October already?!!? WTF! I havent updated since August, for crying out loud I need to get on the ball. Alot has happened since my last update, well not a whole lot, but good stuff nonetheless!! I started working a couple days a week at a studio much closer to home, in Charles Town, WV. I am totally stoked about it! Werewolfe Tattoo is 20 minutes from my house (as compared to the hour that it takes me to get to Leesburg), its a great looking studio and a very busy studio. I am still working in Leesburg a couple of days as well. So, Friday, Saturday and Sunday I will be at Inksanity in Leesburg,  Wednesdays and Thursdays I will be at Werewolfe Tattoo, our address is 814 N. Mildred st. Ranson, WV. The number is 304.728.9880 if you would like to call and set something up with me you can do so at anytime during business hours. Or you can email me kimmythehun@gmail.com just make sure to let me know which location you want to get tattooed at. Confused? Nah, me either. On to the painting

whats new? well work at the studio is steady with tattoos and i think ive been pretty good about staying up with painting (sorry Skyrim) , trying to do at least one watercolor project per week. Maybe.... my memory is shit so in my mind, I have been painting one sheet/painting per week for as long as I can remember :)   I have been having alot of issues with my hand, mostly my thumb joint and its rotation, and grabbing and using things that are smaller than a 1" tube. Also the outside of my forearm has been getting really tired. Sometimes when it gets really bad, the center of my palm hurts burns like shit too. When Im actually tattooing, my hand rarely bothers me. Its when my machine isnt running that it really fucks me up.. Im trying to balance my days at the shop with one larger (couple of hours) piece, and the rest of the day filled with smaller stuff. I am seeing a massage therapist, and wrapping my hand  when I sleep. This past week, Ive also been wrapping my

Two more traditional style tattoo flash sheets, spitshaded and painted with Dr Martins, on 140 lb cold press Arches. These are both 11x14 and going up in the studio very shortly .     Some goofy spiders, old school diamonds, cherries, an emo cloud and some naughty peephole action, with a sexy tattooed man pin up for good measure! I got to do a version of him on someone a few weeks ago, and would like to do a whole sheet of stuff like it, but probably rated R, for sure. funky angle , and the color is a little off.      And here are some old school horseshoes, a heart with wings, some tulips, orchids, a stargazer lily and a sundae I drew up for someone who never showed up for her appointment. Ever wonder where your design goes if you dont show up for your appointment? Well, usually to someone else or to another artistic project.      There are two more sheets to go up on the walls at Inksanity, making a total of four altogether. All of us threw down a few sheets to put

its been a minute since I last posted and it feels like it gets harder and harder to find the time. i think I might just started posting from my phone, with one or two pics and minimal text. I can get it out alot faster and not have one post a month. im all about function and efficiancy . ooh! and i know what video im going to post at the end of this junx. I have fallen completely head over heels in love with Instagram, and I post alot of works in progress and tattoos and paintings on there, ok, not alot but Im trying! and Im cutting out Facebook and trying to use Instagram alot more. Its really simple, clean, and if you trim all the bullshit, drama, whining, "my stomach hurts/lunch was good/ im tired" updates, and just get down to what *I* really wanna see....fucking pictures! So, if you use Instagram and are inclined my handle on there is kimmythehun please follow if you like my stuff. on with this tiny parade. I only have a couple of things this time around, tatto

what a mouthful. thats what she said. things have been busy as hell at the studio as of late and I havent had much time to do many paintings. Im still catching up on some scragglers (drawings I need to get done) to be completely caught up from my Sick Week of WTF. So here are two, and I feel like a bamma because I only have two to share but I like them both alot, it definitely feels like I was taking my time and not just banging them out. so heres an 8x10 I finished the other day , an old school rose junx like my giant stamp in the corner? i need to make a smaller one.  Im still working off the Strathmore watercolor paper, I have a whole pad of Arches I got for my birthday I havent even opened yet, Im whittling down my other paper and making sure Ive got a good hang of things before I break out the good stuff ;) and heres another 8x10 I finished last night who so blurry? A traditional tattoo style horseshoe and some flowers. You can definitely tell a girl did this. th

Here are some more water color paintings Ive got for sale. these have been done for a couple weeks, Ive just been out of commision (sick as fuck...for a WEEK = 7 days!) and getting back to being human again, and my first week back to the shop I super busy tattooing. So I havent had a chance to post , much less paint anything new. I have drawings to catch up on so ill try and make this one quick (psh. unlikely). Looking at these I see how far im actually veering from tattoo flash images, and though I want to try new things, i still really really want to paint old school tattoo images. I will start on that this week, for sho. In the meantime, here's these junx. If anyone is interested in these hit me up ( kimmythehun@gmail.com or on facebook ) for pricing and details. Im flexible. flowery floating lady head  8 x 10 Maiden type of girl, not really tattoo flash style neither in the technical sense or the composition, but I have been looking at alot of art nouveau images, and w

This past month I have really surprised myself, cranking out a painting damn near every other day. Most of them are 4 x 6, I have a couple 5 x 7 and (as of right this moment) 3 8 x 10's. Watercolor makes for quick work, its much much fast than acrylic and I really enjoy it. I can finish something instead of walking away from it and taking a break, which I hate doing. The process is like tattooing in the sense that you have the rough draft, the outline, and fill in. It feels really natural too. I dig it. With the 7 Deadly Sins artshow coming up at the studio I didnt think I was going to have much to contribute. then came this...new thing I fell in love with. I hope its not a passing phase because I asked for another set of inks and some fancy 'spensive watercolor paper for my birthday. I have not painted in a couple days since I finished the Reaper , and I know I need to take a quick breather... but I have started another one, its laid out in pen and I started some of the bla

Trying my hand at something new to me, something I am really starting to dig. For conversations sake Im gonna call it "watercolor" but with these little tattoo flash style paintings I actually used drawing ink. I have a set of fancy (haw haw) watercolor inks on their way to me but for right now Im using Windsor & Newton drawing inks. I like them because I am just starting out so I dont really know what I am doing- so the colors are bright and they are thin, but I also dont like them because the set the I bought the colors are very pastel like and they are thin. Watery would be a good way of describing them. Again, this coming from someone that doesnt know what they are doing really so what the fuck do I know? Anyway I had someone try to show me how to watercolor paint before and I gave up after about 5 minutes. It was really hard to do and NOTHING like acrylics (which i am still finding my way around). I dont know what happened...I have been watching alot of tattoo docu
