I am happy to say that my career is on the up and up. With that progression comes the need for expansion. I felt it was time to have a webpage built and since I do want to continue blogging I had one built into the site. Sadly that means I will be having to leave this one behind. :( I am going to keep it up as a memory to how far I have come and to give everyone who might want to follow me the chance to find me. I am honored to have wonderful friends, fans and customers. See you at the new site</div>

I feel like there is so much work to share that has been missed over the past few months and so many experiences as well. Lets see if I can recap a few of my favorites for you. <br />
<br />
Hong Kong... Went there. It was amazing. Will be returning next year with the intention of doing a guest spot as well as seeing my family there. It has defiantly renewed with vigor my desire to travel more. I am looking into going to South Africa for a convention/ guest spot in January if I can gather the funds for the flight. <br />

ConventionThe Nashville convention was a blast for me. I had a great time hanging out with the artists from Kustom Thrills, Black Bird, No Kings Tattoo and the other amazing artists that showed up at the con. I felt much more comfortable and prepared than I had been at the DC convention in January so must be getting something right ;) <br />
<br />
I would like to say thank you to all who got tattooed at the convention for helpin to support the artists. I know I got to do some fun pieces on some amazing people. <br />

It is amazing how fast time flys. It been almost two months since I posted. I've become a year older, had a small magazine article in empire of honesty( a local mag), been promote to co-curator at the shops art gallery, went to Florida, been tattooing like crazy and now I am about to leave to go to Hong Kong. <br />
<br />
I can't tell you all how excited I am but before I go I want to make sure I share some of the pieces I have had the pleasure of working on. <br />

Each person wanting to show their faith and passion for the things they believe in is something I have always found a commendable trait. Here are just a few from this past few weeks that fit into what I am talking about. It's the south so most of it is Christian but I think all faith is beautiful no matter what the religious title it falls under. <br />

These are some of the military inspired pieces I have gotten to do recently. I really enjoyed the zombie half sleeve which was a walk in and took two sessions. He was just wanting to have a little fun but also recognize his time in the service. <br />
<br />
Military tattoos always come with a story. Whether to commemorate their time in the service like Todd's piece with the combined medals from his marine service or as memorial to family and friends who served like Tammy, Tracy, and Josh's were. I always enjoy hearing why people get what they do and try hard to give them something they can be proud of. <br />

I would have loved to see it in color but still really enjoy it in black and grey. It's one of my favorite pieces to date that I've done.

We are still settling in but I came in and repainted the booth to make it ours. It's pretty awesome what you can do with 3 gallons of paint, 4 rolls of tape and some time. <br />

Haha we'll have to see if I can get better about it as the yet progresses. It is important to me to keep you guys up to date as much as possible. :)<br />
<br />
A lot has happened this month already. I attended the 3rd annual tattoo convention in Washington D.C. with Ricky Cavaness, Cavan Infante, and Kris Roberts. Had a great time seeing old friends, making new ones, learning some new things and all in all realizing just how far I have not only come but how far I have to go. <br />
<br />
Hit home running really. It's been a busy which is nice because I can try to implement all that I learns while its fresh. I'll share some of my favorites from the month so far.<br />
<br />
Lots of changes at the shop as well. First art gallery showing of the year went well. They'll just get better and better from here on out. :) <br />
<br />
Jay-Mean left us to work with one of his good friends who has just opened his own shop here in town. <br />
<br />
I am moving into a new booth with our new artist Kim. Plus we have two new apprentices starting one for tattooing and one for piercing.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
It's a new year and a great time to focus on what I want to get done or ahead on at work. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
I try to set goals for myself regularly, finding that it helps me kick my butt in gear. :) Lists drive me because I like crossing them off so I usually write them down and then loose them in the piles of papers and things life likes to accumulate. Which is also why I like to write my goals down on some peice of nice stationary I was saving and then seal them in an envelope labeled Goals (the year) , do not open until next year. </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This is 2013's Goal List</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>*Get my own work Furniture. (Table, arm rest, standing light)</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been borrowing or sharing these items from fellow shop mates and feel like it is time for me to become my own self sufficient artist. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>*Purchase new higher quality machines</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the beginning I bought or traded for the best machines that I could afford. This got me started and has been working out fine but I think its time to become a big kid artist and up my game. Newer higher quality machines are a step in that direction. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>*Finish getting my Personal Website up</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last year in March I bought a domain name and thought I'd gotten the ball rolling in regards to getting a site up. Unfortunately its 2 months shy of being a year since I started that project and two web designers later I have nothing but a picture up saying site in progress. Time to fix that. I probably need to update my work on the shops page as well so we'll add that on to this goal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>*Post at least Weekly on this blog</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This blog is a lot like the lists that I like to make. Its a personal motivator to not only help me get things done but to really evaluate what I am doing. I mean if I don't think anything is worth posting that is probably a sign that I need to work harder on my designs, techniques etc. Plus I like keeping you guys in the loop of what I am doing. ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*<b>Quarterly Mail out to Friends, Family and Coworkers</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was already doing this in a kind of willie-nilly fashion as I thought of it or of people I wanted to keep get in touch with. However I noticed I could never seem to keep track of who I'd sent things to or what I had sent which lead to confusion on my end a few times. I don't want to mail the same card over and over again as I want to let people enjoy my progression as well a nice surprise. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*<b>Attend a convention as a Working Artist</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love going to conventions. Its a great place where people are everywhere, artists are put to the limits of their abilities, and art and ideas abound. In the past few years I have been to many conventions and always left exhausted but inspired and ready to attempt new things. I have yet to get to work at a convention as an artist though and this has made me very sad because I feel like its a wonderful proving ground. I can test myself to see how I hold up against the greats in the industry, to the stress of being under casual surveillance through every process of the tattoo, and having a very limited amount of time to finish a great amount of work. I think while I am still in the fledgling stages of my career that it is important to cultivate my skill in a public arena as well as a private one. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*<b>Update my Passport</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This industry more than almost any other allows you to travel and work easily. I love traveling and have put it off more and more over the past decade due to school, my apprenticeship, family, boyfriends etc etc. Its easy to make excuses to not travel. Not enough money, not enough time, no place to stay, the list goes on. I've decided this needs to stop. There have been small trips here or there and several moves around the country but my real travel dream lies in going out of the country. Conventions and guest spots could be the key to my travel dreams but I can't do this with out a passport and so I decided it needed to be on my list. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well that concludes my goals for 2013. Not to terribly long but more than enough I think to get me started in the right direction. Hope you all have your goals set and are as excited as I am to go after them. Maybe you'll even share some of your goals with me. </div>

