I actually started these guys a few/couple/cant remember months ago and got busy with life and had to put it on hold. because they are a pair it felt REALLY weird that one had been completeled when I took a pause, and i swear it makes the whole procrastiation thing 100 times worse when you can FEEL an unfinished project nagging at you everytime you walk past the room its in. stopping halfway or for a break (more than a day) is usually the project killer for me. unless i finish it that day, its survival rate drops rapidly. thankfully this wasnt the case, and also i proved to myself that yes,  I CAN pick it back up and finish where you left off. so I snagged a quick pic of these guys, one done (no laquer) and the other one ...just waiting C'mon lady, dont leave me hangin...  I didnt really know what i was going for with these guys, other than skelly-fied, and gaudy. check. and check. I have a SUPER big one im in the middle of that they definitely resemble, and will post w...

I got really lucky a couple weeks ago , I posted on fb asking for old magazines and a couple of folks really came thru and hooked me up , and ive been cutting and pasting steadily since then. Magazines, especially fashion magazines are chock FULL of shit (literally) to make something with, all you really have to do is figure out how and where to place the images. I used to buy magazines in my early 20's and enjoyed reading them, I guess its been a really long time or that I really never noticed how many fucking advertisements for make up, diet supplements, skin cleansers, hair products, etc etc. its really just like a book of commercials. let me stay on track before a rant starts... So I think I may have a touch of OCD, that or I really enjoy organizing . Or maybe I was just thinking ahead since I received about 30 magazines.... my high tech filing system                                     ...

and Im super excited! Ive always given painting and stuff Ive made away but today I sold this junx , the Madonna and Child I picked up from a flea market and repainted. I sold it to Mandy Ward and also got a sweet ass painting that she did.. .I love it and cant wait to take it home! Thank you so much Mandy!!!

Ive started and dropped this blog about 4 times over the past couple of years mostly because its a pain in the ass to make time to do but I think I figured it out. Im a tattooist by trade but I do alot of other stuff art related that serve many a' purpose. 1. keeping me sane. you know when you have an idea or feeling that you just cant shake? making art (we'll call it "art" for claritys sake, and "making shit" doesnt have the same...uh. effect) cleans my brain out, to be blunt. 2. It keeps the good creative part of my brain moving , Id rather make something, paint something, draw something etc than rot in front of the tv. when i keep my brain on a creative kick or at least feed into it when it hits, it makes me feel like I am getting better at being an artist. 3. Its expressive. Im a pretty vocal and outspoken person. I have alot of opinions, and like everyone else I like to express myself. so, tattoos are for you, making art is for me. I never went to sch...
