...and again

2011-12-12T22:30:00.001-08:00

Yes..that is a black snake coming out of a blue vagina and it only took 6 years to complete! Super stoked on the flufiness of the hen but I think the little chick steals the show, and something about this sunflower just makes sense..I dont know why

Hello again

2011-12-12T22:13:00.000-08:00

All this stuff and the next post are from the last couple of months or so, I kinda forgot that I had a blog for a minute. The hyena is a cover up,and the sleeve is just straight up northern Cali fauna, the reaper was really hard to draw that crazy angle for the girl, it really hurt my brain, and the robot was intended to be nature taking over technology,in contrast to the technology killing man tat next to it that I didn't do,so I put a swirl over it.

What do all of these customers have in common? .......all three are named Matt and they got sweet tats

The Matriarch

2011-09-23T14:34:00.000-07:00

I have not painted in about 6 months and it was really making me nuts. I finally got some inspiration to pull something out of my ass for the Garage Ink show...obviously been looking at Frazetta and that by no means, means that I came even close to it being as cool as the man, but it was really fun to sketch as I was going and I think it came out pretty cool.

Dinosaur bird

2011-09-01T17:33:00.000-07:00

A few from this summer, Seems like I have a ton of larger stuff that is slowly coming together, the werewolf still needs some background but I just had to put it in here. The image I used for reference for the dead bird actually had fingers at the top of the wings, I though at the time that this was neat,like a missing link to some dinosaur gene,so I put it in the drawing, but later a client who is a farmer told me that that is not the case and that the dead birdie was probably a mutant that the parents pushed out...kinda even better than intended. Pretty stoked on how the octopus frames the bottom of that chestpiece,I will probably use that trick again, and a bear that worked for the Polish army in WW2, pretty cool imagery fo sho'

Sheer Terror!

2011-09-01T17:11:00.000-07:00

When I heard Paul was gonna put out a Sheer Terror 7", I immediately hit him up to let me do some art for it, Sheer Terror was and still is my favorite NYHC band, and I fully cherish the memories of the days Paul lived in Kansas City, which was my home at the time. I recently went and saw them play up in S.F.... moshed my ass off,drank too much, got heckled by Paul,saw a couple of fights...another perfect show, thanks Paulie!

Get yourself a copy of this 7" with 3 new songs,a poster drawn by me, and all the spite that the Reverend Paul Bearer could fit into a 7"x7" package! WWW.DEADCITYNY.COM

All In

2011-07-13T21:31:00.000-07:00

How could I not be stoked on an alien eating a spaceship!! While doing this jester I couldn't help but wonder if this is my style of traditional tattoo,fat shapes and a lot more black in there than apparent, I feel the same about the gypsy, the formula is the same just the drawing is more refined.

So glad you found me

2011-06-06T14:08:00.000-07:00

Some pics from the last couple three weeks.It was kind of a crazy start this year with tons of new projects and too much drawing time outside of work but finally getting to bring a few to fruition. The chest piece took a bit,but dude was coming from Afghanistan to get tattooed,and Zombie traveled from Arizona,really fun tattoos,pretty glad they came to me.

fun with time

2011-06-03T19:37:00.000-07:00

I know I posted this backpiece before,but I was going through the photo archive and figured it would be fun to put these up in progress,I wish it would let me upload all of the photos but 5 seems to be the limit so that's whatcha get.

la luz de este mes

2011-04-27T19:11:00.000-07:00

Some stuff that I got good photos of from recent weeks,I just got a rotary from Special Technique,and just kinda using it on everything to figure out what all the hoopla is about...Pretty fun to use but not feeling like it changes my game much.Regardless I do like his machine design so if you are into them things try one out. Also did a t-shirt design for my new band,again in reverse and I'm gonna run it to my guy tomorrow to get some made....rock on!

Sweet dreams

2011-03-20T21:11:00.000-07:00

Interesting

2011-02-09T18:01:00.000-08:00

Iv been getting away with some unconventional layouts lately, although they may not make the whole image visible from one angle ,I think It gives the tattoo more movement

2011

2011-01-10T13:29:00.000-08:00

This mermaid tattoo is probably the most adorable image I'v ever done,pretty stoked on the artichoke also. Im not the japanese tattoo guy at O'Reilly's so when I get to rock one out Its totally satisfying.

Orchid relations

2010-12-01T13:03:00.000-08:00

The progress pics are always fun to post. I painted these from a photo I took of Kristi's orchids, with a not so subtle addition.

No Style

2010-11-24T13:32:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I wish I just had a single style that I like to do...but that would be boring

Promise Keeper

2010-10-04T15:47:00.000-07:00

As I mentioned in the last post, satanic pornography it is.

