back in the saddle

yeah mama, i had a great vacay! lots of drinks, bikes, banjos, blastbeats and good times. here's some fun new funk for you and yours...

these kids came in together and got some really fun tattoos, maybe my metalhead-ness makes me a sucker for rune tattoos, maybe.

 wish that i was smart enough to get an eagle for my first tattoo.

 now for the high test stuff...

this man is a badass. if you ever see him on the street he'll prolly help you pick up the stuff that just dropped out of your defunct grocery bag, but know that there are 4 snipers waiting for you to slip up...

a very sweet tattoo in every sense of the word....

and a REALLY fun tattoo on a great lady. sorry for the green in the background, there was a lot of drawing put into these guys...

yup.

by the way, heard you say you were skippin town...

time for some more linocut fun with my buddies Civil War Rust who are doin' a mini tour to Arizona and back. i decided to do a small run poster for them to sell for gas and beer. another linocut, but this time made as a reduction print or 'suicide print'. with a reduction print you use one block for all of your colors as opposed to using a block for every color. much harder, much messier, much much more rewarding, and a tiny bit faster.

here's the first pull....

after some drying and finger crossing, i pulled the second layer on top of these, and...

isnt that neat?! i thought so too.

autumn in april

here's a couple new ones for you, in the spirit of spring (sorta)

first, in like a lion...

this was really hard to photograph, so sorry for that.

next up, a bouquet of eastern and western oak leaves and acorns...i could tattoo leaves every day, let that be known. i could also eat banana splits everyday, but that's a different thing altogether. anyway:
