So OVERrrrr....



I want winter to end, just when we started to see some ground on the mountain, we got another foot and a half of snow...BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! It's so cold!!! And I have recently developed an allergy to extreme cold weather...I shit you not. If I am outside for more than 15 minutes in shit like this I break out in intense hives!!! Now people I ask you, what kinda shit is that? I've been prescribed Clarinex that I take once a day which keeps things under control for the most part, if I have a severe break out I pop a Benedryl or two. I know...let's move to the coldest part of PA. buy a house on a mountain that's situated in a vortex of winter and then become allergic to the cold. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I have to laugh...what else am I to do?!!!

But lets go on with some good news...I've takin on several new clients with some great concepts!!!
A Geisha Samurai half sleeve, a Samurai and Dragon sleeve, a Dragon & Fire with Sakura blossoms half sleeve and Koi and Chrysanthemum sleeve. Keep it comin people, I LOVE IT!!!
Working hard on current projects as well, Christians back is really coming along, we're loving the progress so far, and it's going as planned. We'll be starting the outline of his ribs and stomach soon. I don't want to get too ahead of myself and lose any flow we have, or make things look disjointed.


I recently designed my own Senjafuda, which is a Japanese name sticker.
Basically it's a formal way of saying "Hello my name is ___ and this is what I do or this is who I am or where I'm from. They're primarily used in shrines all over Japan and are somewhat like a western business card. A calling card of sorts but in sticker form. They are paper stickers and I want to keep as traditional to the Japanese way as possible, so sorry friends these won't be something you can slap on your ride, BUT they are beautiful non the less. And can have many fine uses for books, inside window applications or just to treasure cause their cool as hell. I'm planning on having the first bunch printed up by the end of March and will be handing them out. This is a rough color draft right now, still playing around with combinations of red, black and white. Let me know what you think.
OK I'm outta here for now, I'm freezing and gotta get movin!!
PEACE, LOVE & MOTHERFUCKIN' TATTOOS!!!!!
