Vulture

Started this one today! Crouched vulure.......about 3 and a half hours.

Christmas in March

This one has been in the works for a long time.....finally got around to starting it this Sunday!
About 2 and a half hours so far.

a few things in progress...

A couple of projects currently in the works.

Sarah's Monsters



Tiffanie's peacock cover up.
Ashley's back....Lots of smoke and background left to go!(I didn't do her ribs or portrait on the upper right shoulder)


Nancy's half sleeve. Almost there! (the branch and a few of the blossoms were already there)

Aliens!

I've wanted to do an Aliens themed tattoo since I first started tattooing! Jeff Srsic did the top of her arm and I had the terribly difficult task of trying to "match up" with the style he did.
3 Sessions...about 12 hours total.
I'd love to do some more tattoos like this!!!


Initial sketch....

After the first session...3 hours, or so.....

finished......half healed/half fresh....

A few new things.....

I need to update more often! I have many, many things in progress at the moment, so i will be doing a huge update in a few months, as these tattoo projects get finished. I also have an artshow in June that I have been doing a lot of "in progress" photos for.

In the meantime, here are a few simpler things I have been doing, besides getting hit by cars on my scooter.


The first sketch (in greens) and line drawing for Spencer's day of the dead lady.



The end result (maybe 3 hours of tattooing)

SALVATION

A HUGEHUGEHUGE "thank you" to everyone who bought a salvation print from me when I was healing my wrecked hand from my car accident in November. I really appreciate the support.

Lady Face

It's been a while since I posted anything here, so let's do it!


I drew the initial sketch while bored at the Salt Lake City convention, thinking I could use it for something in the near future.

I wanted to do something with a really heavy Mucha look to it, but without taking something directly from his work. It's about 3x5" at this point.


Then, traced the sketch for this line drawing....evening out details, changing things here and there....

Then, I blew the line drawing up to be much larger. Then tape a million pieces of paper together. (at this point, it's maybe 14x18")

Taped that crap onto the watercolor paper.

Transfered on there. You can see here that I decided to change her facial features jut a bit to look more "eastern European" or something.....also, I wasn't pleased with the rose that I drew, so I took a different approach.

After the first night of painting....maybe 3 or 4 hours in.



after about 4 or 5 more hours.....The final product! 16x20"
