in progress preview

I'm coming to an end to my bio back piece on Salar. Heres a thumbnail preview.

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.
