This weeks been long to say the least. Thinking about planning a non tattoo related vacation for myself not sure where or with who but that'll come. Tomorrow evening i'm excited to be attending the Skull and Bones Art show at Sinful. I'll be working through the holiday weekend as usual. My nephew started hockey this week i've never had more trouble with him then trying to fit him with a mouth guard, taking it out of a pot of boiling water scared him for some reason hahaha. He did however get skull and cross bone tape for his sticks, not bad taste for a 4 year old.

Little Thissle Action
This guy was ran over by a tractor and lived to tell about it.
I thought that kinda shit only happened in movies.

Fun Little Dog Portrait
He already had the outline of the guitar pic on his arm so i incorperated the background

Started this really fun nautical piece on this young lady for her first tattoo. Probably one of the most bad ass saying I've had come in in a long while. She could only sit for the line work to start but who can blame her ribs suck.

I found this little banger a lot of fun as well kind of mixed symbolism. I would enjoy seeing a sparrow actually try to fly away with a anchor in real life even one of its own size.

I was hoping to update with some fun photos from nuit blanche but as life works on occasion I wasn't able to attend. From what i hear i didn't miss much but thats only one source so far.

Today is Thursday

Septembers rolling down quit just thought I'd through up some tatttoos I've been working on.The first is a cover up on a old friend Mike from the St. Catharines area the man sat like a champ for 5 hours to line and get some black done definitely going to be a fun piece when its all said and done.

This little birdy was a fun banger on a Western student. I forget the guys name but it was his second tattoo and took it like a champ.

These guys are a ongoing project with a client of mine with a MASSIVE arm i've had girls lower backs narrower, he asked me to do some colour trible at first so I figured this would be a good route to go with him. He loves sailing and liked how the light source is kind sun setty... whatever works.

I couldn't be more excited for this saturday i'm going to try to take off from london early to make it up to Nuit Blanche in Toronto rain or shine. I haven't be able to make it for a few years now so i'm really looking forward to wandering the streets, checking out some exciting new exhibits and, meeting some new people. Thats all I really have time for right now works catching up too me.

Day of the dead time.

Today I've decided to keep a type of journal log of my work, paintings and, machine tinkerings for my personal reference and possibly for some peoples enjoyments.
