just hibernating

while this kitty looks a bit like a white tiger, this is actually just the start of a regular orange tiger.  and not really that regular, 'cuz real tigers' faces don't have neon green or lavender accents.  

nothing says b.f.f. like matching space coyote tattoos

my first opportunity to do a simpsons-themed tattoo.  hopefully not the last!

more (mostly) finished tattoos

evil goat

this was supposed to just be a t-shirt design.  but now it's the beginning of a sick new leg tattoo on a fellow tat magician @ my shop.  

"too cute!"

this client wanted a precious moments girl to signify her niece.  why the bubbles?  the niece, who is only 2 years old, can't pronounce the client's name, and calls her "bubbles."  yes, entirely too cute. 

tats for dads

maryland blue crab.  the graham family rulez!  thanks warren. 

give a hoot--kick out the jams.  based on a piece of flash by the talented mr. john glessner.

tats for moms

 

a friend's mom got a flower from her family coat of arms on the back of her leg.  thanks Debbie!

old school

 

traditional roses (in progress)

 

no panthers were harmed in the making of this tattoo

 

sXe razor

halloween flash

since everyone else seems to be doing a set of halloween flash, and since i was bored at the shop, i made a couple sheets.  it's all prismacolor marker on printer paper.  inexpensive & relatively mess-free.  if anyone is actually reading this blog, they should come get cheap halloween tattoos.  i'm just sayin'.   

animal paintings

here are some paintings i've recently done and donated to various animal-related non-profits; the first is a water-soluble oil painting i made for FARM (http://www.farmusa.org), the two lower paintings are acrylic works i donated to woodstock farm animal sanctuary (http://www.woodstocksanctuary.org). through auctions, my painting efforts have raised nearly $5,000 for animal groups so far.
