First of the month and no returns

Did this nice feather today; I don’t do much of this ‘painterly’ style but I really enjoy it. I try to stick to the rules (lots of black, strong shapes etc) so it holds up over time but it’s nice to have the certain amount of freedom this style allows; I love the textural effect too, especially when any white is fresh. It kinda has a nice ‘grainy’ lookthat I like a lot. Will be good to see how it heals up…Also my customer Alex popped in to make an appointment so I grabbed the opportunity to take some photos of the woodcut lilies I did on him awhile back…. I like this style too; a bit different in that you have to be pretty precise with those lines!! If you wanna see this kind of work done by a true master I would suggest checking out the work of Duncan X; gentleman; scholar and all round good egg! One of the most original tattooers out there right now… http://www.duncanx.com

Stuff

Here’s some new stuff I’ve finished lately; hope to get some healed pics of these although it never seems to happen!

Here’s some stuff to look at… More on my facebook but I think I’m gonna use this for the stuff I enjoy doing and works in progress; mainly for myself but somebody might find it interesting…
