watercolor tattoo flash style - 2 Deadly Sins show submissions

Image
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...

Halloweeny flash!!! up for grabs 10/5

Image
I started this project a week or so ago naively thinking it would be done by October 1st (pssh, yeah right) with the 'Carnival' Art Show at the studio coming up (Oct 15th!!), trying to get paintings together for that and trying to organize and plan for a Halloween party at my house, get my costume, etc...uh. well lets just say Im only submitting two paintings to the art show. I wanted to do 3, but its probably not going to happen. Ive wanted to do a tattoo flash set for a while, and basically its just a bunch of designs I did, for the occasion and some of them compiled from sketch books I've had for a few years. Altogether there are about 60 designs, ready to get hammered in your flesh I cant say I will offer them at a discount, because lets face it, tattoos are not one of those things you want to get at a discount.  however!!! I will say that it is no secret that there is nothing more rewarding than doing a piece of your own artwork on someone, and coupled with the ...

"Carnival" art show submissions- a family affair =-)

Image
Ever since Insane Ink became Inksanity Tattoo Company back in June, alot of things have changed for the better, one of the main reasons being the push for creativity. we had a "skull" themed art show a couple of months back and it pushed everyone involved to make art . Which is one of those things that gets lost in the trappings of everyday life. Art, music, and hobbies in general get neglected in the real world.You kinda have to make them a priority. that, or poke that lazy jerk in your brain until they get up and get to work. I did a couple of paintings, and a couple paper mache skulls. Truth be told I would have like to at least do one more painting, maybe two, but I just cant come up with the time to do it. I feel like if I would have done a couple more paintings that I would have pushed myself harder. So , Im kinda bummed. I feel like Im going into school with half of my homework done but oh well, theres always next time. On with the good stuff. I painted a few paper...
