Locals

I tattooed a couple of local chef/restaurant owners last week. Both got fun tattoos and I was happy with the results. Thanks for looking.

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.

Tattoo and Paintings.

Yeah I know I suck at updating. Here are a couple paintings and a fun tattoo I did in the last few weeks.

This is on my good client Brett who is moving to Austin next week. I've had the opportunity to do some really fun work on him over the last year, and I'm bummed to see him go.

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.

A couple of fun tattoos based off of some Sailor Jerry flash today. Some of my favorite kinds of tattoos to do; I always look forwards to appointments like this.
