It feels like i haven't finished any pieces for ages, but i have been working hard on loads...

.......blonde, bikini wearing pin up. always a winner....

.....this is the first colour session on a sleeve which i'm super excited to be doing....

....this is a new piece started on Emily. i shall be working on it at the Liverpool show, so come by and take a look.....

....and i can't wait to get more done on this (also be working on it at Liverpool hopefully!)

Me and Marcos worked the Newport Tattoo Convention last weekend. We worked hard but had a lot of fun.

i worked on some fun pieces.....

...and finished this. its my first full colour pin up face and i'd love to do more.

So this week is going to loads fun. I'm going to be Dj'ing on wednesday night at 'Discord' in Ponana's, Bath. If you like brutal music then come on down. Got some free girl's t shirts to give away too!

This week we are celebrating Friday 13th by doing 13's for £13. no appointment necessary just come on down and check out the designs available.

And after that we are heading up to Liverpool for the convention. Really looking forward to working on some amazing pieces and catching up with people.

Pretty sad about Jeff Hanneman. hope its not the end....

I got to tattoo my dad again last week, which is always fun. We started this piece on his forearm. Think we will be doing a lot more on him!!!

Here's some more work in progress pieces i have been doing this week......

....and this collaboration back piece which me and Marcos (attwood) are working on. cant wait to get colouring, pretty exciting to see how it works out.

I'm excited to be getting tattooed by Fil at Newport Tattoo Convention in a couple weeks, and then working on some rad pieces at the Liverpool show. The studio is going to have a big booth at both shows so come by and check us all out. We will also have prints, sketch books and t shirts for sale.

abandoned by time

Yet again the month has flown by and we are well into march. I was hoping to have my second sketch book done by now, and i have no idea where the time has gone.

I am extremely pleased to have finally done this piece. It took around 6 hours in total, over 2 sessions, and i oved every second of it!!!!

...really hope i get to do a lot more heavy metal related work :) next one i'd love to do is the motorhead logo.

Also had a lot of fun starting this pin up. its going to be part of a sleeve in collaboration with Marcos at the shop. So im aiming to do it a little more traditional than normal, and can't wait to do more....

Mike (from Broad st)'s sleeve is coming a long really well. hardwork replicating another artist work, especailly when the artwork is totally amazing but also heaps of fun. still a long way to go. check out http://www.facebook.com/bizarregallery?sk=wall to see more of his work.

Its a shame the photos haven't come out so great of this next piece, im pretty rubbish with the camera. its a moby dick inspired half sleeve. quite different to anything i have done before. its hard not putting in any stronge, bright colours but i am totally loving the dark eery'ness we getting with it. this is about 8 hours in.....

 And here are a couple finished pieces......

I have decided to sell a lot of my older painting and prints. I have everything either in the studio or on my facebook page, so take a look and see if there is anything you would like!

I am aslo going to be working the Liverpool Tattoo Convention and the Tattoo Jam in Doncaster. if you would like any work done please contact me via the studio.
