Wow! Haven't posted here on SG in quite sum time.
Hope everyones holidays were fun.
Not much as far as Tattoo goes these past few months. It always slows big time around October till end of December.
During that time, I did keep busy with a # of art projects.
First thing I did was a new Mural for a child's bedroom. The theme was "Under the Sea" Unfortunately, the customer had a very limited budget, so I had to cut back on alot of details I wished I coulda put in.
Here are a few pics:
I also painted a couple old cabinets for the same customer. I will NEVER do something like this again. It was a total Horror to do *Ugh!*
I did a couple of my finest Pastel Portraits for two new friends of mine
Sarina Valentina
& Foxxy
With a new one coming for another friend Britney Markham
Last thing I've been keeping myself busy with is Upping my Photo-editing/Photoshop skills.
Here are a few recent pics:
Me as the 'Red-Hulk'
Me as the 'Iron-Patriot'
I got into a 'Gameshow' theme & placed myself & some friends in some familargameshow settings. First was the 'Price Is Right', second, 'Family Feud'
The third was a special request with 4 of my 'lady' friends on the set of the 'Wheel Of Fortune'
Then I got into a "TRON: Legacy" Theme:
Currently I'm working on some photo editing for Squeak
Once complete, I have another mural to start, then I'm planning a trip to Vegas to visit/meet some new friends.
2011 is starting off pretty nice!

Had a awesome night at the recent event: Reflections Art & Fashion show. Saw some sweet art, checked out a bunch of vendors, & got to hang with a bunch of great friends like Squeak, who not only walked the runway twice, but ended the show with a dance that will not be soon forgotten

I think I can say that this year was the best trip, to the San Diego Comic-Con yet, for me!
I had a blast!I'd been planning the trip since I missed last year's Con, & was determined to attend this year.
I went out there with a great group of people/friends, we stayed at a sweet hotel (The Marriott) right in the middle of San Diego's famous 'Gaslamp District', less than 3 blocks from the convention center.
While out there, I got to check out the Convention *of course*, Went out to some awesome restaurants, & got the opportunity to attend some great parties.
Here are some highlights/pics taken at the Con:
There were great, lifesize displays from some of the successful movies this past year
I was able attend a bunch of sweet panels during the week, like the Marvel Wrters Panel, which included Chris Claremont & Matt Fraction
& the Rob Liefeld(w/Deadpool) panel * I am not a fan of his but he did come into the panel with a decent sense of humor, even making fun of himself at times - but I still don't like him*
I got to see some really sweet outfits, worn by some very pretty ladies...
& a few funny ones as well.
I like the pic above *Spider-Man Carrying Spider-Man, While playing Spider-Man*
Other highlights were the IronMen display, The Light-Cycle from the upcoming Tron: Legacy movie, & a cool interactive unit for the new game "Red Faction"
Got to see many celebrities, like Malcohm Macdowell & Seth Rogan, & visited many Small Press booth's like 'Possum Press Publications'
Guys at the 'Mega 64' booth attracted loads of people the last day by dancing like crazies *It was Funny as hell!* Lol
Of course, the trip wouldn't have been as fun, if I didn't have such great friends with me like Squeak & new friends I met while out there like Bob
Squeak is such a sweetheart & a even sweeter friend, & Bob is truly a fun & luvly lady & I feel lucky to have met her
Squeak & Murnau hanging in the Lounge at the Old Spaghetti Factory
At the 'Gaslamp Strip Club', where you cook your own Awesome Steak! with Squeak , Murnau , & Metaverse
Other great guys we met at the Con were Sean *Another one* Drinking & driving his jet
& Timmy sitting at the Lounge, workin the mustache
While at the Con, I got to attend the Tweet House Party on the Battleship: Midway museum, hosted by William Shatner & his guests Brent Spiner, Levar Burton, & others.
Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better trip, except I had the misfortune of meeting a very sweet girl, who worked at the Marriott on my LAST day there, so I couldn't capitalize on a very sweet, pretty thing
I planned to give my Twitter/Facebook/Email info to her, with the hope of becoming a Twitter pal or sumthin, then when I return next year we can get together, but alas, she was not there at the hotel when we were leaving *Missed opportunity*
I think, next year, I'm gonna plan to STAY in San Diego a couple days longer than the Con itself, & see what the city has to offer without the Con there
