Peony Flower

I had a good day today, as the shop was kinda busy again.  This peony is my favorite of the day.

Banger Tattoo

I do a lot of banger tattoos.  Normally they are walk-ins and want just a fast, small, and simple tattoo.  I hardly ever post pics of the bangers, they are never impressive in that they are not complicated.  I like this tattoo and I drew it on with a sharpie.

Polynesian Tribal

I had just finished this drawing, and I intended to use it for my door design.  I will probably still use this as a graphic on my studio door.  It is just such a nice design I want People to see it.  This was really fun tattoo and a really cool client.

Polynesian Turtle

This has to be one of my favorite Polynesian tribal turtles I have ever done.  I want to start doing more tribal turtles with this compositional direction.

This is my favorite tribal turtle tattoo.

Hawaii #3 “Dissonant contrasting organic forms”

Hawaii #3 “Dissonant contrasting organic forms”

New painting finished finally. This was just fun to go all out with what is strange.  I am working on the reading for my formal composition, and I can see it not happening until 2020.  Hopefully I will be set up and able to have the time and space to devote to the work when the time comes.  For now I am happy with the study work going I am doing on linen.  It is all improvisational and playful in its intent, however it is not a work that I complete in a single sitting.  These studies take some time.

I like how this turned out.

Polynesian Manta Ray

I got the chance to study the Manta Ray again.  Kinda nice to be able to further this tutor of composition.  I am pretty happy with it.

Polynesian Tribal Forearm

The client is about to join the army and move off island.  We are going to complete his entire forearm with Polynesian tribal.  I have two more sessions with him before he leaves for the army.

I am looking forward to completing this work.

Polynesian Tribal Islands

This was the most fun I have had in a few weeks.  The client was a really happy guy who just loves Maui and loves the ocean.
