Nik (finally!) came in and got some more work done on his chest piece. It’s been 3-4 months since the outline was done. Here’s the first pass of the heart. Going to go back over it and add a lot more. But I like to see the progressions of things, maybe you do also…

And here’s a nice little one that Sara came and got for her grandmother…

Spencer let me start this portrait of Eddy Merckx this afternoon. But we ran out of time. Can’t wait to get back in and finish it up.
Angelique and I had to make a quick trip back to Pennsylvania last week. Drove out Wednesday, her grandmothers funeral Thursday and drove home Friday. She was a great lady and lived a long fruitful life before alzeimers pretty much destroyed her quality of life for the last 6-7 years. A shame, I would have loved to get to know her. She seemed like a great woman.
Here a photo of the beautiful wallpaper the funeral home had.

There’s something beautifully complex about a rose. A flower like no other. I want to tattoo one of these in grey wash real bad.
And to anyone who reads this, sorry I’ve been slacking. I’ll start posting more photos again…

Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
a. who cares what (if any) religion he is. It shouldn’t matter.
b. 18% of the US are bigots
c. 43% of the USĀ are idiots
d. either way, we’re all fucked if 61% of the US population is thatĀ inept.
Ok. these are slowly getting done. Behind schedule but still moving…

Yeah, ok… I couldn’t think of a better title, it’s dork I know. Sorry!
Last week I posted on my facebook how I really want to do an octopus, then later that day a woman comes in and asks for an octopus! Not a friend or anyone that saw my facebook posting either. How crazy is that. Well, we started it on Friday, but it’s not really ready to show. So here’s the sketches for it. Can’t wait to do a few more hours of work to show you, going to be fun.

Jazz came in a few weeks ago and we got to finish up her skull. Here’s a fresh picture, still looks pretty irritated in this photo, but I’ll post a healed version very soon.
Bryan (Alli’s apprentice) let me play and create this owl on his leg. Two sessions. This is a healed photo.
