New Ink

So today, I visited my buddy Italo at Light House Tattoo in San Francisco. He has given me a great tattoo before. So today he wanted to give me another one. It's been a while since I was letting him ink me up, so what the heck. I told him what I wanted and he delivered. Today he did the outline and the shading for me. Next session will be color and cleaning up the lines. But this will not be the end. I thought of other ideas for my leg, and he said he will do it. I can't wait till my right leg is done. When it is I'll upload it. Till then, enjoy my pale, hairy inked leg.

First Showing for the Year

I am happy to announce that I was invited to participate in a group show this coming Friday, January 15th 2010. The show will be held at Space Gallery here in San Francisco. I am happy that I was invited and I hope that I will be able to see some familiar faces. Especially since it's the new year. I was told that the theme was "Characters". I was able to make up my own, do something existing and so on. The following is the information for the show. Again I hope to see many people there. The only downside is I can't stay for too long. I have a morning meeting at my other job.....sucks....

Happy New Year!!!

First off, HAPPY 2010!!! I can't believe its already the new year. Time sure does go by fast. I have alot of things in mind for this year and I hope to accomplish all of the things I have planned out.
So I was asked again by Buster Call of Japan to design his New Years card for this year. I was so happy and pleased that he has asked me again. Here is the art work I have done for him which will be seen by all his friends and families he sends the card out to.
So I'm sure everyone has plans for this year also. I hope everyone had a safe new years eve and have a great and happy New Year. Rock on !!!!
