Happy fella

Just got my new camera and I FRIGGIN' LOVE IT! Took some quick shots just to see if it actually works.. and IT DOES!

Crazy Laser Lady

I got some laser treatment today from Evelina at South Of Heaven Custom Tattoo studio in Västerås. And fuck it hurt. My precious first tattoo from '92 has to go. I did get it re-done in '93, but still, it was an ugly piece of work. The whole thing was pretty faded already, so I might not even need more treatment, just a new piece on it.
AND, while having dinner last night Evelina asked me if/when Im gonna get tattooed by Andreas, the husband, studio owner and tattooer. I said hell yes. But then it kinda hit me, what am I gonna have then? Its easy to draw something to a person when they say what they want. They get tattooed and they leave. So long. But now its my arm and I have to/get to live with it for the rest of my life.

I got three options:

1. I design it
2. Andreas designs it
3. We design it

Somehow it feels really fucking tempting to design it myself and then get it done by one of the best in business. Of course were gonna discuss about it together, what works and what doesnt, but I just might be such a narcisst bastard and have my own design put on me. I can have Addes designs later on. Next time. And then again. An so on.

Heres a rose I did on my leg.

Laters!

Wow.

The tiger has been done a million times. And will be. But this must be the coolest Ive ever seen.

Santa Cruz Hand!

Friend of mine said that this looks like one of them 80's Santa Cruz skateboard decks. Its kinda true. Just didnt think of it while doing it. Neo traditional does look a bit like that though...

Simple ones...

Its harder than you think to draw simple. Well, practice makes perf..BETTER.
Just some quick ones..

Skulls..

Another fast sketch on the train. I dont know why Im constantly sketching skulls. Maybe because theyre pretty hard to do. Or make them nice at least. Theres million and a one ways to do them, but only so often comes a nice one. Im not saying I do nice ones, but Im getting there. Another one is roses, easy to do but very hard to make them look good.
And then theres all the styles... Old school, new school, traditional, neo traditional, realistic.... I kinda like all of them, really. But still, I rarely see nice ones. Actually, if I wanna see nice ones I always check out the same favourite artists of mine. But of course, theres thousands of artists that I dont know about that make the most amazing art. Just gotta find them..
