New Work Coming Soon!

I've been lagging on updating this, mostly because I haven't had any new work to show. But, I do have a fat list of people I need to design tattoos for so I'll be spending most of today drawing. Which means new work to be posted!

"Branded For Life"

Finally. During our FL vacation, my siblings and I finally got our matching Tatts. We had something way different planned at the beginning, something I designed myself, but since we were low on time, we decided to do a shorter version of it. Which is just our last name “Samson” in Alibata script.

Already plan on finishing it throughout the year. :)

Busted Finger :(

I went to visit one of my Youth Group joining camps this past weekend to see the new candidates that are joining. I was helping set up which meant setting up chairs. These were steel chairs (ones with cushion) so they were piled on each other. Well one was stuck so one of the camp servants came to help me out. Well, my dumbass said "here let me hold this one down while you pull that one up." As he motioned to pull up, in my mind I quickly thought "Shit! BAD IDEA get your finger out of there!" so my reflexes pulled my hand out but it was too late. My middle finger was squished between 2 metal parts of the chair. I wanted to scream, loud, but contained myself for the sake of everyone in the room. As a matter of fact, I was so calm about it, the guy who pulled the chair didn't even know I busted it. I just grabbed my hand, exhaled really big, ran outside and screamed to myself. A little later I look at my finger and it's all bruised and what not underneath the fingernail. :(

So I can't use my middle finger. The slightest touch hurts like hell. Do you know how hard it is to type without your middle finger? Try it, not as easy as you think. I can't even type, let alone draw. Meaning I won't have any new sketches for awhile until this finger heals up.

More worse than that, I can't flip anybody the bird. It just don't look gangsta if you do it with your left hand.

Body Artwork: Chelsea Piedad

This is my homegirl Chelsea Piedad who asked if I can do a Koi fish body tatt on her. The only difference is she wanted a lot of color. I'm use to doing a lot of black or red or dark colored Kois so this was the first time I had to splash in a ton of color in it. Went to her house and got started. We spent about 3 hours at her house then my brother had to be picked up from Bart so we went to pick him up. After that we ended up kickin it at my hboy Josh's house where I brought all my supplies and finished it there. So all in all it was about a 6 hour progress. Didn't feel like it though. Time flies when you draw. lol

Sketchbook Series: Koi Fishes

They're just my favorite thing to draw. :)

Sketchbook Series: Filipino Pride

So if you read my other post about my homegirl asking me to design a Filipino Tattoo for her Dad, this was what initially came out. It has the Philippine Islands, the Sun from the Flag, and the Eagle. When I finished it however, I liked it so much, I decided to save it for myself lol! Was that selfish of me? Nahhh! :P

Sketchbook Series: Hannya Mask

Hannya Mask: There once was a woman who was in love with a man. But that man loved somebody else. The woman became so jealous her face transformed and she grew horns.

I always wanted to draw one of these. This is my first one. Not too shabby, I think. :)
