Just coming off of a couple days of disease!  So far on this trip to LA I've spent the only time I haven't been working having a sleep marathon or sweating out this Hell Fever.

Got a decent amount of exciting new stuff in the works, lots of foxy lady tattoos and other cool stuff, but my time in Chicago was so busy I never got a chance to load things to my laptop.  In the meantime, here's a start to finish walk in Koi from Saturday!

Coffee gives me energy to fight my demons!!!

Sorry kids, I have been a naughty monkey lately when it comes to posts.  But I have a couple new items to barrage your eyeballs with.  But first, some updates:


I am in Chicago. 
I have a smattering of openings in May that are currently available. 
I am helping foster a one eyed cat.
I'm trying to pick back up on skating (so get in to see me now before I break my wrists.)

The third one doesn't relate to work so much, but dangit, she's a cutie.

PICTURES.

My friend Bens wife Angie.  She already had the star and orchids. 

Some rad stuff inspired by AJ Fosik.

Terrors of the Deep!

Back to the blog!

Oh my landers, it has been a while since my last post!  I have a ton of new pics, and some new news too.  I am back in LA, and I'll be here through mid March at Black Diamond Tattoo.  Saturday I am going to Jumbo's Clown Room.  Words cannot express how excited I am about this.  Weirdo clown burlesque?  Oh yes. 

I'm a little sad to be out of Chicago actually, I've been doing so much crazy stuff the last couple months.   LA's gonna have to get real weird to compete!  Though I have plenty of faith in this city's capacity in that regard.  There are a few cool pieces coming up, but I still have a good amount of open time, so if you've got some ideas, get at me! 

And if you want to get in when I get back to Chicago, email me about that too!  I've got openings starting at the beginning of April for Speakeasy. 


Enough Jibba Jabba.  Peep this:

Finally wrapped up this fella's back and got some decent photos of it.  I guess his grandpa almost won this castle in a card game?  How awesome is that?

Artist Jane Georges' botanical illustration piece!

One of a set of hop cones for some beer aficionados!

Filling in a gap between a couple other pieces.

Progress on this piece.  We've already done one more part, and have background to go!


So yeah!  That's some new stuff, and there's more on the way.  If you need me, you know where to find me. 

(At the Clown Room.)

Back in the Frozen North

I just wanted to say thank you to 217 Tattoo for an awesome week!  It was great to see everyone and it reminded me how much fun it was working there.  I think I was running on about 5 hours of sleep every night I was there, just so I could come back and start the next day at noon.  On that note, Thank You to Josh Woods for hanging out so late every night I worked with him!

Here are a few photos of things I worked on while I was there, although some of them are crappy phone pictures.

 One last picture, this is one I saw at a friends house from way back in the day.

I think it also said "SEXUAL PREDATOR" somewhere on my neck.  Gooood tiiiiiiiimes.


Thanks again Champaign!  I hope to see you again soon!!!

Travel info

Hey hey hey, I just wanted to let everyone know I will be in Champaign, IL at 217 Tattoo Co. November 30th through December 3rd, so let me know if you would like to get anything done while I'm there!  Most of the trip is booked out already, but I still have time for a couple small pieces or to possibly try setting things up for another trip in the near future!

Now I'm going Bowling.  Wish me luck.

Just got done with this one. It took a bit longer than I thought it would to find time to wrap it up, but I'm glad to see it finished!

I'm letting the original go for $380, but you can also get prints in several different formats and price points below.

Started drawing this at about 9 tonight.  Think I'll try getting some paint down for it when I get home.

 

 You're welcome for the close up of my hoodie lint, BTW.

Thinking she looks better with pupils, right?
