    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

  After a couple of roller coaster weeks with my dad in (and out) of the hospital, I didn't get much of a chance to let everyone know about the books being completed and released. I didn't get a chance to do much, honestly, other than visit him, find out what is going on and keep him company. So thanks to all the folks who were flexible with me moving their tattoo appointments around, and allowing me to take some time to be by his side.      So, here is a post about them! I fully intend (over the next couple of days ) to blog about each one individually with a couple teaser pics of each volume to clear up any confusion about the 3 books. Why 3? Isn't one book enough? (no) What do the small mandalas look like? Can you use them for tattoo reference? Will they make a clean stencil? Are they fun to color? With the exception of the first question, all signs point to yes.  Volumes 1 - 3 Heavy Heart Mandala book - Available on Amazon.com 🏵 http://www

Man it has been a long time since I posted - uh, like 3 years! ALOT has happened, but at the same time, many things are still the same. I am working in West Virginia again, at Boomtown Tattoo in Martinsburg, WV I finally published my mandala book - Heavy Heart (Volume 1)  I have enough material for Vol 2 and damn near finished with Vol 3's mandalas. Once I have enough for #3, I'll file the copyright paperwork and proceed with publishing. Yes its a coloring book, and its got 52 symmetrical mandalas that are also great for tattoo reference. The pages are a medium weight paper and the designs are readable enough to color, yet not get over whelmed. It's really inexpensive considering there are 52 mandalas - You can purchase your own copy here:  Heavy Heart - Mandala Book on Amazon.com I am playing around with stop motion animation, which you can check out on my YouTube channel  or enjoy this short clip I made a few weeks ago - its completely silent and happens to b
