The Answer to Everything.

There's been a wave of good mail, lately.
Zines, shirts, and now stickers.
These should hold me over until the birdhouse ones come.



Anna is thinking about getting a bird added to her birdhouse tattoo since it was mistaken for an outhouse the other day.
Ha!
I'll do it, but now I'm excited to tattoo an outhouse on someone.

Speaking of houses, congrats to Mr Albie Rock and his lady Jess for their big purchase.
Owning a house is a lot of work only if you buy a dope one.
New houses are easy.
And lame.
Since their's was built pre Civil War, I'm sure it's amazing.
Can't wait to see it.

If you want some of these stickers, stop by the shop or meet up with me next week on the East Coast.
If you don't live here or there, email me, and I'll send some out.

Cotton, Wood, Glass.

Big plans are being made for the Minneapolis Tattoo Convention.
September 18th - 20th.
Identity Tattoo will be there, rocking a corner booth.
We'll be tattooing, giving away stickers, and having a good time.
A big box of shirts arrived yesterday that I'll be screening up soon, exclusively for the convention.
Guys and girls cuts, 42 shirts in all.
Free to people getting tattooed by me at the show, and for my other clients who are just there for the fun.
As supplies last, of course.



The hours of the show are kinda strange, I'm spending this week figuring out time slots and doing some drawings that need to be made into tattoos that weekend.
If you know you want to get tattooed by me then,
and have a super awesome idea, email me.


I spent a couple more hours painting this last night.
It's not done yet, but I'm getting somewhere.
It's really big, and going up outside.
You'll see.
I have a couple of house paint brushes,
a bucket of white, a bucket of black, a tube of acrylic yellow ochre, and a craft paint bottle of (watery) red.
I had a yellow craft paint, too, but i haven't used it.
Those things will be kites after another couple layers, and I'll be adding a foreground one or two as well.


My mom has dug her stained glass supplies out of the basement.
They haven't been used in 15 years, but we'll be there Wednesday, and Dean K needs a fancy window for the treehouse he's building.
No kidding.
She got a book out of the library and is studying up, Meryl did it a little in high school, and I have a fistful of drawings.
I hope she has lots of earth tone colored glass to choose from.
