New stage,

new ideas.

My blog posts have been pretty half-hearted for quite a while, please excuses my sloppy web-presence. I am always weary of the internet, especially since I use it to disseminate images of my commercial work. I don't want to come off as shameless or exploitative of the generous people who come to me for tattoos. I feel strongly though about the work I've been doing lately, so I'm starting to try to make more of an effort to put my best e-foot forward. The work that I've had the privilege to do this summer has been amazing. Here are some new pieces and some other photographs that have inspired me lately.

Summer's over, we all know.

Really fun.

Great one in Brunkild, never seen this before.

Keith Richards was there too.

This style of tombstone is amazing. I've got a few nice tattoo designs of these if anyone's interested.

A hand-poked tattoo I did a while back, fully healed. In case you're interested in work like this, I should tell you, I hand poke at the shop, and this took me two hours.

Another fun little one. Balsam poplar.

So many fun ones! Wishbone... check.

Some juniper for Shally's sister.

Jared Arnason - Five-oh - skate park west.
 
 This pile of bison bones were at Fort Whyte, worth checking out. I don't know if you're supposed to handle them or not, but I sure did.

 
The wheat in the centres of this Fleur De Lis was already there, I added the Fleur, to make it look less like a pot leaf.

 
The "everything Went Black" artwork, it was on my list of stuff I'd love to tattoo... Check.

 
I managed this photo of a crow while camping at Otter Falls with Avery.


A black capped chickadee on the rampage!

Avery's first ferris wheel ride at the Morden corn and apple festival.

Shally, my beautiful wife.
Heart Melter warning












The Sam!

Dandy lion.


 Just got back a roll, lots of different stuff.  I love doing these full-figure plants,  the weather vane was a really fun one,  the black ribon... Thanks for looking.  Thanks all you great clients.  Some day I'm going to get a good website... some day.

May to June, Twenty twelve.

Thanks for visiting my weblog.  This is a bit of a longer post than usual, all i can say is thank you so much to all my great clients.  It's rolls of film like this that make me feel lucky to be where I am already in tattooing.  Enjoy.


















Swallows, any way I wanted.


















This was a fixer-upper, but I'm actually really satisfied with the results.   The linework was not done by me.













Another really fun one.   













I don't go crazy tattooing hands and necks all day, but on this roll I went there a bit.













I'd love to do more work like this.


















A trim little boat.




































Come cogs and chainrings on a great client of mine. 













It's been a while since I did one of these..


















A fifth hand, again, I'd love to get more work like this coming through.


After Kelsey's fifth hand we whipped up this little coffee cup.  I've been waiting for the right opportunity to bust these birds out for a while.  


















 A doe, a deer...



















Another great client.   Ian came in for this snake skeleton.












I got this healed photo of his drum.


















A crow for Scott.  I also put the black band on his wrist.

Thanks for looking,
Bram
