Keeping with the theme of catching up on old photos....

June 17th Deadly Tattoos in Calgary had their "Getn' Tanked" show and I was lucky enough to be invited to participate.  I'll be completely honest, I don't own a motorbike, I've never even sat on a motorbike... So I was fairly surprised how big the tank was when I went to pick up from the salvage yard.   Needless to say,  I've never painted a gas tank before, but that's the fun part about participating in Deadly art shows...  Usually puts me out of my comfort zone.

I was both shocked and honored that Rich Handford of Kapala Tattoo in Winnipeg bought my tank before the show even started.  Rich is an amazing artist, so it makes me really happy that he ended up with my tank.

So I finally remembered to check out the Blogger app posts on my desktop computer.... what an absolute embarrassment.... those photos looked horrible compared to what I'm used to.  Not sure if it's the application, or the photo editing app I used on the iPhone... either way, those post are gone.

I've got a ton of photos to upload, but for now let's just start by righting the wrongs-

Interesting day today....

Started colouring Kevin's arm today.. and about 30 mins into the session, the power on the entire block went out for well over 2 hours.  Super shitty... but at least all I was doing was colouring... It would have been horrible had we been 2 lines into outlining a half sleeve.  Unfortunately, this was all we got done today... I know there was obviously nothing I could do about it... but I still felt pretty bad...

After the power came back, I tattooed this rose and horseshoe on Brad for his daughter.  The power stayed on the rest of the day... which was awesome.

Coloured in a bit of background, cherry blossoms, and koi on a sleeve I haven't worked on in a long time.

Back at the studio today.  Easy day, tattooed for a couple hours and finished Shalyn's cover up.

Back at the studio tattooing today.  I cleaned the hell out of the shop to start the day off.  It's always nice to start the work week in a nice, clean environment.  It takes me about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to clean the shop top to bottom.

First appointment was working on Amy's deer.  I shaded out the antlers and part of the neck/body.  It's nice to see this coming along quickly now.

Afternoon appointment was starting to cover up an old rose with tribal on Shalyn's leg.  Sore spot, sat like a champ.

Day 5.  I tattooed Tracy who drove down from Vancouver this morning.

And this evening I did a small cover up on Jenn's foot.... which I've been trying to upload for 30 minutes...  I don't know if it's blogger or the hotel's internet connection, so I guess I'll try again tomorrow from home...  I'm tired..11 hour drive tomorrow...
