I will begin to tattoo the robot girl with bio arm tomorrow on a good friend and client. The nail bitter girl is reserved for my boss. The other two are up for grabs for anyone who would like them tattooed by me.

Some recent covers
I've been overwhelmingly busy with paintings, tattoos and everything else in between. So far everything is landing on time. Here are the last 2 book covers I just finished. The first one I used our shop helper Amanda to model for the bloody vampire holding the apple. She was wearing vampire fangs. We just forgot they were in and didn't shoot anything with them showing.

Ignorance
Some guy was ranting on a post about how he thinks people with tattoos are hillbillies and low lifes. I couldn't help but respond:
The fact of the matter is that tattooing is becoming a mainstream part of society and whether or not you like it, its not going away. So instead of discriminating on what other people look like, worry about your own problems. Tattoo artists make a very good living and rely on those who appreciate the art. If you don't like it, so be it. But don't be an asshole about it. You're only making yourself look bad.
What would you have said?

VCS
Today was the VCS Gay Pride art show. There was a really great turn out and some impressive artwork. I showed up to the event fashionable late and was pleasantly surprised to learn that my painting had already sold only about and hour into the show.

One man's trash...
So after wrapping my nephew's birthday gift last month, I was about to throw out the tubing that the wrapping paper was supported by when I realized it wasn't in fact a cardboard tube at all. It was rolled up recycled paper much like a brown paper bag. With a slightly rougher texture, it accepts colored pencil real nicely. So I cut it up into a bunch of small sheets and began doodling. Here are the first 2 drawings. I'd like to credit Jime Litwalk for the body reference for the bride drawing.
