Word on the Street

so its been a busy few months at the tattoo shop, and I've been getting some larger more interesting pieces for my portfolio. I've got a couple shows coming up and have been getting ready for comic con in July. basically I've had my hands full for a while but this summer you will be seeing all the fruits of my labor.

Yes! i will finally be making prints this summer A couple small ones and a few larger ones. I'm still in the middle of deciding which pieces im going to go with. ( if you have any requests let me know. )

Below is a tattoo i did last year but somehow i kept neglecting to put it up. the image was drawn out specifically for Greg's arm. the darker image is one that i took at the shop and the lighter one is a photo of the healed tattoo he took. i definitly need to take more photography lessons. anyone got any tips?





i gotta say thanks again Greg! sorry it took so long to get this baby on here.

New Works..Finally!!

here's a couple of new pieces i just recently did for a few group shows this month. got a few more coming up so keep a looks out.

New Shows Coming Soon

alright i'm back in action. after taking a little break to catch up with tattoo work i am back getting ready for some great shows in the next few months. here is a couple of flyers to the shows.

Heaven

a bit of a different style for today. i painted a fun design for the tattoo shop to be used for our banner at conventions. i also drew up another version for t shirts we are selling. i haven't worked in color for a while so it was a great change of pace. i will be doing more of these illustrations in the weeks to come because im putting together a set of tattoo flash. once i have them ready to sell i will preview them on here as well. i know some say i should stick to one style but i just cant seem to do that. i have too much fun and like to keep my self challenged in doing so. maybe coming up with a pseudo name is the best route. until then i will keep putting up my tattoo style stuff on here. thanks for looking
