4.4.12

Put in a bit of work on my days off on the office side of the buisness.  I've cleared up the back log of emails for the most part, and fixed a problem I had with messages ending up in my spam folder.  So hopefully back to smooth sailing for now...  So here's what's new in easy to read point form.

-I updated the Appointments section of the website.  Hopefully it's easy to read on it's new background colour, and the information is short and to the point, causing less confusion.

-Emails are always welcome, however I'll be checking a bit less often, and only replying to urgent messages asap.  All booking inquiries will be replied to on Mondays and Tuesdays, as long as I'm in town and my time permits.  I always do my best to respond to every message sent, however, some weeks are busier than others, and I can only get to my inbox when all of my drawing homework is done.

-I added 6 healed photos to  my portfolio , and started removing older photos.  Still working on editing a few more on my memory card.  Once they're done, I'll add them as well.

-If you can't see any changes to the website, open the Preferences in your browser and clear the cache. 

-These days, I'm also trying to be less obsessed with my iPhone.  It's an amazing piece of technology that makes my life a million times easier in many ways... and does completely the opposite in many others...

Thanks to everyone who's been emailing and been patient as the snow melts and spring begins.  I'll say that summer is busy season for me, but in reality it doesn't really effect the amount of tattooing I do.  There are only so many hours in a day and so many days in a week... so the hours I'm available and willing to work and fairly set in place.  What does change is the number of emails I receive and the amount of time it takes to reply and sort through my inbox.  So please keep that in mind and be patient when waiting for a reply.  I will always do my best to respond to every message sent.  Thanks again!

Quick post now that I'm back from my Chicago trip.  I have a bunch of drawing to get to tonight so I don't have time to address everything I'd like/need to, but pictures are good.

Coloured Leanna's thigh before I left

Quick outline for Callum's arm today.  Good easy way to get back into things after getting tattooed.

I'll address this in a more formal manner on Monday and Tuesday, but "summer season" for tattooing has officially begun.  That means everyone who's forgotten/neglected to get tattooed over the winter months is rushing to get appointments right now.

This means it will take me longer to respond to emails, and appointments will be booking further out then a they did over the winter months, and yes, especially weekend appointments.  Please plan ahead.

Remember, lack of planning on your part does not constitute  an emergency on mine.  

More Monday... or Tuesday...

Third trip to Chicago

3.23.12

Here's the last few weeks worth of tattoos, I figured I'd do a quick update before heading back to Chicago on Sunday.

Worked on Dasha's tattoo last Sunday and finished up the roses and most of the leaves

Did this fun little mountain scene on Lindsay's 1/2 sleeve Last Thursday

 

Coloured the rest of Leanna's pineapple and the tomato's on her fruit sleeve.  This should be done in one or two more sessions

Super fun pocket watch on the back of Chelsey's neck Wednesday

 

Also Thursday, Reid is destroying this half sleeve and will have the whole thing done next session.  He started it Feb 8th.  Awesome client!

Outlined Jackie's first tattoo on Thursday.

 

... and finally, Pete Killed it today and got a huge chunk done on his owl.

I've been attempting to draw and paint a lot more the last few months,  most of which is for the purpose of studying.  It's stuff I'm just messing around with, and will not be publishing on the blog.  I'm finding it extremely helpful just working on exercises and ideas that I know no one will see... 

So unfortunately that's what I'm doing right now with the extra time I used to spend on updating my blog.  Hopefully over the next few weeks... or maybe months... I have new paintings or ideas to show for all the work... hopefully....  Here's some recent stuff in progress from the last few weeks of tattooing.
