In the Nick of Time

I finished the large scale flash sheet that has been keeping me occupied these last few weeks. Foolishly, I thought I would be able to just sit down and bang it out since I am on vacation. However my daughter took great joy in shaking my work table whenever possible, and so painting had to be done in small bursts while she napped. Considering we head to Raleigh on Thursday I guess I finished just in time. The next week will be filled with unpacking and organizing and settling in to our new home, and then back to work!

Oh, and here is the sheet:

Back to Work

Starting on August 5th I will be working Friday and Saturday at Glenn's Tattoo Service in Carrboro, NC. Details can be found on my contact page.

Things to come

Well I have been on vacation for about two weeks now, and while I have been enjoying myself I feel that it is time to get back to work. Hopefully that will all get figured out soon. In the meantime I have been staying busy with a new large format flash sheet. Here is a little sneak peak:

Packed My Bags

Goodbye California.

Finished

I managed to finish Nate's side before leaving. After leaving all to the 11th hour we had to cram to get it done. He came in on wednesday and we did the ship and border, then came and sat again on friday for the flower and banner. He did great and I am honored he let me do such a huge fun tattoo on him.

Also, finishing this tattoo marked my last day of work at Industrial Tattoo. The shop has changed a lot over the years and I am happy to have been able to work with so many good people. I will miss you all, past and present. Cheers

Going Away

Just finished up these little going away gifts for some of my friends and coworkers. I can't believe that after 5 years here I am leaving in less than a week.

More Finished Stuff

Did some final work on Gabe's (Illuminati Eye Guy) girlfriend's arm.  She backs up his claim that they are going to come visit North Carolina, so maybe it will happen. This was a fun piece and she sat great.
