Following groups of Boston's art scene around the gallery and eavesdropping on their conversations was great fun. I heard attendees propose all sorts of comical theories on what medium had been used to create the art in front of them, from oil paint to photoshop to (really) colored glass.

- ff00ff's, um, con report, about my show.

Colored glass! That's pretty cool. People are just not aware of Illustrator in general, especially at the level I use it. I had a few people ask me what the medium was, myself.

boyfriend + digital camera = much better idea of how it'd look on me

The little coil in the tail ended up almost precisely matched up with an old scar across my spine from when I was pushed off the stairs in front of high school.

Further refinement is needed, as is consulting with actual tattoo artists on the feasibility, but I think this'll pretty much work from a visual standpoint. I'm also thinking that the pain might not be too bad, as these things go - I know I'm pretty durable across the shoulders, I get bitten there all the time and just moan. Twining down the vertebrae is going to hurt, from what I hear, but it mostly skips across.
