In case you didn’t know… I love broken people… haha, even obsessed, if you will. I don’t know how, or who, would be willing to do some morbid stuff.  So for now, I’ll just keep my fucked up ideals in my paintings  And as far as the people in this post, they are AMAZING. [...]

FYI… Kaiser Hospital = NO DEALS.  I apologize to everyone that I had to reschedule due to a stint at the hospital.  I had recently been put on a new medication that had some kind of crazy synergistic reaction to an existing medication and totally fucked my shit up.  Felt like DEATH.  So I have [...]

Sorry guys, I know I haven’t been updating… which, as usual, I excuse my self for, with no real valid reason as to why, other than the usual laziness.

God it’s ridiculous… one day you’re holding them when they’re newborns…
Then…
Poof!  They’re not little babies anymore… If only they could stay that way, huh?  Haha.
I took out my baby sisters for a sister’s day out.  Since I’m the eldest and wasn’t raised up with them, I’m so used to being with my dad and having [...]

Finally got to finish Rox… technically we were done a bit ago, but she got real sick mid-tattoo for the last session, that we didn’t get to finish the little hearts in the back ground… I’m not one to be like, “Oh that tattoo I did is sooo coool”… but I really adore how this [...]
