I know I am a little late on posting this series on my blog but its too good not to share it. There are some that may have not seen Tattoo Age and I only hope these videos are inspiring to you as much as they were to me. Do yourself a favor and watch the whole series, you wont be disappointed. My favorite episodes are  Freddy Corbin & Mike Rubendall! If you watch any, make sure you start with them. Enjoy!

Butterfly for Courtney

This is the second tattoo that I have done for Courtney. She asked me to tattoo a butterfly that resembled the California dog-faced. So I took the reference and traditionalized it a bit. We were both very happy on the out come of the tattoo. Here is a link to learn more about the California state insect. http://www.netstate.com/states/symb/insects/ca_insect.htm

Do what you love for a living and settle for nothing less!

I love to see family businesses like these. There is so much pride in what they do and legacy they will leave  behind will live forever. I wish I could be apart of something like this. Not motorcycles necessarily, maybe in tattooing like the Leu family. I don't really know but I would like to build something where my family now and in the future can be proud of. I will concentrate on the hard work for now and my path should come on its own. Lets hope that path will fulfill my expectations for something great then my life.

Walk-in chrysanthemum for Michael

I love tattooing these flowers. I hope to do a lot more this coming up year!

Everything Went Black

Here is the painting I did for the Everything Went Black art show at GCS gallery in Santa Ana Ca. The show was a lot of fun! I saw some good friends and the music was on point. I want to thank everyone that made it out last night. I hope you had fun as well and enjoyed the awesome artwork. Don't forget that I will be showing a piece in the Oil&Water art show this Saturday Nov. 12th at Known Gallery in Los Angeles from 7-11.
