GETTING MY INK ON W/ EM SCOTT

I was fortunate to get my ink done by Em Scott @ Under The Gun Tattoo, she was very precise and the artwork was tedious and detailed. The artwork is the furrowed brow of David -Michaelangelo's masterpiece sculpture and portrayal of not a triumphant victor, but as a thinking, resolute being-- the preconditions  for victory. Halftones make up the picture. 4 and 1/2 hours later, i was really stoked of the outcome. i am really thankful she was able to actualized the concept and artwork. Thnxs Em for being awesome at what you do !!!

FIRST PEG... 5624 TO GO...

IN THE WORKS...

I am working with a buddy of mine whom i went to school with back in the days of grad school. Jeremy is helping 

me fabricate a Bead Machine. Using the general template and techniques of fusing beads together we created a

a machined jig that will allow me to work with multiple stacked layers of fusion beads

  on the same image in a proficient and timely manner. 

Basically a peg board with longer pegs and more work space to create reproductions.

Jeremy has been so kind to document the making of this process, The Bead Machine in the making.  So far  

things are coming along smoothly.

I would like to share this with you and give a shout out to his shop out in Humboldt County for an awesome job. His shop is called WoodLab Design and the link to their Facebook:
