Starting off 2012 right

Staying busy tattooing, here is some recent work I've done at Idle hand tattoo, since the new year...

Dream Team

Earlier this year my good friend and very talented artist Pacolli asked if I'd be interested in participating in a group show called Dream Team she was curating in her hometown of Sao Paolo, Brazil. Needless to say it was kind of a no-brainer, and in October the show went up! The line-up is impressive to say the least with artists such as Pacolli herself, Mildred, Mats?!, Esther Pearl Watson, LL COOL JO, Mark Todd, just to mention a few...

Mildred wrote a piece for Fecalface on the opening of the show:
Dream Team in Sao Paulo - Part 1
Dream Team in Sao Paulo - Part 2

I'll post pictures of my paintings soon...

The Last Few Months...

I've been terrible with updating lately, so here's a pile of new tattoo work I've done recently at Idle Hand and on my travels:


Pest in peace True. She passed just a few weeks after this tattoo was done on my good friend Steve, at Mooncusser Tattoo in Provincetown, MA.


Another dog done at Mooncusser Tattoo in Provincetown, MA.


Fun add-on to the existing lamp, done at 4 Star Tattoo in Santa Fe, NM.


Bob.

Gypsy Life

Once again the wanderlust strikes and I venture east.



This time I'm going to Provincetown, a sanctuary at the furthest tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. A few good days of sun, ocean, bonfires, 4x4's, drag queen karaoke, and mostly some good tattooing. I'll be doing a guest spot with my good friends Khristian and Andrea at Mooncusser Tattoo.
I will be there from July 11th - July 16th, call the shop or email me to schedule an appointment, as this will be my ONLY tattoo stint on the East coast for a while...

I will be making a brief stop in Portland, ME, after P-Town, but I will NOT be tattooing at Squid & Whale on this trip, quality time with friends is priority this time.
Again, to anyone in the Northeast interested in getting tattooed while I'm out there, contact me or Mooncusser Tattoo for an appointment. It's an easy drive or bus ride from Boston, or an even easier ferry ride. Contact the shop for directions.



Next stop on my travels is Santa Fe, NM, for some desert magic, and possibly some tattooing at 4 Star Tattoo with my good friend and incredible tattooer Mr. Eric Jones, who is doing some traveling of his own. Follow his journey and enlightened musings on his blog.
I will be in Santa Fe July 19th - July 25th. Contact me or 4 Star if you want to get tattooed while I'm around.

I should be back in the bay by July 26th, I still have a few openings left before I leave...
