Graphic Design and Fine Art

(that title is a beatles reference in case you care)

moving out to Hawaii soonish, just a few weeks left here in California. been doing more tattooing than any other art form lately. and unfortunatly not much tattooing at that. i'm taking a much needed break from art.

i got my BA in graphic design a couple weeks ago!

well i haven't actually physically gotten it yet, but if i passed all my finals (and i'm quite sure i did) i got it for sure. woot

gonna do a watercolor (or maybe just pen and ink) soon. i have the paper prepped on a board, just need to think of something worthwhile to paint/draw. need inspiration!

i did a sweet Darth Vader portrait on Shane's friend Alex's ankle tonight. She sat amazingly, almost no twitching or moving and she didn't complain once other than her toes getting cold :-p. It amazes me how some people can tolerate getting stabbed with a needle thousands of times without even blinking, but how some other people can't stand it for a moment. Luckily, no one has bailed on me half way through a tattoo yet. A partially done tattoo looks much worse than a finished one even if the finished one sucks. Luckily I haven't done a totally sucky tattoo yet either. I find that any art I do even if it is lousy at some point can be made to look presentable if i work on it enough. Well, so long as the initial concept is decent. I've definitly done some crappy artworks, but those are bad in idea, not execution.

Should I re-work some old works? Or start new ones? hmmm
