..uhh...nevermind....

Hey y'all. So in my last post I spoke about being a tattoo apprentice at a shop in Loveland, CO. That's not happening anymore. It is definitely something I want to do, but right now it's not possible. I mean, the shop wanted me to be there full-time and not just not get paid, but pay them 150$ a month too. This would be cool if I could afford it, but right now, we are trying to get a place here in Colorado, and it is not financially possible. Oh well, maybe later. Besides, I think I can learn how to tattoo in other ways..maybe even faster than I would have been able to there. So anyways that's that.

Oh yeah, everyone cross their fingers, I interviewed for a graphic design job that I will be really, really, really great for. Its for a music company here in Colorado. I would be doing what I'm best at- designing stuff for bands like show posters, websites and merchandise. It's pretty much the job I always wanted. So think happy thoughts, and send me your positive energy! I'll tell everyone what happened when I know if I got it.

Hey y'all!
So guess who's gonna learn how to tattoo people? You got it, after lots of 'waiting for the right time' to start an apprenticeship I found a shop that I am gonna start at. It's called Combat Ink and it's in Loveland, Colorado. For those of you who don't know, thats just a few miles south of Ft. Collins and under an hour north of Denver. I have a sneaky suspicion that I will either be living somewhere boring or commuting alot...or both! Speaking of which, we are still trying to settle down near Loveland, like in Longmont, if anyone has a cheap room for rent Contact Me!

So I have been working on a drawing I like alot. I thought I would give a sneak peek at it even though it isn't done yet. It's on 11"x 14" paper with black ball point pen.

I can't wait till I can tattoo people like this.

Hey check out this video, I was at this event. It was kinda cool. You can see my art in the background a couple times and then half way through you see me sitting in my booth for like 2 seconds. Alex Grey was at the event, it was cool to meet him since he is one of my favorite artists.
