Pets on Juxtapoz

I just found this little write up on one of my tattoos I did a few years back on Juxtapoz, a nice surprise, and still one of my favorite dog portraits. And there's been a few!
Thank you Cait for letting me do the tattoo and for submitting the beautiful photo.

Jean Paul Gaultier & The DeYoung

I was fortunate to be asked to collaborate with the DeYoung museum here in San Francisco for their Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition, that was coinciding with SF Pride. They asked me to design a temporary tattoo for the event and this was the result:

Eastbound and down

East coast bound!
I will be working at Mooncusser Tattoo in Provincetown, MA, on Cape Cod for the whole month of August.

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.
