Starting the New Year off early

In preperation for the coming new year, I've decided to start a blog documenting my progression in tattooing and art, and the adventures it take me on. This will be the first year that I hit the tattoo convention circuit seriously, meaning at least one convention a month. So I look forward to lots of travel adventures and new friends.
It's also the first time since I've started tattooing that I have the time and drive to really delve into other art forms. So I want to show the development in oil painting as well as tattooing, and how they play off eachother. To start this off I'm putting up some recent sketches for some tattoos I'd like to do this year. So enjoy and check back often as I hope to be updating this at least once a week.
