this well-worn tag is on one of my oldest homies. we’ve had great times gettin’ up and painting the town red (and lime green and dodger blue and gun metal gray etc) and this little tag is a tribute to that. this piece is well over 10 years old and he asked if i could re-fresh it it a bit and breath some new life into it. here’s what i came up with:
nothin’ more fitting than making it a tribute to graFF life!
it might have just become the Year of the Dragon in the Lunar scheme of things, but Pisces season is in full swing ’round these parts.
Age of Pisces = water signs abound + dope a$$ personalities
it’s said that we all have diamonds within us – that latent talent, skill, and ability for something is harbored by us all.
it’s just waiting to be mined/shined/cut.
wanna see how these diamonds were forged? peep it out.
Usually the number 13 is associated with bad luck and ill fortune.
For those in this biz though, it’s the very opposite.
See someone you recognize?
You saw her here.
!!!EXCELLENT!!!
Wanna be the hippest cat on the block?
Wanna be the absolute Man? (or the WOman!)

(woulda had more pictures but my camera lady was having too much fun with the bean dip – lol)
did a rosy piece in-between my client’s two existing tattoos:
boLD.
beautiFUL.
TraditionAL.
the original piece is here.
we wanted to elaborate and build on the piece, making it even more spectacular. 
…i wonder where it’ll go next?
alright, it’s time to make a big announcement…
after several successful years in AZ, i’ve decided to move my art over to CA. we’ve had some great times together, Arizona… but it’s time for me to keep it moving. i don’t want anyone left out, so if there are any pieces still floating around AZ that haven’t been completed yet, contact me now. we have about 3.5 months to get ‘er done before i’m up and outta here.
and for all those people who’ve been waiting to get something by me, here’s your chance! mention this Bon Voyage Sale and make it easier than ever to get a lasting work of art.
another cool piece i did some additions on. the name + hands were already there, we decided to add the birth flowers around it and made it into a beautiful complete piece.
this awesome client came to me via Yelp! – pretty sweet. she arrived with the name already intact; it’s a memorial piece for a close friend who passed and she wanted to build on it with the poem. i threw the rosary in and we both love how it turned out. she told me stared at it for 2 days straight. lol.
