more work on cat girl

tried a painterly background. slowly building confidence to start painting inside the figure, but im really scared im going to mess it up. also its charcoal and messy as hell. im thinking about doing some sort of black linework in the background. im totally open to suggestions. anybody? what does it need?

working on a show

here is one of my sketches blown up into a charcoal drawing. i think i want to paint the background a kind of yellow ochre, something mildly textural. this is part one of a 3 part series of pin up's with animal heads. im also doing a fox and a great white shark. ive got about 3 or 4 lesser pieces i also want to include, almost all of it will be fresh work. more to come!

new business card idea for Temple Tattoo Studio

ok im back

after several months of drinking and getting completely off course with my life, im pretty sure im back and im going to start drawing regularly again. im in a new tattoo shop now and im ready to start as soon as i get my gear in the mail.

in the meantime im working two part time jobs at Spin Cafe and gander mtn in rochester. My new goal is to make enough money and clientele through the tattoo shop so i can quit at least one of these jobs haha. im gonna say by...mid to late april. god willing.


also here is my most recent drawing and my most recent tattoo. similar themes to last august. thats life i guess.
