=MOI PREVIEW=

HALFER FOR MOI IN THE WORKS...

=NEW WAVE=

 

I'VE BEEN USING MY SPARE TIME (WHAT LITTLE I HAVE) THIS PAST WINTER TO WORK ON NEW PAINTINGS... STEADY FLOW OF FLASH AND TATTOO RELATED STUFF, AS WELL AS A HANDFUL OF FINE ART SERIES'.

BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR NEW PRINTS AND ORIGINALS UP FOR GRABS THIS SUMMER!

=GROWING NICK'S=

WHAT STARTED AS A HALF-SLEEVE, QUICKLY GREW INTO A FULL WITH MY PAL NICK. HALFWAY TO THE FINISH... FULL COLOR IS PLANNED. DON'T LET THE THIN ARM FOOL YOU... THAT'S A LOT OF WORK!

=PEDAL PALS=

STARTED UP A BIKE/TATTOO CLUB LAST YEAR... 'PDX PEDAL PALS'. JUST A SIMPLE BIKE TATTOO WITH A CORRESPONDING NUMBER FOR EACH PERSON, ACCORDING TO THE ORDER IN WHICH THEIRS WAS DONE.

THE TOP IS THE ORIGINAL TATTOO, AND BELOW IS THE ONLY 'DELUXE' ONE I'VE DONE. SO FAR, WE'RE UP TO ABOUT 13... AND COUNTING! I'LL REPOST THIS WITH PICS OF SOME OF THE OTHERS THAT ARE DONE ONCE I DIG 'EM OUT OF MY HARD DRIVE!

RIDE ON!!!

=TAYLOR AND THE FISH=

TAYLOR AND I EMBARKED ON A VOYAGE WITH THE STORY OF JONAH AND THE FISH...  BEING A BELIEVER, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME IN MY WORK TO DO IMAGES THAT HONOR GOD AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE AWESOME INSTANCES WHERE I CAN DO THAT IN A MAJOR WAY!

SO FAR WE'VE LINED AND SHADED THIS HALF-SLEEVE AND I COULDN'T WAIT TO SHARE IT. COLOR IS PLANNED FOR THE FINAL RESULT, BUT IT'S LOOKING SO COOL, I WANTED TO LET YOU GUYS IN ON A SNEEK-PEEK!

=SPEAK LIFE=

DAVID'S A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE... EVERY SO OFTEN HE POPS IN FROM COLORADO FOR A VISIT, AND INEVITABLY WE TALK TATTOOS. 

HIS IDEA FOR A THROAT PIECE HAD BEEN DISCUSSED BETWEEN US FOR MONTHS AND THE TIME FINALLY CAME WHEN THE MOMENT WAS RIGHT. CHECK IT OUT BELOW!
