come in costume if you want, but you don’t have to- I just love halloween.

I’ve been tattooing as usual, though:
putting together the art studio
all of my gear has been packed up for months waiting to be moved into the studio building.
the last few days I’ve started to set up.
flash vs “want to do” art – what’s the difference?
22×30″ sheet of flash.
it’s pretty simple.
flash is a drawing or design that a tattoo artist will do on anyone, repeatedly, it’s not a unique or singular image.
they’ve drawn or purchased the rights to tattoo it as much and as often as they want, and it’s often really cool.
“want to do this” means the artist has drawn a custom design and wants to do it, once, on one person.
the word “flash” is the difference: flash means images you can “flash” to show customers what you can do.
in the old days it was up on the walls, or in racks, in every shop and you would walk in and pick something.
it was all pre drawn, repeatable, ready to go.

spring thoughts ’23
I’ve been broke this month because I was sick in March. I’m thinking about doing a trunk sale, just maybe ten pieces. I’ll probably go on back to social media to see if there’s any interest.
I’ve been working:
and I’ve been busy in the garden as always.

I’m backing away from most social media as a primary posting location, it’s a process, but my work and essays and events will be announced here and on Patreon going forward. reposts from the site will go to sm after a brief pause.
I’ll be maintaining groups, friendships and portfolios at all sites but am in the process of removing content and migrating it here.

“I never feared getting an infection myself,” he said, because he knows “how infection control should be done.” But aboard the Diamond Princess, “I was so scared of getting COVID-19.”
“The cruise ship was completely inadequate in terms of the infection control.”
