...We've been working on this for a while. This cat, Mike, has 2 jobs and goes to school full-time! Definitely going to be a while before we finish but I thought I'd give a sneak-peek of the progress since we began Color in our last session. I definitely don't mind the big gaps between sessions cause as long as he stays grinding, it trickles on down and I stay grinding!
Note: Samurai Mask done by someone else.

! Tokidoki !

Did this a couple of months back on model and super cool ass chick Amy Fay. My thanks to her for her business and letting me be the one to pull her "Tokidoki" piece off, and congrats to her success thus far for nailing the cover of Import Tuner Magazine! I'll be sure to return the favor for some shoots when I get off my ass and wrap up my '71 Datsun 510 project. Until then..."Drive Slow Homie"...

Eagle

My good 'ol friend and dog Rick aka HelpOne I've known since we were about knee-high to a ducks ass blesses me with the opportunity to appearently bless him with some good 'ol "homie work" also knowns as free tattoos, and hell why wouldn't I? This year marks our 20th year as friends and still going...shit, AND he drives all the way from vegas just to get inked by me. The talons on the eagle will be added next session as it will be mangling a snake which will wrap around his forearm and cap off the already ongoing work of a political theme 3/4 sleeve.

...32 Days later...

...actually 33 days. I had meant to post this at the beginning of the new year. I will make it a point to update my blog with weekly art (minimum weekly, maybe even every few days) to keep you all dialed in with all I am getting my hands in on. It may be tattoos, drawings, paintings, watercolors, mixed media or any and all other creative projects that requires original works of art. Stay tuned as I will too in having to produce, as subject versatility will be my goal!

...another one in progress...
