piece up (with the DJ) is fucking sick...prismas?

moms crew/ftk...

thanks, man...other than the obvious (i.e., the feeder roots dying back and the main artery wooding up somewhat) it's doing well. i'm going to give it a couple of weeks to set up well (if the wires don't start to cut before then after all the rain we've been having lately) and then i'm going to give it a repotting. originally it was going to lean the other way, and when the time came to wire it just wanted to go that way...thus the rock is now on the wrong side. after you had asked me about the soil last time i did a little research into cheaper alternatives for bonsai mix and came across NAPA part #8822. they market it as an oil spill cleanup product, but it's straight up diatonaceous earth. (as you can read on the back in the fine print, unlike some similiar products that i've read about and looked at) grey or white to slightly tan in color, nice particle size from what i can tell, and it only goes for like $7 for 25 lbs. i'll probably mix it in with some sifted potting mix for now (they also say a little aged pine bark is good too), but i've been reading that eventually you can wean them off to completely inorganic matter and just give them plant food/fertilizer. fresh! also been reading a little about how certain cinerated clay kitty litters are doable. they use that shit over in the UK as an inorganic soil alternative. some people claim that the alternatives are better than akadama soil, but having never fucked with akadama soil your guess is at least as good as mine. gotta build a little greenhouse...

bump that shit...hornet's nest in effect..

last week i wired up one of my privets for the first time...windswept style. i'm pretty happy with it so far. hopefully this flick isn't huge.. and then my girlfriend's birthday gift finally came in the mail. fuckin' sweet book. and i've found a sweet collection of larger privet material over the course of the summer. trimmed this one back to see the trunk the other day. potential.. keep it movin'..

those are some TINY lines...rock-rock on!

to paraphrase, you "think it's just that some kids deserve more respect and get zero on here" first, you earn respect. nobody is going to give it to you until you go out there and show them you can CONSISTENTLY do something fresh, and even then people have done it bigger, more colorful, and for longer, etc...you can't be a fucking pioneer in this shit anymore, get over it. second, if you're going to post pictures or even come on a public forum don't get hurt because of what the people have to say, self promo or no. you can get pissy all you like, but this isn't a fucking marriage..it's a public forum. nobody comes on here to listen to people bitch about not getting their ego stroked. not trying to be a dick, but make people talk about you if that's what you want. they talk about pyle's shit because they like it. don't get respect and fame confused...they're two different things. work hard and you will see results. put in a little work, you don't get much in the way of results...that's life. people will have an opinion of your shit regardless. see what i'm saying? sorry to clog the shit up y'all, but it's gettin' old. now back to our regularly scheduled bullshit...somebody requested some jat walls a ways back. this is the only one i've got, but i figure if i'm ranting i'll post a couple flicks. peace...

writing on the tracks is stupid...geez..

fuck yeah...nice flicks, yo!

sorry to hear about your olive...that sucks. give it another go though. i killed four little crepe myrtles earlier this year and the second batch i have (also four) are thriving and throwing out fresh buds after dying almost completely back. fail sometimes, win sometimes...here's my latest couple of yamadori. the trunk on this maple stump is about 1/2 to an inch thick. it had to go, so i'll see what i can make of it. this cedar was growing in a drainage ditch and the fall trim crew got a hold of it. good potential. the trunk is about an inch to an inch and a half...probably a foot and a half tall. going to let it go all winter and then see what it looks like in the spring before any trimming occurs.

bump that elf train...RIP

bump that shit...jerx and sicr represent..

you paint around, or over?? that wall looked better before, and those nsm cats have been doing their thing longer than you've had your graff training pants on. learn some respect..

"we rollin' 8 niggas deep!" and yet the production that was riding there didn't even get covered properly...FAIL!
