Thanks to a reader tonight for showing me their Annihilation tattoo and telling me it's their favorite novel. Means a lot. And thanks Portland in general. (Terrible with names alas.)

I made a playlist for the studio of some of my favorite songs that aren't rock... It ended up being a lot of country ballads! People seem to enjoy this one, so I thought I'd share here for y'all. Some yearning & wistful favs...

Coral snake freehand for Patrick. This one took about 4.5 hours to tattoo and an hour or so to draw on.

Hard to explain.. it's like a little rubber pouch with a slit in it, and the slit only opens when you squeeze it
I’m going to Mardi Gras in New Orleans again this year- here’s some 35mm photographs I took on my Olympus OM10 back in 2012, on my first trip to New Orleans.
Fenrir and Gleipnir by Walton Ford, and The Swan by Hilma af Klint for two different people.

Two headed garter snake to fill in the gaps on this nature sleeve. Healed work by the wonderful Rebecca Cameron. The snake's body was drawn on.

I totally took the photos I drew these from at that exhibit haha. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t seen more flash inspired by that exhibit around town!
A pale blue crab with very long legs and a bumpy, spiky carapace inspects a magenta orchid flower. The orchid has a yellow center and dark magenta spots on it’s lighter magenta petals.

A selkie, a half seal, half human creature from Irish folklore- plays an Irish flute while perched on jagged gray rocks encrusted with white and purple barnacles. She is surrounded by a border of green kelp. A calm ocean is behind her. Water ripples around the base of the rocks. She has long, wavy, dark red hair, and freckles on her pale peach skin. Her flute is long and black with 6 holes and no keys. She emerges from a seal skin that appears to still be alive and moving, because it is a part of her. The seal skin is brown with a lighter brown belly and dark spots on its back. The deal’s head rests on the woman’s head like a hat, and its flipper hugs her body. Her breasts are hidden by her arm and hair.
Here’s a custom tattoo design for a client that I got excited about and decided to color for fun. It’s a selkie playing an Irish flute! I have prints available at www.inprnt.com/gallery/vall...
