it's a sign!

i have recently fallen completely in love with signs and the pugnacious craft of sign painting, a trade as hard to enter and master as tattooing! here are a couple of my swings at the medium, still sussing out material and techniques... all respect due to all sign painters, these were gifts to people.

and a couple more of those 365's that you love so much, these were done sort of late at night, so....

and gosh! it must be your birthday! here's a tattoo too! this kid is in the military and realized after pledging 6 years that the US military was entirely responsible for the eradication/ decimation/ genocide of the native american peoples (well, the disease scourge that the military brought helped too...) so he got this tattoo as a sort of posthumous reparation.
