Portrait drawings 7/17/13

Well its been an eventful past month or so getting settled in at Colorworks. Ive gotten to spend time with my dad and sister, see some old friends, do some tattoos and be a pain in the ass to Tex :-) I am gonna do a watercolor flash sheet soon, ( I have the designs drawn out and everything) I am really trying to get this drawing pad filled up. Its got 50 sheets, and I'm 13 pages in. I would like to do some portraits tattoos eventually, but there are so many bad portrait tattoos out there, I DO NOT wanna be "that guy". So, practice it shall be.  I really need to paint a few of these, and maybe do a few in color (not crazy about color tattoo portraits ...but on paper) to expand my brain a little.


So here's a wolf that I did. Gonna do more animals, they are a much bigger challenge than faces. This one took at least a week.
Have you ever seen me angry? Technically this can be classified under "self portrait"








Mr Schrute. Not super crazy about how this turned out. meh.
This is humongous, I am not a security threat and my middle name is Kurt, not fart.



And Michael Scott as Prison Mike. Clearly,  I love The Office.
Do you really expect me to not push you up against the wall, biatch?
 


Beetlejuice - this is my favorite so far. i feel like i say that every couple of weeks but really, as of right now, he is my favorite. Until I finish the one Im working on right now (hopefully)
 
I'll eat anything you want me to eat, I'll swallow anything you want me to swallow, so come on down and I'll...Chew on a dog!

Thats it for now. Im working on Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver and when i finish him and a couple others I will post. Or post Travis in a step by step. Yeah, step by step. Thanks for looking!!

As far as my schedule goes, Im pretty flexible as of right now. If you would like to get tattooed (new stuff/old stuff covered & fixed) email me or call me at the shop! I also have a book of custom drawings I would really like to do so if you are interested, let me know!

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

Heavy Heart Mandala Book Volume 1 - preview and sneak peeks

Image
    Heavy Heart Volume 1 (pink cover) the first is a mandala coloring book I released in June 2017. It took abut a year and a half to get the first one published. Beginning in January 2015, I started creating the majority of the designs back then. Many of which are influenced by stained glass, art nouveau patterns, sculpture and jewelry. Initially I wanted to publish a "how to" guide on making your own mandala - since all of the early designs were hand drawn, using a template I made.  I also had lots of ideas on exactly how I wanted the book designed; I wanted pages that were easy to tear out, thick paper that would hold up under watercolor and some other features. Due to the production costs however, it wasn't going to be easy, cheap, or affordable. I still want to make a how to guide, its just going to take a little bit longer than I have the patience for at the moment :)    While the idea I began with turned into something else, I couldn't be happier wit
