Another week

Got to do another Sugar Skull and colour in a rose that I did on Chris a while back. Was good fun and we should be doing more work on his upper arm soon

Here are a couple of designs Jo Ardiles has drawn up and people have got done, both fun pieces to do.

Our first visitor.

Oscar brought his Friend David out for a tour of the town. David rocked....Check him out

More good stuff

Lot's of fun work in this week, here's a few pics that I managed to take...

This is on my friend Jay's foot to celebrate The Day of the Dead, just a fun little one to do

This next one just got completed this morning, it's on Sam and I think it turned out really well. Some bits are fresh but the Blue robe is all healed up

This last one is on Stacey who also has the Owl and the Pussycat in a fancy frame as well, really looking forward to finishing it off

And also I've just started this massive back piece on Paul and I'll get a better picture when we get the next session laid down

Jill's Birds and Flowers - Part Two

Jill sent me some imagery of old Japanese woodcut prints and Chinese bird and flower paintings. Here's some description of what she wanted from our initial correspondence: "Flowers - I love them. I'm a gardener. I like how perennials "die" in the winter and come back in the spring. I like cycles of life/death/rebirth. renewal. I like the idea of birds as symbols of freedom and their ability to take off and rise into the sky to see things from a completely different perspective than a human's very limited one." "Part Two" of this blog post is the second section, which flows down her arm. One more short session to tighten everything up, clean up lines, and adjust values.
