I found this too funny.

February 21st, 2012

e mail out of the blue appeared in my inbox today.

“Hello this is  (I took the person’s name out) can i speak with the owner or the manager of the tattoo shop and do you accept credit card as payment  i am hearing impaired…and i want you to draw an Dragon tattoo 4 inch with color on their Back and a maximum of 2 hours on each person and i want you to get back to me with the total estimate for 10 people because i have a party coming up on the 29th of february and i also want you to know that the people who will come to have the tattoo will come with a private transportation driver… and i also want you to know that i will be making full payment with my credit card information to charge for all expenses i want you to get back to me with the type of credit card accepted and i also want you to know that i have attach you the picture of the tattoo… and i would like everyone that is coming to have the same tattoo for all. and i also want you to get back to me with your cell phone number and shop address so that i can have your shop information complete with me so that i can forward to the driver who will drop the people to your shop to have the tattoo.
Thank”
I thought about saying yes even though I don’t know how to tattoo, have a tattoo gun, or the time to do anything extra before Feb 29th! Maybe I can do painless tattoos, in water color. Care instructions, never wash, do not perspire, rub, scratch,  or apply sandpaper. DEFINITELY NO TOPICAL ACIDS! and it will probably last a few hours.
And who has a party where everyone gets the same tattoo? If you bring a plus one, that is a commitment!

Poster time

February 20th, 2012

Portion of the poster I just did for Visionary Tattoo Festival and Art show. The full version will probably be in all the usual places this is advertised in.

Asbury Park boardwalk.

Inspired by Stoya.

Inspired by eating swords.

Smiles everyone!

Too much to do!

Great experience painting today with Anthony Pontius. I’m extra inspired and feel privileged to be able to paint with such great artists! The under drawing was done by Brian Despain.

Painting in front of humans!

February 8th, 2012

I’ll be in Philly for the Philly Tattoo Festival Fri (Feb 10th) where I’ll be painting with Chuck Angeline, Buddy Nestor, and Dan Harding. I’m willing to paint anyone who wants to pose nude live for the group. Twist my non painting arm! Tattoos definitely a plus. I’ll do my best Shawn Barber impression.

Enigma from Visionary Fest last summer.

Sat I’ll be at Last Rites Gallery for a charity painting jam with Anthony Pontius and about 20 other artists in the New York area. The results will be auctioned off for ICAF. Come drink and watch painting happen!

Wish I could find this model again!

I have some prints for sale!

February 4th, 2012

One of the prints available.

It’s an Etsy thing only because I’m lazy and haven’t created a good set up here. There are a range of images available from safe looking still lifes, caricatures, to the gallery work that you see here. Try to contain your excitement and all try to rush through the virtual door at once… wait a second, what am I saying? Please EVERYONE try to rush through the Etsy door at the same time. See if I can produce all those prints in a timely manner!

After a day in New York's mechanical underbelly, I come home inspired to paint strange configurations of the body and the machine.
