Painting

So I've been trying to learn to paint again, I'm nowhere near my goal as yet but I'm just painting stuff now just to learn how to get there, kinda like studying a map before making your actual trip, a few people ask me, why do you always draw crying girls and death and stuff, well, I don't know we all take a muse from somewhere, I found that when I was going through a tough time a while ago, I felt more inspired, I do like a lot of nice things, sleep, pugs, shar pei's, roast chicken and stuffing sandwiches, etc...etc. but for me I like the visual of darkness, the mood, the emotion, and that's where I find my own muse, I guess I'm just a goth at heart.

Peace.

Forever True, Liverpool.

You know there are certain moments in your career where you feel a lot of hard work has paid off, well that happened this past Thursday and Friday when I got to spend a great time at forever true in Liverpool, the shop was beautiful the customers were friendly the city was lovely, it may of been a touch warm but it was fine! Got to do a few cool pieces and I wanna thank my customers for making the trip to see me! Thank you to Paul for making my life easier and for being a star, and for the big man! Mr Richie Clarke PDC a massive thank you for letting come and invade your premises for 2 days for introducing me to tapas and for generally being rad! So wise and funny and so so angry haha! Thanks for believing in me and giving me the opportunity I wont forget it man! So anyway I'll ease off there before I get to emotional, but do make the trip to Liverpool and see the guys at forever true and get some great tattoos or how the kids say sweet ink bro! Haha

Hope and glory bound!

Ghost house

Hey so I've been slack, it's true it's true. Been neglecting my blog account. I've just had a lot of stuff that I'm dealing with currently but there is an end in sight! I'm looking at houses this week and I am super psyched about moving and getting a fresh start! Ghost house will be my main and only place I'm working in the uk other than conventions or guest spots. So if you want a tattoo by me or anybody else there really, feel free to come to derby and see the G/H family and I'm sure you'll have a great time. So here's a couple tattoos I did whist there!
