there should be some kinda early wake up tax....

OK, so today i had to.... (wait for it.... horror of horrors....) get to work EARLY. EAARRLLYYYYY. horrible. It was worth it coz i got to do a cool dragon on Fabritzio, a super nice guy who flew in from Italy. He was stressed about missing his flight this evening, hence the early start.



Anyways, i was getting sick of dragons, but i pretty much got loads of free reign with this (his reference was kinda like every style of dragon.... ever....) 10 points for research effort though! It was kinda fun drawing this one up, i normally hate drawing dragons but i got my paws on some really good reference material and now it's not so tedious. After him i finished up a sweet cover up (a gnarly snake on a repeat customer, but no pics coz black was healed, and it just looked a bit weird.... hopefully a healed pic sometime. you never know!

Anyways, after that i had to stay back and draw tomorrows tattoos (more dragons, believe it or not) but he really liked some outta the leu book, so it was just a case of redrawing them to fit around what he already has. pretty simple really.

anyways, it's 11:30pm and i'm gonna remember to take my sketchbook home tonight, so i can hopefully at least finish lining my new sketch, and then... chances are... i'll start something else and never finish it. I need to get outta that habit... i think it's coz i'm so used to doing linework for tattoos (i never colour in a design before i tattoo it anymore)... i just kinda got.... well.... lazy.

see what i mean.....





oh, and the green monstrosity that looks like a bird is actually an awesome painting i bought from Kepi Ghoulie! yup! true story!

He's also who our chihuahua with hydrocephalus is named after....

and he also does solo stuff.... here's a taste for y'all (once again, if u r reading my facebook rss feed blog.....check out the real thing here for the video!

you can dress a pig in pearls, but it'll still smell of shit.

Yesterday was my day off. God, i wish i got 2 of these a week! I could get so much done, but alas, one it is, and i chose to spend this one exploring Kwun Tong.... just because! We started off in the APM shopping centre, which ...... took me aback with their.... tasteful decorations.....!

Anyway, once my retinas had recovered, we had a wander about. Not much stuff worth buying (which worked out well, coz i'm trying not to spend too much cash right now...coz i've gotta pay for all this stuff i ordered recently!) anyways, this shop was kinda cool, if they had one for chihuahuas, i'da bought loadsa crap i'm sure!

These seats stole my heart a little! Comfortable, probably not.... Efficient, nope.... but cute, yep! I'd have one in my living room. Unfortunately they were very securely stuck to the floor.

I also kinda loved this book, but didn't buy it, coz once u seen one page of grinning fish, you've seen em all!

Oh, i did buy this, and i have decided that every kitchen needs one. It turns sandwich's into pockets, then u can grill them and stuff and have toasties or just have very very tidy looking sarnies! awesome..... we had baked beans and cheese toasted sandwich's for dinner.......

I also bought this weird game, it's kinda half pictionary, half charades..... i'll blog bout it as soon as i get some teams round to challenge me! (maybe me n ross will just have to be "teams" but that kinda defies the point.....) i think another mexican BBQ is in order.....

The whole mall was pretty much filled with horrible tacky overpriced crap. don't get me wrong, i like a bit of tacky, but this was..... tack-a-go-go...... too too much AND SO $$$EXPENSIVE!$$$

Anyways, after getting some food at the food court which was really gross and inedible, we wandered across to "Bonds fun city" (it's not really fun or a city.....)

we played a shoot em up til i ran outta change.

So that's what i got up to yesterday....in short.

Today, did 3 pieces, i'm only gonna blog one though, so savour it....it may be a while til i post anything else tattoo wise..... although i mighta filled a last minute appointment mover with a cool lil' piece, so we'll see..... he hasn't paid a deposit, so may be a big fat no go.

Nice easy going customer, visiting from Scotland. She had a cupcake rib piece, and i started foaming at the mouth thinking about how much fun it would be to do a cupcake the size of my hand. one day..... maybe......
