My blog is an exstention of my personal website, I do a lot of thinking...I'm known for being opinionated, so here is where I'll rant and rave, show off, toot my own horn, or just let my peeps know what's goin on in my life outside the studio.

Anothr Year Down...

Had a lovely time at my in-laws for Christ-mass, and now I'm kicking back with a week to do whatever I want!!!!! Yes the wonderful yearly winter vacation is under-way! LOVE IT!
I'm going to work on some paintings, sleep, watch some movies, sleep, relax, sleep, play some xbox, sleep, get the tops of my hands tattooed, sleep and generally have a good time and sleep.
Starting after the new year the studio will have new hours of operation, noon to 8pm, perfect for the winter. They're calling for snow today, but I think they're full of shit, they've been wrong all year, Linda says "they're reading tea leafs" HAHAHA I tend to agree with that statement.


I have some great new projects starting after the new year, double sleeve designs on my new client Diego, a little black magic and New Orleans tribute. Starting color on John's Dragon/Koi sleeve I just started a couple days ago. Continuing work on Joanna's back piece, and Shupes back, I'm keeping busy as usual, so there won't be any cabin fever going on at the studio that's for sure. I just finished up Gene's Samurai and Tiger back and I couldn't be happier with the result, it really came together nicely. Gene and I have begun dialogue about half sleeves and front panels.

We'll be going to Aki on New Years with Jan, Jesse and Aidan to celebrate. It'll be Aidan's first dinner out, and first time trying Sushi, I think he'll dig fish eggs. What a big boy now!!


Well enough for now I want to put my feet up and relax and continue my vacation. I hope all my clients and friends had a great Holiday in whatever ritual they participated in.

PEACE, LOVE, & MOTHERFUCKIN' TATTOOS!!!

I get tattooed too!!!




Finally had my piece started by Anya Gladun, she works out of DC Ink. A super great day, I got tattooed and then I worked on her back. One of the many perks of being a tattoo artist, getting to trade with other talented tattooists. The tattoo that Anya is doing for me is a Japanese forbidden tattoo. It's a tattoo to show ones devotion to their lover. I've been planning this tattoo for a super long time, but it wasn't until I saw Anya's work that I knew she had to be the one to do it. Her unique pin-up style and twist on reality is going to make this concept perfect for me. By the way, anyone who knows me knows I HATE GETTING TATTOOED!!!! IT FUCKING HURTS!!!! LOL
Well that's it for now my peeps. I hope everyone is staying warm!!!
PEACE, LOVE & MOTHERFUCKIN TATTOOS!!!!!
