10.10.08 (Friday) - I got to do an awesome tattoo today:

I was thinking about it while I was working on this piece, and there are plenty of reasons why a person might get a portrait tattoo, but the ONLY reason a person gets a dog portrait is because they love that dog. It makes them a lot of fun to do.

10.06.08 (Monday) - I finished a half-sleeve a few days ago and just got a composite picture put together so I could post it here. He had an existing half-sleeve on his upper arm as well as a tattoo by his wrist, so I blurred those out. (Don't want to take credit for another artist's work.)

You might recognize the TV--we did that several months ago and started working on the rest of his forearm afterward.

9.18.08 (Thursday) - I can't believe how long it's been since I've put up any new tattoo photos. I've been mostly working on bigger pieces lately and they take a lot longer to get finished and photographed.

Today was the first day of an oil painting class I'm taking at KCAI and I'm really excited to be learning a new medium. I slopped a bunch of paint around on a canvas and it was incredibly messy and fun. And I don't even have to be careful because when it dries, if I don't like it (here's the best part!) I can paint over it.

7.15.08 (Tuesday) - Check out the new portrait on the Tattoos page. It's on one of my favorite clients--it's his dad with a sweet 80's feathered haircut and teenage trash 'stache. (The Lionel-Richie-album-cover-style lettering was my own personal touch.)

I'm not sure whether Slick Rick will be flattered or horrified, but I like it!
