when your soul embarks...

another foot tattoo...jeesh. this is one from the summer. it was fun to do. emily really likes ben gibbard...not he best picture in the world but whatever. i.m not a cool hipster kid that went to college to take pictures on a digital camera. just saying.

that girl is poison...

some days it would be nice to just do sailor jerry flash all day long.

bleeds no more...

quick sketch and outline for a chest piece for a girl. it.s her first tattoo and she really likes the band silverstein. i don.t. i never really listened to them actually. maybe i do like them. i think they are victory records...so i am guessing i wouldn.t like them. i am a snob like that.

i.ll post a picture of this again when the tattoo is done...maybe.

robert frost

i did this little number on ms. hunt. she came to me with a line from the poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening and said she wanted a compass rose. i took what she said literally. she likes it. i likes it. HI-5! to us.

thanks for looking.

stick her?

circle jerks...

started this circle jerks tattoo the other day. it.s on my friend terry. he really likes music and he isn.t afraid to let you know.

i.ll post a finished picture when i finish it. ahdoy.

thanks for looking

sketchy...

i drew this outline for a 'client' that decided to not show up for their appointment. now this lonely guy is just hanging out in the back of my sketchbook crying himself to sleep every night. just thought i would share that with you. thanks for looking.

rats.

i did this tattoo awhile back. just thought i would share with you incase you haven.t seen it. it was really fun to do, maybe because of the 8 thousand shades of green in it or just the fact the balls are huge. i dunno. you decide. thanks for looking.

my dream house.

i found this old church for sale one day while i was lost driving around the back roads of some little town. it.s being sold as a residence or for a congregation so living there would be totally awesome. just thought i would share that. thanks.

this is my bestie...

this is my main dude spencer. he.s cooler than you. if you didn.t know that already then now you do.

cocks and roses

so i don.t update this anywhere near as much as i was planning too. here are a couple tattoos. i did the peacock on amanda a couple days ago. the roses were done a while ago. you get the point.

i.ll post more soon. promise.

book of the month.

UNDIGESTED KERNEL: The Vacation Pictures of Scott Harrison.

i don.t know much about this guy, other than he tattoos in portland, but that.s ok, it adds to the mystery i guess.
i was pretty excited when this book came out a couple years ago. i have been a fan of scott harrison.s art work since like 2002. it.s the perfect picture book for your coffee table and a great conversation starter. there.s a forward by don ed hardy which is kinda cool, i guess.
make sure you buy this directly from mr. harrison at www.headbandbrothers.com he might still offer a color print along with the book that will brighten any den or childs bedroom.

2009...
