Corey's Chest

I finished this today, we started it at least a year ago...I feel like I may have posted in-progress photos to the blog before but I can't quite remember.  Kudos to Corey for sitting still!

Mega-fauna!!

Here is a painting I did that will become an atlatl target for one of my extra-curricular activities at school.  

And in action!  

Sadly, the most recent painting I have done was completely destroyed in a day's time...At least it made for a rousing game of atlatl target practice.

From Paper to Product

I am so thrilled that I can graduate my school and leave the Anthropology Club that I founded and presided over for three years at my college with a coozie legacy!  Anyone who knows me personally can attest to my love of coozies and coozie decorating for all occasions.  I wanted to leave the A.C. with a logo, not being super computer illustration savvy I finally found someone to take my illustration (below) and convert it into a computer rendered version.  We then ordered up some coozies for our campus event.  I write this as I sip my bubbly water from the protective sheath of the Anthropology Club coozie.

Laura Lou's Leg

I tattooed this lady on Laura Lou's leg today.  The design comes from a flash sheet I painted year ago, Laura saw it and wanted it on her leg, and so it was.  A pin-up for a pin-up.

Jackie's Back

I am reluctant to post "in progress" photos on the blog but I don't know when I'll be able to work on Jackie's back again and it's just so darn exciting to show off a new piece I'm working on.  So, enjoy this special special sneak peak as much as I enjoyed designing this tattoo.

Nichole's Leg




I finished Nichole's leg today.  A leg sleeve based on the painting of the Edo-Pop period in Japan titled "The Great Wave of Kanagawa" by Katsushika Hokusai.  Nichole was incredibly tough and it made the tattoo that much better for it.  Thanks Nichole!  

I was additionally able to see a print of the painting at the Edo-Pop exhibit this spring at the M.I.A. among other representations of the period.
