Proof of concept for Von. This drawing is the center of a venn diagram of so many of my interests in life right now and the direction I’ve been most excited to head in. If you wanna do something like this hit me UP! I ended up turning it into a proper hand drawing with charcoal and felt tips on the last slide too and I’m like yes this is it this feels right. I think I’m gonna make a run of prints which would be my first time and that’s scary but why not, I’m excited about it maybe other people will be too.

Last tattoo of the year was this wonderful freehand flash combo leg banger for @rolandknow who has been such an inspiration for me and supporter of everything I’ve attempted for such a long time now. This was my first year really tattooing in earnest and I’m so unbelievably grateful for all the work I got to do, and capping it off with one for someone so special to me makes me feel like I have to pinch myself to see if it’s real.

All time fave based on some of my charcoal flash and then freehanded the rest of it to fit. Posted the follow up piece we did and forgot I didn’t even post the original here yet

So far so good pt 2!

Took a stab at drawing this snake skull for Chris, stencil to second skin this took exactly the length of one Knicks game

New flash! Some drawings I’ve been working on for the past few months. I usually don’t provide a lot of context for the abstract stuff that I draw because I feel like one of the things that’s most fun about abstract art is that lack of explanation opens up so much more room for someone’s own interpretation if it speaks to them. The connections I’ve felt with a lot of the abstract tattoos I’ve received has always felt like just as much of an opportunity to connect with myself as it is a chance to connect with the artist. Some people love context though and it’s a good exercise for me to talk more about stuff. In a broader sense the majority of what I’m interested in is nature and the seemingly endless source of unaltered art that it provides us with. I feel like you could take nature references almost exclusively for art and literally never run out of crazy stuff that’s just living here with us. Living in a city though I’ve adapted this a little bit to think of the urban landscape as an extension of nature and the relationship between the organic and inorganic. I’ve been hyperfocused on graffiti especially, both in its design and also in its unrelenting disposition to cover the structures we’ve built to suppress nature. A beautiful piece of graffiti and ivy swallowing up a building feel one in the same; nature’s quest to cover the world in its art despite our best efforts to cover it all in concrete, and after all aren’t we just nature experiencing itself. These drawings have felt more like journal entries in a way, soaking in my surroundings, letting my brain rearrange them, and spitting them back out onto paper. It’s always fun to look at something abstract and feel a strange sense of familiarity in it, we all share the same world in common so these are all something you’ve seen before whether you noticed it or not :) Oh and I just think it’s cool too, that’s also a large portion of it lmao

An abstract droopy rose for Steph from my flash! Added some shaded sections because Steph has better ideas than I do and I wish I thought of adding those first. There’s a really great healed piece on the other side of one of my like first ever drawings that I meant to take photos of and include but every time I’m like oh hell yeah we’ve gotta get a healed photo of that when we’re done I forget but it’s cool to see them side by side

Thorns for Dallas! Super hyped on how these came out, I’ve been having a lot of fun adapting ideas for customs into this combo black and stippling style so if you have any ideas for what you think might look good like this send em my way

Flower power for Emma 😌🤙 kept trying to fix this from uploading blurry idk how to though so if it’s blurry just know that it’s not blurry in person unless you have vision like mine
