So… somehow in the past few days I’ve managed to keep REALLY busy, at work and in my personal life.  Here’s a glimpse of the past few days of utter and complete ridiculousness.
-On the way to my family reunion, got in to my FIRST car accident in the history of EVER.  Luckily, the guy was really [...]

Tell me… what defines your normal run-of-the-mill 23-year-old?  I don’t know how to be that.  And I’ve lost myself a long, long time ago.
And I don’t know what to do from here.
I’m so sick of me.

Get some!!!  New line out.  GET IT.

As we all know, I love doing lettering.  In addition to the sheer aesthetics of doing word tattoos, I love the powerful simplicity of tattoos that just say stuff.  Even down to someone getting something as stupid as “YOUR NAME” on his ass (yes, I have done that tattoo), or something deep like a verse [...]

Day off… Poor Lucky, had to stressfully drive forever just to get me to my shoot all the way out in Pupukea!  I have such a supportive boyfriend.  Anyway, one of my favorite photographers and friends, Goto (www.kengoto.com) came to visit his lady here in Hawaii… he’s from SF, shoots for Thrasher, Tattoo Burst, Rolling [...]

Thanks to Orly and Sam at www.cukui.com, our boys in San Jo… Orly always surprises all his friends with this kinda stuff, I think he’s trying to make us all famous.  He already put my boyfriend on two shirts that were sold at some pretty known retail stores, haha.  I didn’t think he was serious [...]

SNEAK PEEK!!!  I want to hibernate.  And produce.  I’m pretty stoked on this one, even though it didn’t come out anything like I had envisioned.  I think it will be fun, although tedious, to watercolor.  And that’s what it’s all about right?
My legs hurt.  I am an out of shape bastard.  Word of advice… if [...]
