Drawing and the likes

Hey Mr. Machine?
It’s 7:55am and I'm listening to The Decemberist track “Sleepless” my gawd. To hear such passion in a voice is refreshing. You can almost hear the emotion solidifying in each word.
So my weekend was good. Ice cream, Gardening and cleaning up a wood pile. What every Saturday should consist of me thinks. Also, I got some drawing in.

I started working on a chest piece that I am considering, here is a pic. And I was also drawing…or should I say trying to learn to draw traditional roses.

The simplicity that you see when you look at traditional tattoo art is rather deceiving nes pas? Meaning that too look at it, it looks rather simplistic and easy to do but there are so many personal nuances of each artist that it really takes you a moment to figure it out. (the Decemberist is done NOW it’s White lies: see my previous entries for details)

But yeah, traditional tattoo art is fun to draw but as of right now…a little involved. Drawing a rose, I find is less easy then say drawing a Skull. The skull I have there now took all of 10 min at most? Then just a matter of shading and such.

The Gypsies is an old idea and I seem to continue to work on it. I think the remaining work will be done digitally tho… we’ll see.

So yeah, Tattoo gear will be ordered sometime this week and I hope to have a bit of drawing prowess back before it arrives, BUT until then….. Stay tuned.
