Watchers

Once again, it's been forever since ive written an entry so i'll just do an update.
the tattoo studio is doing well and has been going through changes lately, good and positive changes!
sometimes you just have to go through those growing pain of realizing which people are working well
in the studio and which ones... well, would be better off somewhere else.
We've held a number of art shows in the past year- the star wars grande re-opening show about a year ago,
feb 2010. zombies, robots and mosters in spring 2010, our second annual skate deck art show summer 2010,
pirates, pin ups and ninjas fall 2010 and the most recent- myths and legends show march 2011.
we are planning out next show in june 2011 with an 80s theme!
I designed i think 5? logos for my roller derby league and friends in the past couple of monthes.
which was definatly a fun learning experience!
we've also begun to hold life drawing session at the studio about once a month,
an opportunity for artists to show up and sketch with the benefit of a live model.
in other news while im still learning and growing in the tattoo feild and hope to expand my horizons
this year with a guest spot somewhere, my husband and mentor ryan cardinal has decided to retire
from tattooing this year after 14 years. i definatly support him in his decision, as he hopes to have
more time and passion for other forms of art, drawing, comics and digital.

at this moment i hope to focus of the following things in the next few months...
starting a few 80s themed paintings for the upcoming show, getting back into drawing
MUCH more pin ups and tattooing them. more abstract painting, mentally i have the
most fun and relaxation just painting without much of a plan. and as always spending
more time just sketching and drawing things for myself and not just clients!
i will also be spending some more time on salt spring island in june with my
tattoo equiptment for anyone that would like any work done by me!

i will try to check in again before the summer solstice!
blessed be!

Well there was never really a time that i haven't been creating (or destroying) something. I have always loved drawing, in highschool i was influenced by anime and gothic themes. I love the look of timeless portraits. I am inspired by many different eras, from 1500's rococo, 1800s victorian to 1920s nouveau and 1960s pulp sci fi covers. I also love to paint abstractly with acrylics and collage. I have always been an ADD artist flitting from one idea or style to another, often struggling to finish a peice.

I now am a tattoo artist and that industry has a huge amount of influence on my artwork, especially since im ussually now working what someone else wants, but it does make it very interesting.

oh! No I didn't know, but that's great :D
I'll have to go through my work and see if I have anything new by then. I'm going in an art gallery next week with the bulk of my originals, I may come back with all of them or someone may make an offer, don't know yet. The main one is 20x24" then several 8x10's and I'm hoping for one more 16x20" I will do a better count closer to September. Ideally how many would you want displayed?

Hey, I think I know that little building in the background of your ID photo. Holliby used that place to create her amazing costumes. Maybe? It looks so familiar. Do you know Holliby?
