What's All This?

Just some things to keep in mind...

Keeping On

I've got a couple of new projects in the works these days, but it's slow going because of other obligations (aka homework). But with any luck I'll have them finished soon.

I'm working on making my home a bit more homey and have started getting stuff up on the walls. It's still a bit bare so if you've got any postcards, photos, or artwork (especially if it's your own!) laying around send it my way! It's always appreciated!

On a side note Tattoo Age just released a new episode on Troy Denning... if you're board check it out... he's one crazy fellow! Also their previous episodes, both on Dan Santoro and Grime are great.

Keep it Stupid Stupid!

I had so much fun with the first little drawing that I decided to do some more. I'm really liking the simple, black and white designs. I'm trying to make them all a bit strange. Lots of eyeballs and arrows... 

The hatchet design is not original but I've tweaked it a bit to make it more my own.

Precious Time

Couple of pieces I drew up today when I should have been doing other things. The colors on the rose and dagger are a bit wonky, it would have been better in watercolor. I really dig the eye/arrow/cloud tat design though.  It's weird. 

On a side note, I managed to lose my i-pod in a perfectly clean room, which is a bit of a bummer.

Disconnected

Today was a bad day. I did a bit of painting and drawing but it didn't amount to a whole lot. Whatever whatever. 

Skull paintin' I did today, inspired by S. Tamez

The nautical sheet #1 nearly complete. On the next one I'll try to organize the images better.

Some Take to the Sea, and Others She Takes

I'm working on a sheet of nautical designs... Here's a couple of the first ones, a lovely sea faring lady and a sinking ship. I've been reading up on sailor lore and it's given me a lot of ideas so I may end up having to do another sheet, but the more the merrier! I've also been toying around with simpler designs, like the boat, and bold colors, I plan on painting these tomorrow. The plain images almost give me more freedom and they can still pack a punch if you can do them right. I'm still figuring it out so any input/criticism/opinions on the matter are always appreciated. 

Long Time Coming

I've been living a nomadic existence and enjoying the freedom. I made the pilgrimage down to Berkeley and spent a perfect weekend with my lovely sister, where I drew this picture. It's nearly done... I might put some text in, but I'm not sure.

Feathered Friends

 Ilo and Kurjuus (Joy and Misery) birds finished! I could see this pair as hand tats... one on the left, one on the right.

Here We Go

Something new on the way....

Another lame blog post. Sorry. Things are still moving a bit slow lately since inspiration has left me high and dry.

Other People's Stuff

Just some of the stuff giving me inspiration these days. 

The Daily Grind

Painted this one up just the other day which was a pretty good time. Today was pretty dead and I didn't get anything done at all. Hope that doesn't become a habit. Also the boys all finished up.... nothin' fancy.
