sunday styles

spring is springin' again, folks! this young lady purloined herself a beautiful bouquet of poppies and a lily. i couldn't help but to wrap them in twine. also, drew these lovlies directly on!

signs that you are hungry...

here are two new signs, the first pair for the Cabo Blue Taco Shack in Downtown Monterey...

and two sides of a new shingle for the Ambrosia India Bistro, replicating their old foamcore and vinyl sign. lettering was pre-designed.

ouching tiger year of the dragon

finally finished up a grueling rib panel on a friend of mine! tattoos on the side hurt a bit more than a lot of other places on the body, so the incentive to get big pieces finished is somewhat less. my hat is definitely off to this man.

 

and my first dragon of the year of the dragon! woo hoo! this fella also sat like a champ. still have to shade some style into the cloud around his existing tattoo...

alaska

looks like a pretty neat place! one sitting. great job, lady!

do work

here's one from the last week. this gentleman wanted a crown with his daughter's name on his forearm in a woodblock print style. followers of this blog and my minor local art career know that woodblock prints are something i love to do! i couldn't help but to schedule him an appointment and get to cutting. this is the result...

well, do ya?

this is already turning out to be one of my favorite years! so many fun projects and good people...

first up today is a crazy fun tattoo in homage to Clint Eastwood and his role in Dirty Harry.

welcome to the jungle eagle

alright, so there is no jungle eagle. at least not on this blog....

what i do have for you this time, faithful readers, is a small recap of the Friday the 13th Tattoo Extravaganza that we here at Olde Town Tattoo put together over the last couple of months. The $13 tattoos sold remarkably well. my 3 designs are pictured below. i had a TON of fun with these guys and i could pretty much do this bold, folky look all damn day, so if this is up your alley, bring thyself into the light!!! it's worth noting (without naming names) that each person that got one of these tattoos were an absolute pleasure to spend time with. come get more hurted you guys!!!

i also got to see (and tattoo) some friends from the Bay this weekend. she is an animal lover and is in the process of getting a sleeve of, well, animals! this one is special not just because of who wears it, but also for the illustrative style not common in tattooing. pardon the green fog in the background, this was drawn on...

twothousandtwelve

first tattoo of the new year! this young lady has the constitution of a brick wall. well done, miss. this is a fitting compliment to the year of the dragon that we are entering, as the phoenix and dragon are often depicted in art as complimentary opposites; the dragon representing the male side of things and the phoenix holding it down for the ladies.

don't miss out on our art show and tattoo event, happening Fri. Jan. 13th, $13 tattoos at 1pm, art show at 6pm. Click here for all the details...
