Finished this painting up last night. There are definitely some things I would have done differently design-wise, but overall, I'm pretty happy with it. The lesson here for any aspiring artist, plan your shit out. I got ansy about starting to paint and didn't plan enough. Lol. Whelp...on to the next painting!

So I drew this drippy panther when it was about a billion degrees out over the summer. Tyler was the generous sort of gentleman and reached out to get it tattooed on him. Team work makes the dream work friends. You too can be a cool gentleman or gentlewoman like Tyler if you let me slap something on you out of my Big Book of All Killer, No Filler. Smooches!

A fun start to this big ol' tiger tattoo. The idea was based off of the Korean Dream tiger art trend that happened a little while back. If you're not familiar with that it was, look it up. I don't always like posting large scale projects in such early stages buuuuut, it's super fun and I'm thrilled to be be doing a big ass tattoo based off of that concept. Kyler sat like a rock. Tough as nails. I'm very stoked to get back into it. As always, books are alwasy open for your ideas or mine. I've got tons of flash and ideas for tattoos, big or small. Love you all. 😘

"Well, here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth. Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil."

It may not be a perfect one to one quote, but it sums up how we all felt last night. We laughed, we cried, we said goodbye. @lbm_bar I love each and every one of you and from deepest, darkest recesses of my heart..thank you, for everything. ⚔️❤️❤️❤️⚔️ taken in Lakewood, Ohio by @eric_kaplan01

Ol Leif is the goodest of boys and therefore deserves to be commemorated. Boy howdy, do I love doing pet portraits. Hit me up if any of you out there love your dogs as much as Mikey loves Leif.

Finished this one up. I have plans for the next 3 already. Lol. How does one acquire more time in a day? Also, in case anyone is wondering, any one of these paintings could be modified to fit into a leg or arm sleeve. Which I would love to do...hint hint.

Man. So it's been over a month since I posted a tattoo pic to Instagram. Can you folks out there in insta land ever find it in your hearts to forgive me? Anyway, did this feller from my flashbook the other day. I dig it. Technically it's not really a book. It's just a big ol' pile of designs that I dump out on a table and let you root through. Anyway, if you want to grab something out of the "book" let me know!
