Update Fest

 Gotta crank the pellet stove if I want to get any painting done this time of year.

Starting a new painting amidst the technology loop.

Main office at Tatmaker Industries.

It's important to sync bbqing with painting.

Prints of this real soon.

In prog. 7/10th sleeve.

Glenn's arm, part fresh, part healing, part healed.

In prog. mech coverup sleeve.

X-ray shells

In prog. St. Mike sleeve.

This is what happens when my appts. don't show up...

Print final help...

Finished up most of the Aaron Cain add on piece.

Thumbnail study and lines for some mech I did last year.

I gotta get finished pics of this thing.

Flowers are fresh, waves and lines still pealing.

Ballpoint boredom madness, this is usually happens when I'm on the phone.

Tattooed my take on the old jim phillips cory o'brien graphic, that was fun, did a lucero one too, but didn't get any pics.

It's the motion in the ocean, or something like that...

2006

Dug out some flash originals from 1997, the designs on this sheet alone are literally on a few thousand people.

2003, hangs in my foyer...

Represent.

New painting maybe?

Bye!

More new prints

Hey, I have some new prints of the watercolor mech skull I just finished. They are printed on epson velvetfine paper, a square image on a 13x19 sheet. They are $40 shipped in a tube, so they don't get jacked on the way.

If you want one, email me at tatmaker75@gmail.com for paypal info.

Thanks!

The last few months

I've really allowed a backlog of work to pile up, and I'm going to start chipping away at posting it now.

I finished Bill's Tiger half sleeve a little while ago, I think we'll be going down onto the forearms soon, too. Bill's other arm is the giant green dragon with huge claws also on the site.

I finished the outside of the Moby Dick half sleeve, sounds like it may be turning into a full sleeve, too.

Finished up Glen's hanya samaurai, and I've almost finished the other arm with a girl head masqerade feather jewelry deal. Pics of that soon.

Worked on Eric's dragon koi leg some more...

Tibetan fire sword jam...

New Print Set

Hey, I have some new prints of the 'tatmaker' and 'tatfink'. I'm doing these as a set for $40 including shipping (in U.S.) As always, they are printing with archival ink on Epson Velvetfine paper (very nice, thick, textured stuff).

I think I'm going to pair up the red guy with some cool lettering for some shirts in the near future.

The green guy is a definitely a nod to some of the weird little green characters I would see from awesome skateboard artist Jim Phillips. I also tattooed it on my longtime coworker, Uncle Pauly.

On the original, I used metal flake green, and it came out sick.

Anyway, if you are interested in the prints, or getting tattooed for that matter, hit me up at tatmaker75@gmail.com, and I will give you the paypal info.

Thanks.

odds and sods...

so i finally tattooed uncle pauly the other day....

worked on ronnie's fishing half sleeve, one more sitting to go.

made this guy for part of my new site i am working on.

he should be in print form too (and maybe shirts), along with a finished version of the tat fink at the top of the page.

currently i am working on a new site that will be combining my portfolio site and this one into one, on a new platform, under the domain www.tatmaker.com

all the old blog posts and content will be imported into it, and so will the ability to follow.

 the new site will have more features, maybe have some video, and be designed with devices like the ipad in mind.

i've also added the twitter plug in to the right side of this column. i will be posting a lot more random photos on there, i've already been on there for a few weeks.

a little walk in eagle.

worked some more on bill's tiger sleeve, next up: some giant paws, rocks, and more bamboo.

lines for some recent random tattoos....

found this shellmech sketch from 2002 while i was cleaning out my art room, thought it was pretty crazy.

half sleeve of roses design from last friday's appt..

remember when all your customers looked like this guy??
