Drawings 6-10-13

Image
Cool title huh? Here are two completed portraits I am uploading. I think I am averaging one a week, or at least it feels that way. I am working on my first female portrait and once I finish her I'm thinking if doing one more (i already have the lady in mind) or*** drawing an animal like my dog or a wolf or something hairy or*** paint a sheet of tattoo flash of bugs. I miss the instant gratification of painting flash, but drawing portraits doesn't hurt my hand as much. So, its a toss up. Maybe I can keep a portrait going and work on the sheet during the same week. Less thinking...more doing. So here is the completed Swan from The Warriors (why in the fuck Hollywood feels the need to remake this movie is beyond me...I will NOT even acknowledge a remake...stick with the O.G.) Then there's Clint. Mr Eastwood if you please. From one of the Dollars movies. And then Westley from the Princess Bride <3 sigh. Ok . Cary Ewles if you prefer but I prefer Westley or The Man in B...

huge update...all meat no potatoes

       Been a minute since the last post and I'm pretty busy at work so words are probably going to be few on this one. These are all 8x10's that I've done recently, with Dr. Martins and arches. I have been slacking lately big time with painting, been doing alot of custom work and working on a sketch / travel book of custom designs that I can do on the fly.      heres a couple mandalas and some skulls. most of these were gifts to friends or trades for other paintings  Enjoy and thanks for looking. 8x10 mandala 8x10 skull 8x10 death cherub 8x10 mandala Valentines flash- 2 11x14 sheets 8x10 rose 8x10 roses and a candle 8x10 tip sign

Holy October Batman!

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 pain...

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 wra...

Spitshading

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...

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...
