who let the dog out

so today i had a visit from a good friend whom i've known for most of my life.
had a good session on her leg to get this done, still have one more session to tighten in up and put the last touch on it. but i think it looks pretty good so far.

forget me not.

today i dropped off a one shot piece at work. some flowers. drilled it out in about 5 hours.
eternal inks and the cheyenne hawk.

bad to the bone.

so here's some of what i did this week. got lots to do still on both these pieces but i look forward to it.

got a good 6 hours done on the ribs and got most of the background in there, and drilled for four hours on the head of fellow tattooer lars to block in most of the colors on his head. 

will get in there and do some more detailing but wanted a solid ground to work on.

the picture of his head are in a weird angle, which is hard not to get when you take a picture of a head, it's also 4 days old on the picture. will get better photos of this when we finish it within the next month.

zombies!

so i've been working on a sleeve that i started about 2,5 years ago today. been super fun and hope to get the last session done in a few weeks. 

here there be monsters!

so here i am working at Don't worry mama in västerås and i'm doing all monsters! everyday!
so today i got to start a sleeve on an old project and we'll be doing a large alien monster that even the men in black would be scared of.

on the sleeve to the right i used a swashdrive and the stigma hyper v2 to do the outlines, first time i've used either of these machines and i must say i was pleasantly surprised, worked the stigma with a 5 liner from lundberg custom supply and the swashdrive with a 14 liner from the same company.
didn't get to do all that many lines with the swashdrive, since most of it is background to the guy at the bottom i used thinner lines for most of it.

sperm whale...

sooo, i've been a bit slow on this thing lately. but i can assure you i've been busy, working on some awesome new sketches and thingamajiggers for artshows and book projects and other super interesting things of grave importance for future generations.

king of hearts and the queen of piracy!

so this is what i had my hands on today, and yesterday i did a "thumbnail" for a pirate pin-upish girl.
it ended up being kinda big, but fun. will continue that piece tomorrow.
since it's been forever since i drew a girl i'm taking it slow.
