more attempts at traditional tattoo flash style designs...with bonus Skyrim screenshots

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

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
