November 2024; the light to see

It snowed just a tiny bit tonight.

My camera has been on the fritz so I’m using all my spare cash to replace my phone after about 5 years; refurbished stuff is all I ever buy so that gives you an idea how old the thing is.

Got to do a few fun tattoos today-

the owl is very small. the lighthouse was very fun (and is on a friend who farms!)

Will be working tomorrow too.

I’m going to likely be spending Monday trying to figure out how to revive the local Food Not Bombs, which seems like it’s currently defunct (I haven’t been able to do anything with them in over a year and lost track) so that should be an interesting day!

bummer of a season huh

check the resources post if you need to get involved; there’s a whole list there.

IT IS BATS

let me know which design number you want; each has an orange number next to it. if you’re not sure, add a lil description.
come in costume if you want, but you don’t have to- I just love halloween.

if you are far away and want to take these to a local artist to be done, please just drop me a few bucks via cashapp, paypal or venmo. 

(these flash designs are mine, but you can get another tattooer to tattoo them if you pay for the reproduction right)

the watermelon season is over, and Lulu isn’t happy about it.

minor site updates!

I’ve rearranged and freshened up a little.

there’s now a garden page, I will be fleshing out a little better.

I finally put in a portfolio gallery, it still needs a little work.

And the main page has new image and links!

fresh tattoos under the fold.

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.

a pleasant disaster
