don't count your chickens

    friday didn't exactly go to plan. i had a guy flying in from belgium for a two day appointment, a lovely buddha tattoo that i was really looking forward to. he didn't show up and only told me at the last minute. how dare he crash his car when i really want to do his tattoo!  i read my e-mails and two customers booked for conventions later in the year cancelled there appointments, again stuff i was really looking forward to. i guess everything happens the way its meant to happen but it really sucks when you are looking forward to cool work.

 not to be put off i took care of some things around the shop and got someone in for the afternoon to work on his sleeve. i had a cool day on saturday, all work in progress. today i did a really cool johnny cash portrait, 7 hours straight what a trooper. i love portraits and j.c is one of my favourite subjects he has a really cool face.

 oh yeah and i did the zombie chuck berry on thurs

day on kevin who is one of my favourite customers. zombie rock and roll tatts are so much fun.

                    

welcome to my blog. 

ive had a super busy but fun week so far. i just got back from working the helsinki tattoo convention with my partners in crime jo harrison and matt hunt from modern body art in birmingham. we had a great time, did some cool tattoos and partied hard as always. me and jo started a new collaboration drawing for our upcoming interview in tattoo masters magazine which we will auction off for charity at the tattoo jam in august, should be fun. i was back at work on tuesday and did a really cool portrait of my customers dad. i did a skeleton warrior today and tomorrow a zombie chuck berry! life is good.
