So after a long motivating talk with my mate Jonny, I have decided to once again redo the promotional piece that I posted about last time. I am just sketching down idea after idea until I come up with something everyone is happy about. And because of all of this, I have spent the last 6 hours searching flickr for makeout pictures. Grossly awesome. It's also amazing how many bands have the word "makeout" in their name. Mikki and I snuck into Tesco yesterday, and then were finding almost anything we were saying or saw hysterical. I can honestly say there was a lot of inappropriate laughter from the two of us after the first 2 minutes. But really, I wish I had the balls to dance like a twat everyday.The football team and I are playing a match tonight, and I can't say I am really looking forward to it. At least we get to play a team near us in the table, and everyone else says we should win...that should at least be entertaining. Oh, forgot to mention that we are playing well at the moment, we have won three games now, and are starting to really gel as a team.
Some of you may remember me taking on personal tattoo commissions a few months ago. Well I have been slowly (VERY slowly) working through a very long list, and finally have gotten to the "best for last" pile. To make up for the amount of time I have spent getting my shit together with these, I have decided to pick it up a notch and really kick my own ass on these.
I just finished a tattoo drawing today, and to be honest this thing really took me way way too long. Not only was the research on the specifics a bitch (the girl who commissioned this wanted a very specific sparrow which apparently is never photographed in flight, with very specific flowers), but I really went kind of overboard with the line work. I didn't want this to be too heavy and dark, but I also didn't want it to lack in detail. My sincere apologies to whomever agrees to actually tattoo this.When I first put out the idea of doing personal commissions, I had said that I only wanted to do black and white pieces. The reason for this was I felt like I had really lost some of my abilities with the brush with all the client work I had been doing. Thankfully my plan worked, and I have finally started to get my shit together again. I have spent way too much time recently listening to Eye Alaska and a lot of screamo music, such as Dead Swans and August Burns Red, and then reading old skateboarding magazines. I need to get a new hobby.A new president and new episodes of Lost in the same week? Be still my heart.
