QUESTION: i need to know what each and evry part of the sun means...please...its very important. thanks so much =)

ANSWER: Hey Brooke

OK, The "40 oz. Sun" is basically about decay & the different ways to get there. So, you have the Magic Mushroom that is down the middle. Above the eyes are a dead fish and a dead flower from the poison in our Ocean water out here. The skeleton down the middle is coming from the magic mushroom because those are "Psilocybin" mushrooms; which is a poison. On the left is a Genie and a Magic Lamp: Be careful what you wish for,... it could kill you. Next to that is the Devil: Ummm, he can kill you or kill your life or kill your dreams. In the middle (bottom) is the worm from a Tequila bottle; most likely "Mezcal" or Mescal Tequila which is well-known here in California for it's worm and the psychedelic effects that is causes. To the right, a skull which is pretty self-explanatory. Then, there is the pocket knife which most everyone carries out here. Most people prefer to use those when they kill someone because they are silent(unlike bullets) but deadly.

And,... finally,... there is a very small "peace sign" at the bottom which signifies that "peace" is still here and a part of the big picture but that it is being overwhelmed by the other shit so it is nearly unattainable when drugs, death and harm are everywhere around us.

I hope this helps.

QUESTION: what do the words on the pocket knife on the 40oz to freedom sun say?

Answer
Hey again Brooke,

It says: "ORTIZ"...  as in Opie Ortiz who did the painting and was responsible for much of sublime's artwork.

That's how he "signed" the "40 oz." Sun Art. He signs most of his artwork like that; kind of hidden.

I hope this helps.
