New Print Series!

I finally got my own wide format printer! Picked up a sweet deal on a Canon Pro 9000 Mark2... Let me tell you.... ITS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!! you have to see them in real life... Ill try to take a picture of a print but it still doesnt do it justice.

Anyway I did a series of limited edition prints to test out the colors and went a little crazy... The first set I did was the steampunk skull series. I designed 20 different color schemes and then did only one-off print of each. Thats it... Next I did the retro looking skeleton smoking joints poster in 3 different color schemes and only did 7 of each. All of these are hand signed and numbered and printed on expensive ass museum quality archival watercolor paper. Thats the only thing with the printer...the nice fine art paper is pretty ridiculous in price. But when you print on it you will know where every penny went... I couldnt believe the colors I was able to produce! very vibrant bright colors. And the paper isnt even glossy. Its totally matte but the colors are amazing.

So I did those...came out sweet. And now im on to my next series. Im posting the original painting I did for it. I always paint the original with only black ink... I dilute the ink and paint it on watercolor paper with a "spit-shading" technique (a tattoo artist thing... learned it from my bff at work. THANKS NICK BONES!) I then scan it in at super high rez and digitally color it in layers using Photoshop. It takes me a while to do all this....but once it done and printed its pretty amazing to see it in person. I enjoy this new technique and will be using it more often. Im getting better at watercolors. I think my style tends to change a little using them but I still bring in the sickness! enjoy. and check back soon for color versions of the decap girl piece!

Biggs Pawn Sculpt! ver. 1

Just started sculpting my first chess set. Started with the pawn of course. Check it out. Im sculpting it in digital 3D and then going to send it to get printed in 3D... Once I get them done I will be releasing limited edition hand painted full sets. Might even sculpt a bad ass board to go with it. Im getting quicker with the software im using. So much fun!!!! more pics to come.

Im alive...here's some tattoo pics!

Im back! damn,... was gone for a while. I cant believe how busy I have been and still kept my sanity. Had a solo art show and huge tattoo convention to prepare for... I survived and did really well at both shows! I am going to be posting a lot of new stuff in the next few days and weeks ahead. I got so many new tattoo pics and art pics to post it would just be too much to post in one sitting...so heres the first set. This is some of the work ive done recently at Studio 21... which by the way, is the most bad ass shop ive ever seen or worked for by far!!!! Anyway enjoy... more to come.

new art!

Finally! got some new art done. Had a few art shows this month. One is an all black and white themed show so I did 3 black ink paintings. They were so much fun to paint I think Ill do more!!! and I did 2 smaller oil paintings that are just weird....but fun stuff.

I moved into the new shop! I love it to death! Everyone there is super amazing and very nice and professional. Its the best tattoo shop Ive ever seen or worked in. Studio 21 is my new home. Expect to se some new tattoo pics soon. Ive already done some cool new stuff! enjoy.
