some drawings and tattoos.

I was poking through some files earlier and found a few things that I thought might pertain to the original intent of this blog, which is showing some artistic progress kinda thing.

These are mostly old tattoos and paintings, coupled with part of my original sketches.

Finished stickers on candles.


If it's not right the first time, do it again!

Sometimes, it takes so long to get it just right that you don't even want to do it anymore.
