from the plane

You might or might not remember the tattoo I was thinking about getting after my show. I was never quite happy with it as black wings, so it sat, and then near the beginning of this year I started playing with turning it into a multicolor thing instead.

On the plane back from Seattle, I think I finally got something that makes me happy.



I will have to consult with a few tattooists to find one who I think can make this work, and to see if anything resembling yellow that intense is actually possible - there may have to be one more round of revisions before this goes on my body! But it's something I intend to start working on in the next few months, once we get to Seattle. I really feel, at this point, like it would be a bad idea to stick a huge load of Boston ink in my body just as I'm about to leave.

Then I ran my laptop's battery down playing a video game for a while. And switched to the sketchbook.



Well, Absinthe approves of our planned new location.



Black-n-blue water dragoness doodling. Kinda orca-y.


Dragon and vixen mermaids. Or sirens. Probably the latter, given the dragon in question.

Kindasorta, I took it a couple years ago for the first incarnation of this tattoo! I've kinda dropped the tail because I was never quite happy with it; once I get the wings I'll see what I feel like doing it. I keep on thinking of having it coil around a leg, kinda like I did on the Queen of Pentacles...
