=COMIN UP...=

SKETCH FOR PART OF ROB'S SECOND FULL SLEEVE... SA-SA-SA-STOKED.

=NEW NEW=



NEW PAINTING... THAT ACTUALLY TOOK ME 6 MONTHS TO COMPLETE. WEIRDO, I KNOW... BUT DONE! MAY BECOME THE NEW BIZ CARDS... GOOD IDEA?
FEEDBACK, IF YOU WILL!!! PRINTS AND STICKERS OF THIS ONE THIS SUMMER... CHEERS!!!

=STEPH'S WISDOM=






I'VE COME TO KNOW THESE TYPE OF TATTOOS TO BE MY 'THING'... OFTEN ASKED WHAT I LIKE TO TO OR WHAT MY SPECIALTY IS... I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO ANSWER.
I WILL HOWEVER, DRAW, PAINT AND IN A HEARTBEAT TATTOO THESE TYP OF BUSTS... I GUESS WHICH WE COULD CALL 'VICTORIAN'. BUT TATTOOING THEM, THEY BECOME A BIT DARKER AND MORE LIKE NEO-TRADITIONAL IN STYLE. SO, IF I PICK A 'THING' ... THEN IT WILL BE THESE... PRETTY LADIES IN A SMART TATTOO STYLE. SOMETHING DONE TO LAST. AND PRETTY!
STEPHANIE CAME TO ME FOR A LADY REPRESENTING WISDOM, IN THE WAY THAT A WOMAN IS USED METAPHORICALLY TO REPRESENT WISDOM IN PROVERBS. YES, YES, YES!!! THIS ONE'S DOPE TO ME BECAUSE NOT ONLY DID SHE TRUST ME WITH FREE RIEGN ON TATTOOING... BUT ITS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE BIBLE, WHICH FOR ME, HAS BECOME A CORE REASON FOR TATTOOING... MINISTERING THE MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE, JESUS CHRIST AND ONE ALMIGHTY GOD.
EXTRA BONUS TO REFER TO WOMEN IN THE BEST OF WAYS, BECAUSE, AS A MAN... I STRIVE FOR THE UTMOST WITH THE OTHER HALF OF LIFE IN MY DAYS ON EARTH... WOMAN.
THANKS STEPH... ON SO MANY LEVELS. WORDUP.
