Foot Time.

I did this little cuckoo clock on Bria's foot today,
as a tribute to her grandmother.
Super fun, and she sat so well.
(she also took the above photo,
which i stole from her facebook page)






















I'm getting MY foot tattooed next week.
Mr Jon Sweet of Uptown Tattoo will be doing something for me.
My right foot, believe it or not,
is completely empty right now.
I'm not exactly sure why I'm getting it,
everyone knows those things never leave their boots.
But it'll be one of the best never-seen tattoos ever, I'm sure.

No time for logic.

Adam M has been getting a bunch of work added to his cuckoo clock tattoo.
It now has a background,
but still doesn't make any sense.
Apparently this clock defies gravity.

The photo is pretty crappy,
since, thanks to DST, the sun now sets before 5pm,
so an outdoor shot was impossible.
But we're extending it all the way onto his foot,
so there's lots of opportunity for better shots later.
This is just a blog, after all, and not a portfolio,
which I have to remind myself all the time.

Tomorrow I'm doing a lighthouse tattoo for the first half of the day,
and then a baby owl tattoo till close.
Awesome.

Summers are cuckoo.

Adam M is the new weekend front help at Identity Tattoo.
He tossed me a few ideas for a tattoo a couple weeks ago,
and I did up a few drawings.
I think, unfortunately, that I left out most of what he wanted,
and put in things he didn't ask for at all.
Actually, this had almost nothing to do with the original idea,
but he still liked it,
so we squeezed in this outline between appointments today.





Meryl and I turned 4 yesterday.
We were married that many years ago
next to a very sexy Connecticut lighthouse.
Meryl also just graduated from her MFA program last week,
and we have a bunch of art/home/garden projects and travel plans lined up for the summer.
It's already busy,
and it's about to get busier.
