Lately

I've been having to work just as much, if not more, while sick. No complaints here.
Many of the newer projects are challenging and I love it:

1. An Olivia pinup on a lady's ribs. She wants it "realistic and black and grey".

HXC

Back in 1996 I created a website for hardcore. A year later I bought the name HXC.COM. Five years after that our biggest day was well over 25,000 unique visitors. Nice.

Scratch Art Entry

After reading the Hyperspace Studios call for entries, I decided to submit something for the tattooer "Scratch Art" book. I've cross hatched my way around paper for years, but have never tried working with scratch art like this.

A few tattoos for the gallery

It's certainly not a whole lot, but I've posted a handful of new tattoos in this gallery. Also, for your enjoyment, I've made sure to include both meaningless commentary and random attempts at sarcasm.
