Bittersweet...

In the latest issue of International Tattoo Art Magazine, (the one with Ozzy on the front), two of my tattoos were published. Unfortunately, only one of them was correctly identified as mine. Crazy thing is, last month, they posted some big, tribal tattoo, and said that I did it. What is going on over there at ITA????
Anyway, thanks to Bethany and Heather for coming to me and asking for custom tattoos, and having great ideas for me to work with.

Relentless Gallery Art Show went well, they had a great turnout, I met tons of rad people, and handed out lots of propaganda. I had three paintings up, none of them sold, but it was more important networking and getting my name out in minneapolis more. My favorite part of the show was seeing Roma di Luna, but they ran out of cd's before I got to them. damn.

New Sticker

Here's a preview of the newest sticker in production.
I ordered 500 of them today, and should have them within a few weeks.
They are 4.25 inches tall, perfect for bikes and whatnot.
I'll be sure to post about them again once I have them in my hands.

another week

Work's been fun, home's been good.
Finishing up my paintings so I can deliver them tomorrow for the relentless gallery show on Sunday.
Tomorrow is also the deadline for this weeks Sketch for Fecal Face, with the subject being "simplicity". This is what I came up with, Can't get much more simple than that.

Relentless Gallery

I have some new paintings in a show next Sunday, the 29th, in Uptown, Minneapolis.
Their website is
here
Above is the little graphic i did for their flyer and website.
It's an outdoor party, with lots of art and music. 11 artists, 10 bands, a stage, beer, food, etc, all for $5.
They have a noise permit, and say the show is from 10 am to 8 pm.
I'll post pictures of the paintings after the show is over, so I don't ruin the surprise.

Goldfish

Mabye it's unamerican, but I think goldfish are way hotter than koi fish.
Like that? That shit is funny. Unamerican. ha!
But really. Way hotter.

Scratch artist

Hyperspace Studios is asking for contributions from tattoo artists for a book called "Scratch Artist". The medium is those scratch boards, and the pun being a "scratch artist" is an insult for a tattooist that doesn't do quality work, or scratches people's skin with needles. I was quite amused.
Anyway, I did this piece for it, and am sending it off tomorrow.

Also, if you're on myspace and friends with my shop, Identity Tattoo, you must have received the message about Lucky doing $13 Friday the 13th tattoos. It was obscenely popular, and when I left at 8:15 tonight, the man was still going strong. I drew up a fun design I'll be offering the next time it comes around. Hope you all shattered your share of mirrors today.