People have been hitting me up about this drawing I did for the Idle Hands Tattoo art show last year. I had the image silkscreened onto Crescent board and then hand painted them with liquid acrylics, each one a different color scheme and one of 13 total. They are 16x20, numbered and signed with some cool stamps front and back. First come, first served. If interested, they are $160.00 plus $10.00 shipping (U.S.). They will be shipped flat since it is pretty thick watercolor stock. If you want to order outside the country, please email me first to figure out the postage.

PayPal only , just send the payment to:

Symphony of feelings

2010-09-27T16:08:00.000-07:00

Painting a bit more so here's a couple that were dry enough to photograph.Iv been a little touchy-feely lately so these are definitely swimming in that vein.Both are oil on canvass,"Symphony of chemicals and bone"(upright) and "An unbearable feeling of loss"

I will try to get my shit together and bring some satanic pornography up next...for those of you who might like that kind of stuff

Pirate girls,mermaid and a victorian vampire,not a bad post.

Been a while

2010-08-07T15:49:00.000-07:00

I have been meaning to keep updating this thing ,but staying in touch ain't my forte,just ask any of my relatives.Heres a couple from last week that came out cool.

Kansas City + one

2010-05-29T18:26:00.000-07:00

A couple of tattoos from Klem and I Kansas City trip,last month.Sure glad to finally finish Jason's chest piece,four years in the making and covering up my third tattoo ever! plus some huge Old E lettering.Elissa's robot was probably about as long also.Couldn't wait for the healed picture to post the she-wolf goddess,so It looks a bit rough but you get the point.

Black Plague Style

2010-03-29T14:09:00.000-07:00

Black plague theme,wish I had better photos of the rats and fleas going ring around the rosie,kinda Robert Williams feelin.Finished the other side of Greg's ribs,with a flapper style girl.

The transfer of energy

2010-03-21T14:03:00.000-07:00

On some level this is a representation of the universe.The old feeds the new in an endless wave of death and rebirth.20 x 60 oil on canvas.So fun to just geek out on some sci-fi type o style.Any patrons of the arts interested in owning this can call the shop.

Things to be stoked about

2010-03-10T18:56:00.000-08:00

Really happy to have finished this chest piece,and Adam just drew up a logo for a music project I got going on. "The Bad Light"

Chef was wound to tight for Vietnam

Death to my enemies!

2010-02-13T19:34:00.000-08:00

When doing big tattoos this intricate I feel like a dumbass and that they will never be finished,but when Its done Im so glad to not halfass.

Purified in Blood

2010-01-21T17:17:00.000-08:00

This was a fun little project,a t-shirt design for Norwegian metal band,Purified in Blood.I inked it reversed so it could just be made into a screen from the original drawing,nice little mental exercise and I think it turned out pretty cool.

Little by little

2010-01-04T13:56:00.000-08:00

Well this is just starting to turn the corner for me,I always find that getting past the midpoint is the hardest to work through especially when I don't get to paint everyday.

eddie!

2010-01-04T13:48:00.000-08:00

I probably learned to draw from copying Iron Maiden record covers so this was a montage of all the cool Eddie stylings Iv ever liked. Devil girl masturbating on the other hand is what happens when someone tells me to do whatever I want...and then still gets it.

Nextsteps

2009-12-22T21:02:00.000-08:00

Feeling a little lazy through the holidays,but I got a bit more done.Still a long way from there.Thanx for the feedback!!

Painting progress

2009-12-05T11:54:00.000-08:00

So I guess some people are actually looking at this blogpost thing,so I will try to be more current with it.I thought it might be neat to do a "in progress" of a new painting so I dont have to finish stuff to put it up.

So here are the very first steps: sketch,transfer and underpainting.

Venom!!!

2009-11-01T12:44:00.000-08:00

Some fun stuff from recent weeks.The wolf is based on Venom's official bootleg album cover,one of my favorites when I was 13 years old.Im stoked on Herb's ribs lots of detail for a ribcage but he maned-up to get it done.

Tree tattoos can be weird to figure out but I think Im getting a good grasp for them,probably a good thing cus Californians love tree tats.

My favorite Jackelope so far,wish I could have gotten a better pic since it has moved to N.Y.

all kinds of dead

2009-09-06T18:28:00.000-07:00

Painting and flash for Spider Murphys show @ Minna on the 10th of Sep. plus a couple of deliciously rotten tattoos.

Epic struggles

2009-07-14T19:49:00.000-07:00

I got to finish some rally fun stuff this week.

Zombie guitar

2009-07-06T16:45:00.000-07:00

Me and Adam painted this for Alec.I did the zombies and Adam did the pinstripping.Took forever but I think It turned out nice

Rib King

2009-07-06T16:32:00.000-07:00

I don't know why everyone wants rib tattoos these days,but these are a few that actually got theirs finished
