circus painting

I was wasting time on the computer the other day, when I came upon some vintage circus photos... to tell you the truth, they were creepy as hell... But they made me want to create this painting.... I kept the clowns posture very simple... Almost like he's bored. Not for sure if it means anything.. But I always wonder if I do that as a subconscious choice... Who knows.. In the end... I like the finished product... So there we go.

Tattoo Flash





 
One part of a tattoo apprenticeship is to create flash -- lots of flash.
Mountains, and mountains of watercolor paper... all filled with roses, skulls, and other thing. Things screaming to be permanently fused to skin... to walk with a living soul... to be with them till death.
Illustrated tales to tell their friends, and family...  scars of true love, pain, or maybe just a wild night. Markers of mastery over pain...

I'm working hard for the honor of giving them that -- for doing the work of Shamans, circus workers, and sailors.

Skeletor

A portrait of He-Mans mortal enemy... Skeletor!!!!!! My lovely girlfriend believes that he was the good guy in the show... Says that prince Adam, probably was a total tool... I kinda agree...

I paint a hell of a lot of roses!!!!!

 A western themed painting... Loosely based on the song " The yellow rose of Texas."
 A scary zombie version of the Gypsy woman tattoo design...
A ghost coming from a smoking skulls pipe smoke... No real clue as to the narrative for this one... Just found the image kinda funny... I'm really happy how the skull came out.
