Review - Vinyl patch printing service from OC Industries

OC Industries are a newly formed company based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. They offer to print patches, logos and other designs onto your gi jacket using vinyl. I tested out their service using my recently reviewed Tatami Fightwear Estilo 5 black & black jacket.

2015 End of Year Review

2015 has been a particularly busy year for me. The above highlight showcases 100 drawings I created over the year, part of maybe 200 - 230 individual pieces I completed, not including rough sketches and work in progress.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my work. Here's to another exciting and fruitful jiu jitsu year ahead!