Merry Christmas from the No Egrets Crew and I. I'm a bit behind but I was thinking about you guys and they say its the thought that counts. :) Now lets all enjoy our presents and get ready for the New Year!</div>

All of the images walk ins who wanted to get bird related tattoos this month. Even the painting was done based on a drawing for a walk in (we did something slightly different and I unfortunately didn't have get a photo of the tattoo to compare). <br />
<br />
The feather and the owl with the moon are both cover ups. I have been terrible this month at not remembering to take before pictures so I apologize for the lack of comparison again. The feather is covering small foot prints and the owl initials.<br />
<br />
The love birds represent the parents of the client. They apparently love birds and act like a couple still very much on love. :)<br />
<br />
The other owl was for a long time customer of No Egrets. She and her sister have been coming to get work done by the artists here since we opened. This was my first time tattooing one of them and it was a great honor. Especially since this peice is for both of her grandmothers who loves owls. I love this owl. It reminds me of old tea coozies for some reason. I think it's the flowers. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnn6XsIRWGYJjcy5OEdprzU_mMkcAg4FUCKBCD9El9vOEgir5vlC3yC7jZmItzR2fV0hbqvJ9MZ8VzIT1qvkFR8E__r8oHBEkYoBe5jUI_wWHAbwEq-IjN_knTSQeDfCMm99y2oaEC46M/s640/blogger-image--1322133237.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnn6XsIRWGYJjcy5OEdprzU_mMkcAg4FUCKBCD9El9vOEgir5vlC3yC7jZmItzR2fV0hbqvJ9MZ8VzIT1qvkFR8E__r8oHBEkYoBe5jUI_wWHAbwEq-IjN_knTSQeDfCMm99y2oaEC46M/s640/blogger-image--1322133237.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxy50P1gKwILVeprElnBzoEEgHOUJ5HIAF1BDc2U87i2qaA8Ybb5st3psXwoK8hFWkIVFwFHec0SylFQZwheT5_lWiNxzboFVg7Nog-u_Fh7IarcuooygcYUEJ2lIGMLj9JZrNtu7PORw/s640/blogger-image--1885952766.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxy50P1gKwILVeprElnBzoEEgHOUJ5HIAF1BDc2U87i2qaA8Ybb5st3psXwoK8hFWkIVFwFHec0SylFQZwheT5_lWiNxzboFVg7Nog-u_Fh7IarcuooygcYUEJ2lIGMLj9JZrNtu7PORw/s640/blogger-image--1885952766.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJzTZgp-sVeLNweREpKjbbbllYj8eSIeCm7oG-kTwufzflzFMi61R0Q8Cnev5rY83xzo4WKw6SmUrXpctdQxoZpXcDtc9GnJBej-4rRbMv27eoSkOsUcte5FjnvPF4ma8dFeJhJ4APoEc/s640/blogger-image-1417777858.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJzTZgp-sVeLNweREpKjbbbllYj8eSIeCm7oG-kTwufzflzFMi61R0Q8Cnev5rY83xzo4WKw6SmUrXpctdQxoZpXcDtc9GnJBej-4rRbMv27eoSkOsUcte5FjnvPF4ma8dFeJhJ4APoEc/s640/blogger-image-1417777858.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJP8O1k5dUu3t-0GFYyVSwu3ggEONGcJNTVHG0N94dut0Jg1fT0EoalgyisPZboMTCjg2_M7f4x294NJuYIvVTS3LbbS_ZGI8yZRAztGgn3qE5mI__FsXxHaq3kb45QnrN66ijtfqMx1A/s640/blogger-image--987422125.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJP8O1k5dUu3t-0GFYyVSwu3ggEONGcJNTVHG0N94dut0Jg1fT0EoalgyisPZboMTCjg2_M7f4x294NJuYIvVTS3LbbS_ZGI8yZRAztGgn3qE5mI__FsXxHaq3kb45QnrN66ijtfqMx1A/s640/blogger-image--987422125.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuFgJ2ku5Z-l0fsV8TeB2ESL528fqp9tCOB2M7mRGQF8zEJrsjlbl-froOf_10akS__TW2c7xLoyyuDiElp43SX1TGjPAIeboEbsLOmksroR3bZZYVJasx6CLglaecrLuvx-E4vVp-09I/s640/blogger-image--764587090.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuFgJ2ku5Z-l0fsV8TeB2ESL528fqp9tCOB2M7mRGQF8zEJrsjlbl-froOf_10akS__TW2c7xLoyyuDiElp43SX1TGjPAIeboEbsLOmksroR3bZZYVJasx6CLglaecrLuvx-E4vVp-09I/s640/blogger-image--764587090.