quick post of the painting i finished yesterday.

black reign vs. black rain

ok, quick post before i head home....

so this week ross had his Black Reign CD launch party at hidden agenda. it was a pretty big line up, so i'll only mention the 2 overseas artists.... Horatio Polard and Timothy C Holehouse. I was doing the merch for these 2 chaps so the majority of the night my view consisted of this.....



Anyways, i found someone to cover for me while Black Reign played, and i caught Tim and Horatio's sets, so all wasn't lost. Here's a few pictures i took on the night.....







In other news i think i may have just bought something AWESOME online, but i aint gonna post what it is til it's been shipped..... coz stuff like this can fall through..... *fingers crossed all goes well*

Anyways, a thank you to all my customers who braved the Black Rainstorm warning this week! thats what i call dedication! 10 points all round! :)

afternoon quickie

too busy to blog this week, what with all the work, all the backed up design work, all the gigs, and Tim being here...... BAH!

anyways, today was meant to be a designated drawing day, but i got a fun walk in and couldn't say no. it was pretty darn small, on a wrist. i think the whole thing is barely bigger than 3 inches.....



anyways, i spent last night tattooing tim after hours, but that's a different post. it needs photoshopping together coz it's a wrap-around. anyways, off to see Tim play the Wanch in a few hours. gonna be a good'un!

here's the man behind the beard.....doing what he'll be doin a little later.



Tim's playing a noise set tomorrow night at hidden agenda.... so here's a sample of that too.....

why not?

so i get asked to draw some weird stuff, this time, it was a skull and a dolphin making a heart shape. the girl in question really liked this tattoo i did a while back, which is where she came up with the idea.



quite a challenge to make this work.... i think it came out pretty cute! sat pretty well for a nippy little spot right up on the back o' the neck.

i doubt i'll make it coz of work, but tomorrow night at rockschool there's an acoustic gig on at rockschool,featuring the wonderous tim holehouse, dirty dan and the 7 seas, tiff lau and gabe,and 6 pack of wolves. should be a goodun'!

so instead of posting todays tattoo i'll be posting the painting i started instead. long story short, a guy was gonna get a colour portrait of king kong (awesome huh!?) but he rocked up for the appointment and decided he wants it in the same style as this piece i did a while back. so had to push his appointment back a week or so for prep work and all that jazz.

so yeah, new painting started and lined. (don't fret comission work waiting list. they are STARTED! and i'll have you know photocopiers aren't the easiest thing to make look good in a painting!)



in other news, i designed the logo for Black Reign and it's getting used on the next CD..... the next CD (the triptych might have some interesting guest musicians on it so keep your eyes peeled!



right, off to catch the Caspian gig, so it was kinda a blessing in disguise that half my day got freed up!

ok, so finally, something workwise to blog about. i was starting to get paranoid i was stuck in some deep dark hole where people only ever got tribal and dragons tattooed.... ( i can't even pretend to be into that anymore. i tried.... briefly... ) i'm kinda hoping as soon as i leave hong kong i won't really get asked to do dragons no more.... but i really doubt that'll be the case. *fingers fucking crossed though*

so anyways, back to today. today was a fun day at the office. started off with miss rachel the flight crew world wide traveller, and we did a nice little extention on the piece she got....... a while ago!

i don't even remember posting it, so this is what we did a while back.....



and here's how we extended it....some more blossoms and a bird



this pic is outta focus coz i'm a douchebag, but i figured i'd post it anyways....



ok so tomorrow is my day off, but i got a house guest coming this week so it's gonna be a case of flat cleaning and other fun shit. alrighty then, i'm gonna head home before Ross gets any more into Leprechaun than he already is, coz that would most likely end in blood spillage. i can't be doing with that film.

quick post of a painting i finished last night.... again, sorry for the lack of tattoo posts, but tomorrow, fingers crossed, that will be amended! til then..... hope this'll tide y'all over.
