South of heaven II

Been a little while since my last blog. Been as busy as ever, starting new pieces and continuing with others. I have finshed these pieces in the last few weeks.......



I have also done a few pieces in one session too recently which is always nice. Had a lot of fun with this pin up. normally hate doing little faces, but i used a tight 3 liner to shade her and it it worked a whole lot better. shame u cant really see the detail in the photo......



.......want to do more lettering pieces too. i always have such a blast with them.......







......customers have been coming to me for really rad things at the mo. works been tuff but loads of fun and its good looking back at new photos and remembering thiings i have learnt......






....i still have a session to go on this piece, but am really happy with how its going and im not sure wen il get to finish it......






This little guy is a new edition in mine and Jo's life. he's so awesum.entertaining but very time consuming :)


So its nearly xmas and im glad to be taking a couple weeks out, to concentrate on doing artwork. Got loads of ideas for the new sketch book, so its going to be good to get my teeth stuck in.



Saw Municiple Waste play last nite. they wer sick!!!! hatebreed last week too last week, and the big four and judas priest are confirmed to play england next yr. FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

.shedding skin.

Halloween was awesum!!! i had heaps of fun working away with the boys at the convention and getting dressed up. Unfortunatly i didnt win the ' Face Off' but i was happy with my piece. Like a douche bag tho, with all the excitement of judging and magazine photos i forgot to get my own photo of my piece, but hopfully be able to get one soon. Heres some other pics from the weekend...........







Me and Jo aslo went to a little exhibition in Bath. Luckily we got there on the last day and managed to get these rad photos....









We've got Billy Hay working in the studio this week. Going to be a lot of fun. Really looking forward to watching him work and getting my fingers tattooed.

Want to do lots of art work this week............ i have a feeling its going to involove lots of skulls :)

seasons in the abyss..............

Had a rad week of lettering this week (unfortunatly i havent got photos of all of it yet) this one was a challenge to draw, but i love the way its turned out. think we are going to expand with sum bold lines and shading, but really pleased with the direction its heading. really want to do some more in this kind of style......






This black and grey pin up was a lot of fun too. was nice to start and finish a piece in one hit. i have been outling A LOT recently so it was nice to do this on saturday. Mark is always a pleasure to tattoo aswell :)





Its amazing having the studio finished. i dont kno why i havent done it sooner. its an awesum space to sit and focus as well as being inspired and excited. i havent worked much with oils, and i love the work which a lot of tattoo artists are doing with this medium. Sso i thought id get stuck in and start a piece this weekend, it was a lot of fun, although iv got a long way to go before its finished.





....i also did these this week. they will be avalible to buy at the Halloween Bash Tattoo Convention this weekend in Newton Abbott, Devon.....





.....i'm doing the deul on the saturday. im up against Hazel Nichols from Design 4life. Our theme is 'Witches' and we have 6hours to complete a piece. feels great to be asked to take part in this, although i am a little nervous, but im sure it will be a lot of fun :)

Halloween's nearly here :) ............
