Blue Otter

let it be known that I am a big fan of body art. I have only two tattoos myself, a generic pawprint on m right ankle I wish I could take off as the good old "first tattoo mistake" soon as I reached 18- and then there is my "Norse Kitsune" when I was heavily obsessed with Norse Designs and Deities, as well as my Japanese. So I figured a the time to merge the two. The latter of the two designs was inked by a very talented friend of mine Stacy Sharp of Sharp Tattoos In a "Ink for Art" trade we agreed to do Stacey was looking for an otter design. The Idea took some time to "hammer out" so to speak- as I had a finished design in my sketchpad back before many of my possessions got stolen back in summer so it all had to be reworked. Sometime later this was born. I wanted it to mimic in style an earlier personal design I did of a tribal orca for myself.

Ganesh Flow

Many updates in one day- I'm clearing the backlog to you have something to look at here and this blog doesn't collect "e-dust". This started as a sketch when I was waiting for my Yoga class to start, I arrived unusually early that day and because it was cold rather then walk and poke about NoHo I sat down and looked onto the urban garage walls of the studio. A fickle muse is funny like that at times, She pops her head out of seemingly nowhere, and inspires. Rather then focus so much on anatomy, I threw the artistic rules outside the window and went with the flow of the piece. This was originally supposed to be a sketch of Shiva truth be told! The prayer around the outside ring reads ""Lord Ganesha has a curved trunk with a powerful body. He has the brilliance of a million suns. May the Lord, remove all the problems from the actions I aim to achieve"

Freelance Work has been keeping me busy, which is good! I apologize to my viewers and followers here for lack of updates. My resolution (If I may so post here) is to create more "folio" worthy art. Dig deeper, try to find my niche in things. With that said I have a few pictures to share. The first is a tattoo design for a good friend of mine whom has a strong affinity to kestrels and humpback whales. Inspired by the Japanese crests to a degree. I find it difficult to gives images names sometimes, so I just decided to nickname this one "Sea and Sky" I well realize that birds wings don't bend that way- artistic liberties taken of course :)