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07868987587275141662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032130816651946781.post-68988439381829808742012-12-19T16:43:00.001-08:002012-12-19T16:43:48.218-08:00The End is Near<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't actually believe we're all going to die in a fireball of global doom but I am surprised at how accurate the Maya were at predicting major social change. Each of their Dynasties prior to their loss of power was marked by a huge social change that effected the culture. In some cases it was marked by violence but in others it was more of a shift of perspectives and cultural understanding. If the Maya were still around I feel they wouldn't be surprised at all to note the major changes in our society since the many wars and ages, particularly the industrial revolution, that have lead way to us as a whole now being forced to realize our effects and responsibilities to our planets natural resources and humanity as a whole. If I had to say anything the end of this Maya dynasty marks one of the most important cross roads that we as humanity face as a whole in our combined history. Namely how we intend to handle the major issues of health, rights, economics, and our effects on the creatures and nature of this planet. Do we ignore the signs of our abuse on natures systems or work to create a new culture that works with in the natural laws of our environment. Do we continue to hold back our scientists, educators and healers allowing the sick become weaker, the poor to become poorer, and the ignorant to remain just so the rich can continue to be richer or do we let knowledge and empathy have a chance to blossom so that we can all have the ability to live full healthy lives filled with understanding. That is the cross road I believe we are at. I have faith that humanity will choose to follow the path of knowledge and growth but in the end we'll see. Its an interesting time to be alive. Thats for sure. </div>

Phew. Well you might need some fun after a rant like that so if you live on the Atlantic coast and don't have any plans for the 21st you should check out the End of Times show at <a href="http://houseofmadnessstudios.com/">House of Madness</a>. I mailed off my paintings for the show and can't wait to hear about how they are received at the gala to celebrate the end of all seasons. I only sent off two paintings but they are both themed around the Maya.<br />

This one is based on a tattoo I designed and tattooed on a fellow named Taco in my apprentice ship. I've always gotten a giggle out of it and knew I wanted to paint it eventually but never seemed to get around to it until now. </div>

This beauty is a reworked drawing from a design I created for a walk-in customer. I'd kind of hoped to have enough time to paint another version of her for the show that I have drawn up but the time never presented itself so for now this is a lone Amazon but she's pretty boss with her jaguar head dress and face paint. </div>

I always really got a kick out of it and since the end of the world art show has a very Mayan theme I felt it was the prefect time to give another life to the image. It still has a ways to go and the date of the show is soon approaching but I am confident I can get it all done and shipped with the other 2 images for the show in time. Funny how quickly the end of the world approaches.<br />
<br />
Started and finished this reaper study for Bart's arm. It will be a cover up so I wanted to test out how I wanted it to look before hand. It helps me focus more on each line/ area if I already have a preconceived notion of what I want it to turn out like. Granted changes are always inevitable between paintings and tattoos but it still helps to have a game plan :) <br />
<br />
The other is a drawing from a walk in who didn't care for this version and went with another take on it. I still really enjoyed this one so I am painting it up in the hopes of inspiring a future taker on getting it tattooed. :) I will be sure to post it as soon as its done. <br />

The benefit went great. Turn out was awesome, tons of amazing art and goodies were auctioned off. Including a small watercolor I'd done earlier this year. At least 120 tattoos were done with all the proceeds going to help Cash, a little boy with brain cancer.<br />
