Blog Moving...

So, Obviously I am terrible at keeping this thing updated; so I have decided to switch completly over to Tumblr, in the iterest of keeping more up to date.

From now on you can find new work at: clubandspade.tumblr.com or on Instagram at @maxthejew.

Thanks you for the interest.

Big news, announcements, and whatnot.

After lots of hard work from everyone on the crew I am pleased to announce that the shop has moved. We are now at 705-A W. Rosemary St. Carrboro, NC. It is exactly two doors away from the old shop, and above our local watering hole, the Bow Barr. We have twice the space and now have separate rooms for drawing, piercing and tattooing. Over the next few months we will continue to decorate, but for now everything major is done and we are open for business. Here is how it is looking so far:

Also I got to do this fun reaper on drew last week. We have plans to make it less lonely and fill up the rest of his torso.

And did these horns of Odin on another neighbor of ours who works at the burrito shop. Sorry for the shitty picture.

Finally I drew this for a client who has since decided she wanted something simpler to represent the triple goddess/norns. So this drawing is up for grabs and will go at a good price to whoever wants it:

I love doing this stuff so much. More please.

A Good Week.

Got to do two fun tattoos last week. The first is on a local bartender and good dude. The second is on my good customer Madelyn. I've been slowly working on sleeves for her and her partner. This was her first color piece, and I hope to be doing more work in a similar vein on her soon.

Sorry for the shitty picture quality.

Coverups and other fun

Did a couple fun cover-ups this month, one more successful than the other admittedly. This is an area I feel has been lacking in my work, so I am happy to get the opportunity to work on it.

 Whippoorwhill covering up text and a heart.

Skull covering a Coop devil girl.

Also did a few other fun ones, and did a large new painting.

Finally, we have new shirts at the shop that I designed. Men's and women's sizes available at the Carrboro shop, $20.

Go to sleep little baby...

Just finished up a siren inspired by the ones in "Oh Brother Where Art Thou." It is one of my favorite movies so needless to say I was excited to do the tattoo.

These days I have pretty much just been wanting to do old grimy prewar and circus flash, and ladies. Hoping I have more opportunities for both soon.

A bunch of random stuff

Damn I have been doing a bad job of keeping this updated. I haven't finished a whole bunch of cool stuff recently, though I started on a few things. Drawings, sketches, progress shots, and other randomness can all be seen at my tumblr: clubandspade.tumblr.com. Also I have been trying to get back into the swing of things with painting. Here are a couple I just finished last week:

Both are ink and liquid acrylic on Arches cold press. Also both are for sale/trade. Email jfunwrecker@gmail.com if interested. Flash sets are also still available.

Here is a colection of little random fun tattoos from the last month:

Also my friends Matt Mebane tattooed my right hand a couple weeks ago. Thanks a ton man, I couldn't be happier.

Thanks for looking, and sorry for the extra long update, I will try to stay more on top of this.

Ride 'em

Tyler came in today and got this fun cowgirl pin-up based on a Gil Elvgren painting. I had a ton of fun with it, and hope to get a chance to do more work on Tyler. This is the sorta shit I would like to do all day. Well that and weirdo occult stuff.

And Wizards...

Prints

The time has come! I am now selling prints of my newly finished flash-set. The set is 5 sheets and will be selling for $45 plus $5 shipping in the continental United States and Canada (email me for shipping prices of other more exotic locations). The prints will be on heavy matte card-stock, suitable for framing. All prints will be signed and numbered.

If interested please email me at: jfunwrecker@gmail.com

And without further delay here are closeups of all the sheets:

Fin.

Prints forthcoming in the next week or two. Pricing to follow.

Getting there:

Behind Schedule

So I doubt I will have my flash set done by Christmas, which is unfortunate, but not surprising; I am easily distracted. I finally got the outlines all finished today, and might get to start painting them tomorrow. Remember, I will be making prints of this set. I will be figuring out the pricing once I finish them but it should be under $100 for the set.

Heres a couple more previews:

Suffer not a witch to live.

Blood for the blood god!

All 5 sheets.

Valhalla

Had a random guy come in and ask for a traditional Viking pinup girl today. Needless to say I was more than happy to help him out. Kyle (the guy who got the tattoo) turned out to be a really nice guy with an interest in fun tattoos. Hopefully we will be doing a plague skeleton on him soon to join his Nordic lady.

P.S. Yes, I know that Vikings didn't actually wear horned helmets, and that her armored bikini would literally freeze her bits off in Norway, but shut up. It's more fun this way.
